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

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

AS SSD is a great free tool designed just for benching Solid State Drives. It performs an array of sequential read and write tests, as well as random read and write tests with sequential access times over a portion of the drive.

AS SSD includes a sub suite of benchmarks with various file pattern algorithms but this is difficult in trying to judge accurate performance figures.

Again, the SSD960 EVO's Intelligent TurboWrite gives it the edge over the SSD960 PRO by a far distance although its read performance is nowhere near as strong. Using the Samsung 2.0 driver with the SSD960 PRO saw the read figure drop a little but the write figure got a small but useful boost.

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.
