In an effort to maintain a friendly and productive Video Cards & Graphics forum, the moderators here at Anandtech would like to continue a proactive approach to forum conduct.
We know that it gets exciting around launch time for new products, however we would ask that all members remain civil to one another and keep the discussions on topic.
By being civil, we observe the following:
First things first: All members, especially new ones, should familiarize themselves with the following.
Anandtech Forums Guidelines & TOS:
https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/anandtech-forum-guidelines.60552/
Emphasis on the following:
Occasional personal comments that can be categorized as mild banter and tongue-in-cheek back-and-forth are to be expected in VC&G.
Habitual attacks, even mild in tone, can be expected to be met with moderator action for the benefit of the rest of the community.
For example, if you repeatedly call someone a "fanboy, shill or etc." this will be considered habitual attacking and will be met with moderator action.
We do expect all parties to know when enough is enough and to avoid escalating any given situation into a serious public spectacle.
Keep the threads ON TOPIC. Do not derail threads. It would seem the biggest reason for thread derailment is a member getting personal about the opinion of another member.
Discuss the topic, not what you think of a member for having an opinion.
Learn when to say, "When". Agree to disagree. No need for 15 pages of getting nowhere.
This forum has come a long way, and there is no point in turning back now.
Thread-Title Citation Expectations:
Per community voting, thread titles containing information based on 3rd party sources must include a citation of the source in the thread-title.
For example, if a member wishes to start a new thread based on information from an article published on Semi-Accurate, the VC&G community expects the thread-starter to incorporate some manner of reference to Semi-Accurate in their thread's title.
"S/A: 580GTX's are not manufacturable"
or
"580GTX's are not manufacturable, per Semi-Accurate"
The thread-citation guideline was approved for permanent adoption by VC&G community vote effective Sunday Mar 27, 2011.

Do not just drop links without comment. People need to know what are in the links before deciding whether to click on it.
It is your job as a poster to comment on it. If you post and do not comment on the post, you will be infracted.
Same as the rule in the CPU forum.
Thank you very much,
