Cooling Performance

Cooling Performance Overview
The 120mm CPU cooler is unimpressive, and so too is the cooler on the GTX 1080 Ti Armor. Taken together the two pieces of hardware acted as though they were overclocked, even while they delivered only modest performance.

We noted in our video that the Core i7-8700K was running at 4.1GHz on all cores where we would expect to see 4.3GHz. Our best theory is that the VRMs on the motherboard are unable to handle the i7-8700K at full load and the tiny heatsinks on the VRMs only make matter worse.

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.
