Crucial T700 2TB SSD Review

We used CrystalDiskMark 8‘s custom settings to test the 4K random write 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.

As with the random read performance, the random write test results are nowhere near the official maximum figure of 1,500K IOPS in our four-threaded testing. The drive's performance is pretty consistent from QDs 2 to 32 with the peak result of 486,798 IOPS coming at the QD16 mark before finishing the test run at 485,696 IOPS (QD32).

4K Random Write v QD compared.

Crucial's T700 tops the chart at QD1 but as the queue depth deepens, the other Gen 5 drive, the Gigabyte AORUS Gen5 10000 takes over.

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.
