Will BF3 run better on my SSD?

[Ghutsell1]

i recently purchased BF3, it runs at 50fps on Ultra, but every time it auto saves when i'm playing campaign it drops to ~20fps.

currently i have the game installed on my Windows 8 storage space which consists of 5400rpm drives,

i am wondering if installing the game on my SSD would stop the frame drops?

PC Specs: Phenom II 965 @ 3.8ghz, 8gb 1866 ram, GTX 480 stock, OCZ Agility 4 128gb.

You should try install it to SSD. SSD might not give straight performance boost to fps, but it will reduce load times.

5400rpm drive might struggle to play the game and save data at the same time.

Some ppl have problems (fps drops, lags) with bf3 when they record with fraps to same drive as the game is installed.

I don't know that cpu so I can't say if it is part of the problem. Win8 can also mess up gaming performance.

When i swapped from my WD 2tb black to a vertex 2 for bf3 it decreased the load time alot, and about the quicksaving i think it reduced the duration of it autosaving ,but it still gives you an fps drop (not sure if the fps during the save improved or not, haven't played bf 3 sp in ages)

It probbably won't boost up your FPS, but will servearly reduce your loadtimes to start a game, and will reduce the times you need to wait till your game boots up.

Maybe, you can try(if you havent done this already)to update all your drivers to the latest.

If this won't work I don't know. And if its really unplayable, just tweak your settings down to high or maybe(If needed)even lower.

Thanks for all the help everyone! i moved it to the ssd and it helped but its still not totally fixed, atleast it's playable now though!

depends on the system if your hdd is a bottleneck to the rest of the system i dont see why not, personally in battlefield i geta 10-15fps increase from using my ssd but remember battlefield is a big game, btw i have a 3770k and a gtx 560 and i can max out battlefield just getting 35-40fps dipping below 30 sometimes
