Crucial T500 2TB PCIe Gen4 SSD Review

Simon Crisp October 31, 2023 Featured Tech Reviews, Reviews, SSD Drives, Tech News

We used CrystalDiskMark 8‘s custom settings to test the 4K random read performance of the drive through a range of queue depths. The setup for the tests is listed below.

Transfer Request Size: 4KB, Outstanding I/O: 1-32.

With our 4-threaded random 4K read testing we couldn't get close to the official rating of 1,180,000 IOPS with a best test result of 510,074 IOPS.

4K Random Read v QD Performance.

At QD1 the 2TB Crucial T500 sits in a mid-table position, however, at QD's 2, 4 and 32 it moves up to lie in the top 10 of drives tested to date.

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.
