Rating: 8.5.

Lexar's ARES RGB DDR5 memory range is aimed at gamers and PC enthusiasts with speeds ranging from 5600MT/s up to 7200MT/s. It has an aluminium heat spreader to help keep it cool under load and comes with RGB lighting built in.

Lexar's ARES RGB product line consists (at the time of writing) of just one kit size, 32GB and five speeds; 7200MT/s, 6800MT/s, 6400MTs, 6000MT/s and 5600MT/s.

Lexar kindly sent us an ARES DDR5-6400 kit to review. It uses a pair of single-rank 16GB DIMMs (using SK hynix A-die ICs), XMP 3.0 / EXPO rated at 6400MHz at 32-38-38-76 at 1.40v.

Thermaltake backs the memory with a lifetime warranty.

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.
