SSD for gaming

[Arwanell]

i have 128GB ssd, so I could get 1-2 games on it

but..

i know that the loading times will be much faster, but what about FPS? will they increase with SSD?

You wont see FPS increase due to storage not having anything to do with FPS, you will notice less tearing and issues along those lines and load screens will be WAY faster,

SSD will have 0 impact on actual performance

Most common issues fixed by ssd from hdd is rendering issues due to slow load times (such as textures popping in)

ssd does not really effect the fps at all...

Depends on how the game handles loading, if it's loading a lot in real time then a SSD will prevent frame jitters or drops.

Accept the fact that an SSD doesn't incease FPS prob like 0.0000000000000000000001 but nothing that gives you a edge

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a good example of what I'm talking about; walking around the overworld in densely populated areas may cause a drop in frames or jitters on a slow, mechanical drive as the game pulls a lot of resources into the world in bulk.

Do you even know what tearing is?

For FPS, it really depends on the game. 2 examples of games that benefit from SSD speeds are Skyrim and Minecraft.

 

Skyrim loads quite a few things on-the-fly from storage, an SSD greatly speeds up the process.

 

Minecraft is constantly reading from disk when loading the world and chunks, FPS commonly drops when loading chunks, an SSD can reduce the effect chunk loading has on FPS.

 

Most games usually only benefit when it comes to loading times, very few actually get better FPS on an SSD.

No. But Starting, loading, anything that needs disk writing/reading will be faster.
