Jamz 253 Posted January 12, 2014 I'll be putting DayZ on a SSD hybrid drive this week, I wonder if this will have any effect on the smoothness of how it runs? Think I'll check my settings too after reading this thread.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mos1ey 6301 Posted January 12, 2014 I think thats why it tells me here that if I want to delete bigger amounts of files on my SSD, I should use the safe erase in the "Magician" program No, "safe erase" sounds more like it's for ensuring that data is deleted completely and not recoverable.

quobble 175 Posted January 12, 2014 hm...but srsly, i dont really believe that having a game on an ssd is killing it. many people use ssd for rendering videos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beelzebossi@hotmail.com 28 Posted January 12, 2014 With SSD you get overall smoother gameplay, it doesn't really give that much more fps but: - Textures will load faster so less texture popping- Less stuttering when entering new area- Even faster load times- Very smooth video recording if you are recording to other fast HDD (example. Barracuda 180 mb/s write speed) Also playing from SSD doesn't kill it, because game loads mostly data not write new data. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terminal_boy 860 Posted January 12, 2014 Yeah I wont be installing DayZ SA onto my SSD, the thought of all the read/writes to the drive...frankly scares me....Eh?It's what they're designed to do. Current generation of SSDs will outlive your HDD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mos1ey 6301 Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Eh?It's what they're designed to do. Current generation of SSDs will outlive your HDD. I doubt that. I've got a HDD that I've had in my various systems for 6 or 7 years now and it still runs flawlessly. I still don't trust SSDs and would recommend minimising writes and deletes to anyone that owns one. Edited January 12, 2014 by Mos1ey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deebz1234 243 Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) the load times are where its at with SSD...i only play 2 games on the SSD and its well worth it. everyone who listed an i5/i7 with low ghz (ie 2-3ghz), this is where your limit is. Specially you folks with fancy gtx 660+ get your rigs properly setup, get some basic basic over clocking and you will see much much more consistency from your FPS. i7 930 with a gtx 570 and have much more consistent fps always above 30 in cities and maxing about 55-60never any massive dips when in elektro with high pop. SA will run better on 4.5 ghz and a gtx 460 than an i7 2ghz with a gtx 660 Edited January 12, 2014 by deebz1234 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
