Copy speed measured by DiskBench for a 40GB file
Next, I moved on to a couple of gaming tests. The first was the 3DMark Storage Benchmark , which measures how quickly games can load graphics assets and levels from an SSD. With PCIe 5.0, games should load significantly faster, meaning you’ll spend less time waiting for them to launch or for new levels to load. The CORSAIR MP700 PRO showed that PCIe 5.0 is about 9% faster than PCIe 4.0. That’s a speed boost, which is great news for gamers!
Not only does this reduce the time spent looking at boring finland telegram data loading screens, but it also helps games run more smoothly, as the higher data transfer speeds of the PCIe 5.0 SSD mean that games can access their assets and textures faster. This is likely to be more noticeable in open-world games with large levels, as well as when using higher resolutions and high-quality graphics.
In the Assassin's Creed Mirage benchmark , the results show little difference between using a PCIe 5.0 SSD and a PCIe 4.0 SSD. At 4K resolution, I had exactly the same frame rates with PCIe 5.0. Surprisingly, I'd say I got slightly fewer frames per second at 1440p with PCIe 5 than with PCIe 4 by 1.4%. However, these changes are negligible in practical gaming scenarios, indicating that the storage interface has minimal impact on performance for this game at any resolution.
