Introduction Lexar is well known for its memory components, including memory cards, USB flash drives, portable drives, card readers, RAM, and SSDs. We’ve evaluated two Lexar SSDs, the Lexar Professional NM800 Pro SSD is geared for professionals, and professional applications and we’ve also...

I don't want to put words into their mouths, so take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt - Allegedly, I believe NVIDIA thought they could control the production and supply and quality of components, and in a perfect world, they'd be right, if the components are of sufficient quality, then...

R.E. the 12VHPWR melting issue, it is quite clearly a problem with the inherent design of the cable and plug, pushing that much power, with narrow margin of error and tolerances, with wires that are smaller and closer together, it's a design issue, and PCIe SIG should have never qualified the...

Why is so much weight and importance put on a single German retailer for sales numbers? Are they really that big? Obviously only in Germany no?

All Good Things...

Beyond security updates, bug fixes, wear leveling optimization, and controller or protocol optimizations, firmware updates can also just flat-out improve performance in some areas. For example, I've had this Teamgroup 4TB MP34 SSD on my primary system, as my primary drive for about 9 months...

I wish I kept at least one 1080 Ti and special cards like it down the line, instead of giving them all back to Kyle. I shoulda kept at least one, regret that, I'd love to re-test one, and other GPUs that were special or iconic, in 2024.

Good deal Still finishing Zero Dawn lawl I'll get to the game in a month or so, will be even more polished then. I wish it had Ray Tracing though, just a personal preference.

Good idea, I have downloaded our copy of UL Procyon, and they have indeed updated it with the two latest AI benchmark tools now, which weren't there before. I checked it out, it appears that one of the benchmarks is for GPU and the other lets you switch and test between GPU and CPU. It looks...

I mean, I can say a lot about Disco, but I'm still going to watch Season 5 anyway, I've seen each season, so why not I guess. I'm trying to decide if I should watch it each week, or just wait till the end, then binge it.

History has always confirmed that the mantra of "we'll never need xxx that fast or that much" has always been proven false over time for computer hardware. Eventually, I'm sure there will be advantages, and it will become the minimum, not the average or maximum desired performance. It is...

In the review, I stated: "It’s faster than the MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO FROZR by 14% on read performance and is about even on write performance." Therefore, it's faster in read performance, and the write performance is about even. In Horizon Forbidden West I am timing the click of the Play button...

Introduction The speed of PCI Gen5 NVMe SSDs marches on, and we’ve got one of the newer breeds of SSDs today that tops out at 14GB/s (14,000MB/s) sequential read speeds, and 12GB/s (12,000MB/s) sequential write speeds. MSI is launching a new Gen5 SSD onto the market, this one sits above the...

Of course they can, but you'll pay for it, it's not really cost effective for large capacity MLC drives, and SLC would be outrageous

Meh, ReShade is not real Ray Tracing

Introduction We have reviewed the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, and now it is time to overclock the new video card and see what it can deliver in gameplay performance when pushed to the max. We will evaluate it at 4K, with Ray Tracing, and DLSS Upscaling. If you are not familiar with the...

Most Gen5 M.2 capable slots are in the top one anyway since they need access to direct CPU PCIe lanes.

I haven't watched the videos myself yet, but in my own testing, AMD is a lot faster. I do wish the game had Ray Tracing in some form.

Introduction At CES 2024, NVIDIA announced its SUPER series refresh for the GeForce RTX 40 series GPUs. The new SUPER series is comprised of the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, and the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER. We’ve recently reviewed the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER and GeForce RTX...

It does use Direct Storage, I am going to figure out a way I hope to integrate it into SSD game load performance testing.
