Crucial T700 2TB SSD Review

We used CrystalDiskMark 8’s custom settings to test the 4K 70/30 mixed read/write performance of the drive through a range of queue depths using a single thread and four threads.

Using a single thread, the Crucial T700 performance climbs in a fairly smooth curve from 26,920 IOPS (110MB/s) at QD1 up to 168,114 IOPS (688MB/s) at QD8 where the performance slowly begins to plateau out, finishing the test run (QD32) at 179.918 IOPS (736MB/s). Using four threads the performance climbs from 108,994 IOPS (446MB/s) at QD1 to 502,947 IOPS at QD16 before slowly flattening out, finishing the test run at 503,716 IOPS (2,063MB/s).

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.
