Samsung SSD 870 QVO 4TB Review


The SSD 870 QVO uses Samsung’s Intelligent TurboWrite technology to boost write speeds by using a portion of the NAND to run in SLC mode as a write buffer. By default the fixed part of this buffer is 6GB but if more is needed the technology allows for, in the case of the 4TB drive, an extra 72GB Intelligent TurboWrite region. The official Sequential write performance figure for the default buffer is up to 530MB/s but out of the buffer, this figure drops to 160MB/s. In our cache test, the performance in the default 6GB buffer averaged 486.92MB/s and 169.45MB/s out of the buffer.

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.
