You can do a S.M.A.R.T test to check the health of your drive.

That's probably either or both:

1) HDD Burst Speed

2) Fragmented Drive.

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

Only yours, you don't shitpost on the same level that we can, mainly because this thread is finally dead and should be locked.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

Was moving a file from my desktop to my gta 5 folder and it starts fast and then cuts down.. Keep in mind this is in my 3tb HDD.. Why does it slow down?

What kind of hard drive do you have exactly?

 

I've just done the experiment with my own GTAV steam install directory and this was the result. 

 

Consider I've copied the data FROM 2 Samsung 840 EVO in Raid0 and written it TO my Raid 10 made of 4 3TB WD GREENS

 

Theoretically, my raid 10 should be about twice as fast as your single HDD and I got as slow as 110MB/s and as fast as 190MB/s, though the average were 150MB/s. 

 

Just like you, it started very fast, nearing the 1GB/s but that's pretty normal as it used your cache initially. 

 

I would recommend defragmenting your HDD just like @Moonzy mentionned. Of course, it all depends as well at how full your HDD is. The fuller it is, the slower it would technically be.

I'll run a speed test on a 500GB HDD I've just installed windows 10 on yesterday. Just give me a bit of time to defrag it beforehand and I'll post back here afterwards.

Okay, my 3.5inch HDD is pretty old so take the results with a grain of salt. 

 

Though I've also benched a brand new 2.5inch 1TB WD BLUE drive I got with a laptop I bought last month. That one was manufactured in June 2015. 

 

Gotta say, I'm quite surprised at the results of that WD blue. much better than I originally expected
