950 Pro vs 970 Pro Worth the upgrade ?

[Turtle Rig]

Hey guys Im just wondering if there is a real world performance increase from the 950 pro to a 970 pro .  I mean noticable, I don't care about benchmarks ya know.  If its noticabllly faster then I can get it and keep 950 for storage or sh*T I would need another asus m.2 adapter card lol,.

Not unless you're constantly comparing/timing every little thing.

LOL no,,,, well timing,,,, if windows is gonna boot faster then 7 seconds or games launch instantly.. apps launch in 0 seconds,,,,, ya,, you know better off getting a 2TB ssd and put my huge libraries in there, instead of the 2TB external

If you're using your PCIe SSD as a scratch disk for video/photo editing or as a cache, the upgrade from a 950 PRO to a 970 PRO is worth it because of the 970 PRO's hugely faster write speeds.

For day to day, games, and boot times, most people can't even tell SATA from NVMe.

NVMe is noticeable in very specific (mostly professional) workloads as mentioned above.

Your right man, cuz when I went from the 850 Pro to the 950 Pro I saw no difference lol.

Best to get a cheap 2TB SSD for my library and backup and what not.
