We took note of the drive’s temperature during some of our benchmarking runs. The drive uses a graphene aluminium heat spreader in the label that sits on top of the controller and four of the eight NAND packages to help dissipate heat but it still gets pretty hot as most Gen4 drives do. The drive reached 68° C (with a 20° C ambient temperature) during the Performance Stability test, which is quite toasty but we didn't see any thermal throttling issues.

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.
