Kingston IronKey Vault Privacy 50 16GB Review

Kingston quote a maximum read speed for the drive of 250MB/s. In our throughput test, we managed to get a bit more out of the drive at 315.14MB/s (16MB block). Writes peaked at 234.42MB/s (1MB block) before dropping back slightly to finish the test run at 232.04MB/s. Both of these write results are a good deal quicker than the official 180MB/s rating.

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.
