Then they came along with the Rocketbook Everlast, which promises unlimited uses and simple erasing with any damp towel so long as you use the right pen. |

Nvidia RTX 2070 Founders Edition Video Card
So just over 3 weeks ago both the RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080 were unveiled. You can find my reviews of the RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080 at those links. While both were extremely fast, they were also expensive and a lot of the main features weren't really out yet. With those at the top of Nvidia's product stack that left a lot of people wondering what to do for builds that aren't as expensive as a used car. Some people just decided to go with last generation cards, but today the RTX 1070 is finally available and with a $499 starting point it is at least in reach of a lot more people. But before you run out and buy one, let's take a look at how they perform. With the RTX 2070 Founders Edition in hand, I'm also curious to see how different it is than the two other RTX cards so I will take a quick look at that as well. lanoc.org
