Kingston DC1000B 480GB SSD Review



As the DC1000B has been primarily designed as a boot drive we thought we would time how fast the drive boots from a cold start into a ready to use, basic installation of Windows Server 16.

We compared it to a SATA based 2.5in SSD and a fast mechanical hard drive.  As you can see the DC1000 boots in half the time of a standard HDD and two seconds faster than a SATA interfaced SSD.

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.
