Corsair One i300 (2022) Review (12900K & 3080 Ti)

As the RTX 3080 Ti is a standard component, overclocking is possible for the Corsair One, and we used MSI afterburner. However, as we saw, memory temperatures are already quite high, so we opted to leave the GDDR6X at stock clocks.

Overclocking the GPU only then, we were able to add another 115MHz, which saw the operating frequency settle at around 1800MHz in our testing.

This overclock saw small performance improvements, typically in the region of 2-4%. It's something I guess, but it's not exactly much of a difference to gain an extra 2FPS.

Thermals were just fine when overclocked however, as only the hotspot temperature increase by 1C. The liquid cooler is clearly able to handle the increased clock speed.

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.
