Clear this thing that I have to buy 2TB SSD or i can use 128 or 250gb ssd for windows with 1TB HDD for game storage? Will the game load faster or HDD would increase the load time?

[@lz8696]

What read and write speed do you recommend for a SSD to play without stuttering?

[@L34NDR063O]

In some games like Cyberpunk 2077 when running on HDD, NPCs and vehicles were not generated when driving at high speed leaving the city completely empty. Running now on the SSD all NPC's and vehicles are generated normally.

[@AncientGameplays]

Yeah, thats called streaming delay, the devs made ir that way so you don't have texture streaming

[@brzimtrco6142]

I never though that there is a difference between HDD and SSD after loading a game, but after playing spider-man remastered on my NVMe with ZERO hiccups and stuttering I believe that HDD are slowly getting obsolete.

[@AncientGameplays]

They are. Hdds are basically store only nowadays

You know I wish there was a certification for games whether or not they're optimized for HDD. Some newer titles run fine on HDD, and some just simply don't. It all is dependent on what the developers test systems looked like, and what they decided to optimize they games for.

More cpu and gpu cache - less stutter. Manufacturers are putting less cache in the cheaper products so that consumers continue to feel like they need more after buying them. An effective strategy is to buy last gen's higher end product instead.

[@DerXXLMario]

This video comes just in time as I need a new hard drive for my pc. My 1tb hdd died recently so I'm stuck on my 256GB ssd which is definitely too little. I always thought only the loading time would be shorter but this stuttering does make me think I should better save for an ssd. Thx for posting as nobody else has done such a good comparison yet.

Question: do faster drives have better 1% lows? E.g. I'm using a 1TB KC3000 (7000/6000 mbps) as my main drive, but I have tons of games on a 1TB A2000 (2200/2000 mbps). Load time differences are almost non-existent, but could there be a difference in 1% lows?

[@MrMeanh]

I would say no, this since the small random read/writes (that games mostly "uses" for asset streaming and what is impacting the lows in most of these cases) isn't much better/faster on the fastest Nvme's compared to regular Sata SSD's.

[@AncientGameplays]

Most likely not, it could be true to a certain extend IF (and only if) the SSD was being the bottleneck as it happened on the HDDs

[@AncientGameplays]

As for the radon red/writes i have to disagree, a decent NVME has quite higher randoms then a sata nvme, not even comparable

[@wakingfromslumber9555]

Yeah my 8 year old sata ssd was the cause of micro stuttering and when I put my OS as well and some games on to the NVME the random micro stutters faded away. These micro stutters would occur when too many things such as explosions were happening at once. So even with a Sata SSD the difference is noticeable.

[@AncientGameplays]

Not really, i believe your sata ssd is just in the limit of its life

[@BravenTyler]

Question, I'm getting an error trying to install newest optional drivers. Even after DDU, it's still giving me this error.

[@freewrite2733]

Not only that. I don't think some people are even aware of this, as I wasn't for awhile. If your internet is fast but you're using an HDD to download games off of steam, your HDD can actually be bottlenecking your download. Your CPU can as well, but if you still have an HDD lingering around .. your download will stop/start a lot. Whereas on my SSD it's a constant stream of data. I will only download smaller games on my HDD.

[@AncientGameplays]

Exactly. I have a 1gbps internet and hdds will usually "bottleneck" the download, but that's normal

[@UrielVentris1984]

thats not entirely correct. i use ssds and hdds the download rate is the same its dependent onley upon your internet speed, i used sata ssds exlcusively and nvme and never noticed an increase or decrease using ether for downloading from the internet.

I short stroke mechanical disks used for games, 66% is usually ok, then format to ntfs with a 64kb allocation unit size, disable indexing and never have issues this way. btw, Fabio your hair is super long my friend, looks awesome!

The 1st game I played that put my HDD to scream and became a stutter fest was Immortals Fenyx Rising, from Ubisoft, moved the game to a NVMe SSD, and suddenly, smooth as butter, and that behaviour is becoming more and more commom, FF7 Remake, Spider Man Remastered, even CoD Warzone runs way better in a SSD

Is there any difference between nvme and SATA SSDs? Like stutter and load time?

[@AncientGameplays]

Not much, but may be there in some games

[@stealthhunter6998]

I have 3 questions: 1. PCIe 5 SSDs dont do absolutely anything for load time basically (margin of error difference really to PCIe 4) but does it improve smoothness and eliminate or midigate stutters in UE5 games notorious for the issue or a game like dead space remake? 2. Does having OS on a seperate SSD to the games matter? 3. Does having games on an SSD connected to a chipset PCIe lane rather than a CPU PCIe lane matter (connected to question 2 because having 2 seperate SSDs most of the time means one has to go on the chipset m.2 slot). Furthermore is having the OS on the chipset lanes and games ssd on the cpu lane a stupid idea to avoid an issue or would u be causing one?

[@jamesFX3]

@@AncientGameplays Not exactly, Really depends on what you want to do with it since you can allocate as much or as little ram as you like as ramcache (L1 cache). You can Also do what I did with Primo cache and use both L1 to ram plus L2 cache to a spare ssd, you can set it to Flush L1 cache once/if allocated ram is full to L2 cache on the spare ssd (need to set a dedicated partition for Primo cache L2 Storage) It was pretty cost effective and hassle free process overall since I didn't have to change anything in my system other than add an extra ssd (smallest fastest and cheapest ssd I could find) and dedicate it as L2 storage drive and set the individual Read/Write cache space all to 100% read which ment that my hdd would read files like it's on an ssd but writes files like an hdd. which is slow I know, especially during installs but write speeds doesn't really affect games as much as read speeds plus it reduces stress on the spare ssd that has l2 storage drive. The only thing I would caution anyone from using l2 cache is that there is a small possibilty of data corruption with defffered write (setting you need enabled to speedup caching, also contains the flush L1 cache to L2 cache option) Especially during sudden power outage and you don't have a UPS, There's also the fact that the effects on loading aren't emediate (on L2 cache) on first run of the application/games you have cached, it'll only take effect after the second time you load up that app and primocache has it saved in L2 storage. Frm time to time I would also pause the cache task when I'm installing something on the hdd to reduce unneeded stress on the spare ssd with the L2 storage on it, and in some cases I would even delete the cache task completely if I'm installing something really big (100gb+ for GTA5) cause read and write activity is really high during installation and depending on how much L2 storage you have it can get filled up fast during installion (Not really a problem if you only have L1 caching enabled in PrimoCache and have lots of ram) so it's something to keep in mind when using PrimoCache.

Hi, i need help. I have a rtx 3050 and i5-12500. Idk why but when i have something lower than 80 fps in games my screen feels laggy i dont know how to explain it. Tried turning my g sync or v sync but it doesnt look like it helped. I have 27' 1920x1080 monitor so i hope it isnt my monitor fault. I also have microstuttering on hdd disk of course but every game i play will have sometimes microstuttering when something appears like mission info or items i picked. Hope you can help with my problem beacuse ive been having this for the time i build this pc and started to play more gpu using games.

I recently reinstalled Skyrim on my newest system that has Gen 4 NVMe (Max Read 7415 MBps, Max Write 6800 MBps), it loads so fast that I don't even have time to read the load screen tips. So I guess that HDDs do have the benefit of being slow enough to allow you read load screen tips. lol Edit: I bought my first SSD back in 2012, was like $180 for 240GB. That was when they were still SATA, way before NVMe, but even still it made a huge difference coming from a 7200rpm HDD. The newest NVMe SSD's are leagues faster.

Another thing pls make a video about the loading and fps diffrerence in sata ssd's vs NVME's.

[@AncientGameplays]

the difference there would be zero apart from a small difference in load times

[@RenatoC.g]

Could you make a comparison of ssd sata to ssd m.2 nvme?

[@AncientGameplays]

Wont notice much difference

Well that was a real eye opener Fabio. I've been experimenting with _PrimoCache_ myself lately. Also set it up on a couple of friends rigs. It's very impressive. I'm using a 340GB partition on my system SSD for the cache. I'm also, going to experiment with _Process Lasso_ I reckon. Regards from Oz 🇦🇺👍

To tendo mts stutterings em alguns jogos, sera q é por conta do hd? Nao está fragmentado, uso o ssd só para o windows, alguns jogos rodam sem problema, mas resident evil 7 em especifico, anda tendo muitos stutterings no hd, ja testei no ssd e parecia ter resolvido, como isso é possivel? Testei o resident evil 7 em diferentes Hds, em diferentes pcs, e o stuttrring estava presente, sendo que quando eu jogava re7 no Ps4, com um hd ainda mais lento, nao havia stutterings, e tbm ja coloquei osgraficos no minimo e nao mudou nada

[@AncientGameplays]

Provavelmente é sim

[@Fb-pl7zq]

Hello. Until I upgrade the new system, I paired the AMD fx 6300 processor and the rx 6400 graphics card. I have an hdd and 8gb ddr3 1333mhz ram in my system and it stutters occasionally in games. Do you think if I buy an ssd, will this problem be fixed, at least for games that require 5 gb ram.If I add another 8gb ram, will the stutter go away in all games?GPU usage varies between 40% 60% 70% 80% depending on the game. Usually there is a problem in open world car racing games, open world thanks.

[@AncientGameplays]

My man, you have the worst possible situation. BIG cpu bottleneck with a HUGE ram bottleneck. On top of that, that cpu only support pcie3, so the card performs even worse...

[@Fb-pl7zq]

@@AncientGameplays Thank you for your reply. I know my cpu is bottlenecking my gpu.I'm trying to reduce this by making the cpu oc to 4.2ghz.But this problem happens even with old gpu hd7750 which is not bottleneck.I have this problem even in old games in games where 1gb 3gb 5gb ram is enough.I don't know if my problem will be fixed by adding ssd and +8gb ram. I also suspect my psu. It gives low voltage from 3.3v 12v and 5v channels.

@@AncientGameplays I'm going to buy a ryzen 5 5500, 500gb nvm2 ssd and 16gb ddr4 3200mhz ram soon will this solve the whole problem? Should I replace the power supply if the problem persists? Thanks

Honestly could not notice. Only thing I saw was the spikes, then yes maybe something not right. But load times are a pain.

[@AncientGameplays]

You couldnt notice it? Severe stutters? They can be noticed even on video, and when going to gameplay they're a pain in the ass

[@marcasswellbmd6922]

LOL, I don't miss the Old days of Hard Drives..

[@xXStatiXx]

Great vid, i really tried to play Jedi fallen for Years, from a rx 570 to a rx 6600 xt but the stutters are a mess and a big pain in the Eyes in both of them so can't do anything else than skip that awesome game :,(

[@raycruit]

It was playable for me with rx 6650 xt 22.5.1 drivers on ssd, stutters existed but it wasn’t gamebreaking (unlike the gameplay in this video). Fabio’s setup is not ideal for all games because he is on optional drivers

[@AncientGameplays]

that's why I said that if you wanted to play this game on RX 6000 series you would need to go for 22.5.1 drivers and use an SSD :D

[@raycruit]

@@AncientGameplays yea, just wanted to tell him so he give it a second try, it was a great game i really enjoyed it

Hey man this hdd is not good enough, can you try WD Black vs SSD or WD Gold that would be nice to watch 😁

[@AncientGameplays]

Well the wd black is barely faster than this. This HDD is GOOD. 2tb, plenty of buffer and 7200rpm 💪

[@kerroummokhtar2934]

how about ssd sata vs hdd raid 0

[@AncientGameplays]

You can raid on a ssd as well. That depends on the hdds as well, but should be better, not as good as the ssd though

[@DhalonTech]

What if I have SSD + HDD in my system? In every system I had I always had microstutters. Is it caused by the HDD? How to find the cause?

[@mielquizon784]

in my country many people not buy SSD in their budget build because they think it only help the loading times sometimes they buy a gaming pc with rtx cards that have 2tb Hdd rather have 1tb ssd they not know SSD helps alot on application and boot up it really help if you always disconnected on game so you can reconnect Quickly hahah

[@AncientGameplays]

That's harsh to hearlol

[@bowriing]

Even though a SATA SSD is slower than a M.2 SSD, can the M.2 cause more stutters given the fact that is using GPU/PCIE Lanes can it cause interference leading to these stutters?

[@MrTHORN74]

If your mobo is layed out correctly then you shouldn't have pcie lanes crosstalk. But the throughput of nvme should kill a sata SSD. I just don't think any game is really going to take advantage of that higher throughput yet.

[@bowriing]

@@MrTHORN74 I get you everything is in it's correct place I was just wondering although it has higher speeds could it be less table because of the higher frequencies

[@MrTHORN74]

@@bowriing the mobo manufacturers test for that kind of interference and design the board in such a way that it should not happen. That part of why they are getting more expensive, it's getting harder to do without getting parts interfering. As speed goes up the path traces need to get shorter to maintain the faster speeds.

[@bowriing]

@@MrTHORN74 okay thankyou so either will have no effect on stuttering in games?

[@AncientGameplays]

Nah, unless you have some issue there

[@AintPopular]

does running ssd at half speed cause microstutter? mines run at 300mb rather than 560mb and its causing micro stutter

[@AncientGameplays]

Nah, thats not it. The ssd never runs at full speed in all cases. Also, you have a sata3 ssd which is slower than a nvme one

QUESTION ABOUT THIS WITH SSD VS HDD and sata ssd for gaming??? Sadly i suck at things w hardware and this n dont really know what is needed in speeds to get a good gaming time(ssd for example is great for games but how about SATA SSD?) sata vs external ssd speeds? i have only sata left for a ssd or hdd in my pc is there anything better w sata vs external ssd and if it is should i upgrade my pc w this slower SATA instead of getting a bigger external ssd in the future? i know SATA ssd is much slower,but so long as it runs my games with no issues i dont really care(its the onlything i use this pc for anyway) SATA SSd vs external SSd?? what is best for gaming External ssd(usb3.1 1050mb/s read/1000mb/s write accordingly to the box my ext.SSD was in at purchase"So not fastest or slowest,just ok budget version kingston xs1000 2tb)... hope i could explaine myself what i need drives for(only gaming) and i dont know how a SATA SSD are for just gaming(i only used external and internal ssd before) But is it just about as good for gaming or is it just to slow in 2024 (or is the externals slower or what exactly??) Sorry for this mess called my mind...mmm Thanks 4 all+answer about some things i didnt know..

[@oOTheMastaOo240]

When playing cod I noticed the stuttering was really bad when I first enter a match and sometimes it stutters every 5 seconds. Hoping that moving to a ssd fixes this
