Samsung 990 Pro 2TB Review

Simon Crisp October 19, 2022 Featured Tech Reviews, Reviews, SSD Drives, Tech News

In our read-throughput test the drive peaked at the 8MB block mark at 5,443MB/s, quite some way short of the official maximum of 7,450MB/s. However, it was 180MB/s faster than the heatsink version of the previous generation SSD 980 Pro and 283MB/s faster than the standard SSD 980 Pro.

In the write throughput test, the drive peaked at the end of the test with a result of 5,926MB/s. Once again slower than the official maximum but a lot faster than the two models of the previous generation SSD 980 Pro; 1,886MB/s in the case of the heatsink-equipped drive and 1,903MB/s for the standard one.

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.
