Im not sure this is true. Looking at the graph, the 970 outperforms the optane for sequential reads whereas the optane outperforms in the 4k random read/write range. So, it would seem that cases which are more sequential than random which include watching/streaming video/assets would run faster on the 970. So video game enthusiasts would still prefer the 970. If you're running a database, that 4k random read rate would seem to boost performance by quite a margin. Or am I missing something?
