Kingston KC3000 2TB SSD Review

Simon Crisp December 22, 2021 Featured Tech Reviews, Reviews, SSD Drives, Tech News

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 4K random read testing, with our 4-threaded random write testing, we couldn't get close to the official maximum of 1,000,000 IOPS. The best we saw was 328,795 IOPS at a QD of 16. The performance slipped back at the end of the test run (QD32) finishing at 323,230 IOPS.

4K Sustained Random Write v QD comparison.

At queue depths 1 and 4 the drive sits in the top half of the results chart while at queue depths 2 and 32 it's heading towards the bottom half of the results chart.

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.
