News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

How is posting this link a legit use of hacker news? I get that Hacker news is often used for important product releases/updates, but when it comes to Nvidia and AMD, this feels like product placement. Nothing in this is particularly newsworthy hardware, and we're talking about the coke vs pepsi of the pc gaming adapter world. If it was someone reviewing it, that would be different, but this is right to the vendor. I expect more from the mods.

HN is for talking about stuff that hackers find interesting. Hackers are interested in cheap GPUs to level up their machine learning abilities.

Yes I think that cheaper Nvidia board with 16GB VRAM is newsworthy (though memory bandwidth is bad)

People are very interested in generative AI which can be VRAM hungry. LLMs, Graphics, etc. One of these is a mid range SKU with 16GB of VRAM. The next notch up doesn't even have a 16GB VRAM SKU.

As far as the Coke vs. Pepsi comparison, Nvidia's CUDA is like not even that right now. It's a curbstomp in developer experience. You can get in on that action for cheaper now.

The way it works is that users decide if it's legit by upvoting it.

4060 Ti is big news for generative ai and llm hobbyists on a budget.
