Kingston DC1000B 480GB SSD Review



Kingston rate the 4K random read performance of the 480GB version of the DC1000B as up to 205,000 IOPS (with the drive in a Steady State). With our four-threaded tests we were able to squeeze a bit more out of the drive, 211,074 IOPS, (at a QD of 32) when fresh out of the box.

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.
