Armari AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX – 32-Core Threadripper 2 Workstation Review

Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V6.0.0 x64.

SSD Performance

The Armari workstation was equipped with the latest Samsung PM981 NVMe M.2 SSD in 1TB form. This isn't significantly quicker than its predecessor at reading, offering 3,296.7MB/sec sequentionally, but its writing is a lot faster than previous generations, maxing out at 2,230.6MB/sec.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
