Samsung 960 EVO 1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD Review

Simon Crisp November 15, 2016 Featured Tech News, Reviews, SSD Drives

Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0.3.

At deeper queue depths the SDD960 EVO performs very well with the Intelligent TurboWrite technology giving the write performance a small boost over the SSD960 PRO. The new Samsung 2.0 driver boosts the SSD960 PRO's performance in both read and writes.

Comparing the two sets of results shows that the Polaris controller has no real preference when it comes to the type of data it's asked to work with.

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.

Its really hard to trust Samsung with e Drive 1667 they never delivered on the 950 like they promised and I don’t have any faith that they will deliver on the 960. Until this happens it’s a non purchase for me. I am disappointed no hardware site has taken them to task on this.
