Falcon Project X VR Ready Gaming PC Review

Here we test the Falcon Project X VR Ready Gaming PC ‘s storage performance, using CrystalDiskMark 5.2.1.

The AData SSD inside the Falcon delivered read and write speeds of 1,058MB/s and 800MB/s. That’s about twice the speed that you’ll get from a SATA SSD, sure, and it’s better than any of the drives in any rival machines.

However, it’s still disappointing for a NVMe drive. The best NVMe SSDs will treble those benchmark speeds easily, and upgrading isn’t a particularly expensive change: swapping to a Samsung 960 EVO on the Falcon website will cost you around £30.

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.
