Asustor Drivestor 4 (AS1104T) 4-bay NAS Review


Considering the processor and with just 1GB of memory, the built-in hardware encryption engine does a decent enough good job of negating the effects of dealing with encrypted data. With the discs built into a RAID 5 array, it dropped 26MB/s when writing encrypted data to the NAS and 22MB/s when reading the data back. It's a bit more efficient when dealing with a RAID 6 array, with a 17MB/s and 16MB/s drop in writes and reads respectively.

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.
