Crucial T700 2TB SSD Review

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.

In our four-treaded 4K random read tests we couldn't get close to the official maximum of 1,500K IOPS. The best figure we saw was 512,082 IOPS (QD16) before the performance dropped back to 511,779 IOPS at the end of the test (QD32).

4K Random Read v QD compared.

Even though our test results couldn't get anywhere near the official figure, the drive still ranks as the fastest consumer NVMe drive we've seen to date in all the tested queue depths.

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.
