Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 mini-review: The new people's champion annilates Titans

Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1070 is one hot as hell graphics card, delivering Titan X-level performance at a price real gamers, video editors and creative content producers can afford. The blowers on high-end GPU's are so big now that they may even be able dry your hair or hands if they are wet.  You’ll findthe a single HDMI 2.0b connection, a single dual-link DVI-D connector, and three full-sized DisplayPorts that are DP 1.2 certified, but ready for DP 1.3 and 1.4. That last tidbit means the card will be able to power 4K monitors running at 120Hz, 5K displays at 60Hz, and even if you think 4K & 5K are old news and passe maybe the fact that it supports 8K displays at 60Hz will excite you. Keep in mind you’ll need a pair of cables for that last scenario to work.

Lamps, Life & Tribulations


The Aladdin4D Blog started about  ten years ago with the acquisition of Aladdin4D and the hopes and dreams of renewing development of it. Like a long televised soap opera it's had its ups and downs over those years and things have happened that we could have never predicted. The inspiration to start the blog came from Martin's Minutes. 

For those that don't know Martin's Minutes was another blog on the Internet before they were even called blogs that was from a 3D Animation companies founder that discussed a program called "Animation Master". It was fun and insightful to read and was also started by a company that got its beginning making Amiga 3D Animation software.

Like the Aladdin4D Blog, that site didn't always discuss just 3D software, it also covered topics about the world we live in and the deep thoughts of Martin Hash. It was a valuable insight into the brilliant mind of the creator of Hash Inc which is still around today.
