Why PC gamers shouldn't waste money on a PCIe 5.0 SSD?
PCIe Gen 5 SSD is the latest technology in PC storage but it currently won't provide any big boosts to gaming performance.
The current latest generation, PCIe Gen 5 SSD, is the fastest iteration we’ve seen to date, promising blazingly quick theoretical speeds of up to 32GT/s (gigatransfers per second) for NMVe – that’s 100 percent faster than previous generation PCIe Gen 4 SSDs. It says PCIe Gen 5 could actually bestow speed benefits in gaming, namely to load times, level design, asset streaming and frames per second, but that the software designed to take advantage of that bandwidth – Microsoft’s DirectStorage API – has not being widely adopted by developers to make that happen. It’s a good point: I can only name a handful of games that use DirectStorage – Forspoken, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, and Diablo IV are some.
