PCSpecialist Fusion Spark Review – buy now, upgrade later!

Sound wise our system idled at 39 dBa, whilst running Cinebench R23 only saw an increase of 7 dBa and whilst gaming sat at around 47 dBa. With the RX 5500 XT and our 750W PSU our idle wattage was 77, whilst running blender it jumped up to 260w and gaming reached a steady 240w. Swapping over our card to the RX 6700 XT saw our power consumption jump to 96w when idle, 277w during Blender and while gaming we see a considerable jump up to 386w.

With our single fan CPU cooler and 6 chassis fans CPU temps idled at a good 31 degrees, whilst hitting 72 under an extensive Cinebench R23 run, gaming sat slightly lower at 66 degrees. Temps for our RX 5500 XT idled at 48C, reached 60C during 3DMark tests and 66C during gaming. Our RX 6700 XT card saw an idle temp of 40C, 55C during 3DMark and 60C while gaming.

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.
