Running Win11, 32 Gigs, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, Nvidia T600, 3 monitors. Resolution set to 100% (recommended). The pic shows one example of how website text is overwritten by the next line. This happens on maybe 10% of the web sites I visit. Unfortunately, some of the 10% are important to me. The...

Same thing. They are different. Looks like drivers fixed it. I had already checked Microsoft for latest drivers, but went to Asus anyway and got their latest. I’ve been running all Three of the drives for a couple of hours. Thanks much for your help

OK, I'm gonna give it a go. Just ordered this... Samsung 870 EVO 500 Gig

Benchmark Pic is attached. I am not certain of how to interpret it. The 6/20 benchmark shows it running faster than the 4/20, but the one I just ran also shows faster than the 4/20 but slower than the 6/20. Even if write has slowed down significantly as indicated between today and 6/20 would...
