HUGE difference in loading times on lower end machines.

Higher end machines, depends on the game file sizes.

 

BF3 went from about 30s 7200rpm HDD to sub 15s on my Sata2 SSD (<note SATA2)

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

loading times on game in a ssd and hdd ar the same :)

 

BF3 and BF4 Beta on SSD was faster...

 

Tested and proven.

 

There are plenty more videos on Youtube showing this.

 

 

 

SSD's users are always the first on the map in MP games.

it's part of the reason some servers add 30 second timers to the start of rounds, too allow everyone to load in.

I'll be having BF4 on SSD. In BF3 with big maps as Caspian and Firestorm my old load times were insanely long (~1min) and all settings low if that even matters. With new setup (i7,8gt,ssd) they are like a flash compared to what they were before. In BF4 beta I didn't notice anything other than it load much longer than BF3 did, but hey: BETA,.

It's closer to 50GB with Premium. DLC add around 5-6GB per DLC and then the patches... It really eats up my ssd

no they are not, bf4 takes forever on a HDD and on an ssd it flys. I am in game before everyone else in a server pretty much every time because my ssd setup is crazy fast.

Desktop -  i5 4670k, GTX 770, Maximums VI Hero, 2X Kingston Hyper X 3k in raid zero.

Laptop - Lenovo X230 Intel 535 480GB, 16GB Gskill memory, Classic Keyboard Mod, Triple USB 3.0 Express Card.
