This is my 512GB Samsung Evo plus mSD card on a USB3 reader:
At QD1 4K, reads are 1/4 and writes are 1/43 versus a mediocre SATA SSD which explains why memory cards feels so slow despite their rated peak speeds.
From my testing, actual write speeds in all categories for USB sticks/cards can...
NVME or not, SSD marketing has always been sleazy by putting technically true but practically worthless speeds at high queue depth numbers.
4K reads at QD1 is by far the most important metric and even good NVME drives struggle to break 70MB/s.
It wouldn't matter. On the most relevant real world metric of QD1 4K reads, consumer NVMe SSDs tops out at around 70MB/s, which is not even remotely close to saturating a PCIE 2.0 1x link let alone 2x.
SSDs like rest of PC hardware is soooo boring now, I have so much cash to burn on this hobby yet I still can't justify buying any upgrade, even GPUs since the super GPU-intensive games are also such a snoozefest from a gameplay angle, not mention they are all scalped to oblivion.
The last...
IIRC, there was a cut plotline in ME2 about the overuse of mass relays creating dark matter disturbances which are causing some stars, and eventually all of them in the galaxy to burn out much faster than normal. Not sure how that's gonna work out narratively with reapers but its surely a lot...
Me too, just submitted mine to them this morning. Gameplay is thoroughly bland and uninteresting. Even if the story is good there's always Youtube for that.
CP2077 is probably the last preordered PC AAA game in my lifetime (the previous being Diablo 3 vanilla all the way back to 2012), I thought it would be the last beacon of hope in the age of AAA pretty snoozefests.
IMO. Intel has been awesome at the budget side of things with the 10400/10400F, even when capped at B460/DDR4-2666. I guess everyone forgot about Intel when they are so fixated on Zen 3.
I don't think I ever a Zen 3 part in the flesh at tech stores here since release in Singapore. Supply is so low that people are buying Zen 2 parts now for their new PCs. For me, I'll wait for next-gen Intel before deciding on the next CPU upgrade.
At the current state all the DLSS modes looks like a smeared mess versus native in my eyes at least for 1440p, mirrors where you can see your own reflection being a particularly bad offender on DLSS. I rather have native w/o RT over RT ultra + DLSS for around the same fps.
Also I got to the end...
