Will amount of games installed slow down your PC ?​

Is your HDD partitioned(like a C drive and a D drive)

Edit: if it does.... And if the c partition is small.... Yes

I have about 110 games installed on my boot SSD and a second D drive so..I wouldnt be all that concerned 

[Dr_Curry_MONSTER]

Yeah on HDD's its pretty bad. - Personal Experience

an ssd has low performance loss... If OP has a HDD then it is a different scenario

th vast vast vast majority of those 110 are on the hdd

Just looked it up 99 are on my HDD 3 are on my SSD

[Indus Monk]

and the ssd is the boot drive?

[Zenedge]

it shouldnt, unless you put all your games in C

i have 1 drive ONLY for the os and other system files

and a separate drive for my games

[Nexxus]

and the ssd is the boot drive?

Yes

[Mooshi]

Unless you physically have little space left where it's taxing or if you somehow have lots of hidden stuff running at all times, shouldn't really be an issue no matter how many games you have installed.

[Indus Monk]

Yes

then you will experience 0% slowdown in boot times.... i guess regardless of how many files you store on them they (the ssd) will start slowing down due to AGE and not to MEMORY OCCUPIED... am i right?

[gamma032]

Yeah. I have 450 Steam games on my HDD and it seems to be fine.

You are assuming here, we dont know OPS situation.

Furthermore I haven't had an SSD that long and my system drive used to be a 1tb wd black that again I had a fuck ton of games on.

[Indus Monk]

must be a brand new HDD or is it a High performance HDD?

WD HDD's Barely degrade especially the Black One.... Now that you mention it.... My WD green is still figthing fit and did not slow down despite the C drive having just 20 Gigs of free space

[TheGamingBarrel]

One utterly massive HDD, or lots of small games?

Around two years old, 3/4 of a 2TB HDD dedicated to games. A fair amount of those are indie, though.

[LogicalDrm]

Not really. Only when drive gets close to being full (over 90%) there's some slowness. Mainly with HDDs but I've seen people having issues with SSDs too.
