PCSpecialist Odin i7 Ti Air Review (12700K/3070 Ti)

Our Time Spy CPU score is comfortably better than the i5-12600K, delivering 15769 points, 2376 more than the i5. Leo's 12900K scored 18032, so we are right in the middle here.

On the GPU side of Time Spy, the Gigabyte RTX 3070 Ti hits 14938 points, which is over 1200 points more than the RTX 3070 FE. Compared to an RTX 3080 however, it lags behind by 3003 points, though that is to be expected.

Our Samsung 970 Evo Plus performed exactly as expected in CrystalDiskMark 8, with reads of 3570 MB/s and writes of 3313 MB/s. Our secondary drive, the Seagate Barracuda again, as expected scored 228 MB/s reads with 212 MB/s. It certainly does open your eyes to how far storage has come over recent years but overall having this extra capacity is great, providing you have a little bit of patience during game loading times.

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.
