Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB SSD Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell April 11, 2012 Featured Tech News, SSD Drives

Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0.1 x64.

4K QD32 performance is quite good, although Sandforce drives don't score as well when dealing with incompressible data.

We enabled the ‘compressible’ data mode, otherwise known as ’0×00′. Read performance increases a little, and write performance increases by a huge margin, as we would expect.

Above, some included compares from other leading solid state drives which we have reviewed in recent months.

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.

    Yay, the first of many I hope. Nice job from Kingston indeed !
