performance Strange Performance-Related Issue . . . ?

[Seven Velde]

Hello all,

 

I have SuperFetch (SysMain) disabled on my PC. I am running a Seagate 2TB HDD. Here are the Metrics for Disk usage. Is this Normal? I get pretty sub-par performance browsing the system, However, I get very good performance in ANY game I play. ie 115fps DOOM Eternal - 90fps Far Cry 5 - 80fps GTAV. Is this the effect of using an HDD instead of an SSD? my last PC had Windows installed to an SSD, with games loaded onto the HDD. That PC was MUCH snappier.

 

 

uh

 

 

anyway, Thanks in advance. I guess I just need to confirm if using an HDD for a boot drive actually makes that huge of a difference.

There's a huge difference between a decent SSD and a mechanical hard drive yes.

It'll feel as you wrote, snappier, when the OS runs off an SSD.

Your question doesn't make much sense. You are talking about system being snappier when using SSD, but games running better with HDD? What are you actually asking? Where the game is stored doesn't affect on fps. Only in load times.
