wayke: SSD can be had for less than the price of this game why no SSD
ast486: I built this computer with HDD in mind, so lots of ram.
Basically all the programs that are loaded load slow at first and then stay resident in memory till shutdown.
This makes it super fast to re-start say firefox or whatever if I need to.
Also just checked a little while ago because of another thread and a 1TB ssd is 139.99 here at minimum... they get really crazy price wise here.
I don't want to drop 140$ just to be a little faster.
Standard SSD 512gb for current games you're going to play and move them off once you've finished etc certain titles with Texture pop in and that as they read from the device few seconds just before will remove some stutter and increase frame times in certain instances.
Crucial MX500 500GB for $80ish CAD
You will notice the difference in browser load times also if you flipped the OS over to an SSD use the mechanical for storage.
