SSD or HDD

I sta around thinking over this little thing. Will my game perform any better, and if so how much will the game performance increase if i install BNG on my SSD instead of my HDD?

 

I don't know but you can give it a try if you have A DDR3 though that would be faster

 

Game will be loading faster, but that's it.

 

A solid state drive will be way faster, not only for BeamNG, also in general. It's best to install the OS on the SSD and programs on the HDD, especially if the SSD hasn't got much capacity. The SSD runs out of space quickly because windows uses the free space for updates, well, not ALL of it but it's best to leave it just for the OS. Not that there is going to be LOTS of difference

 

They are rather cheap now, but I'm not buying one until my HDD fails, I don't care if it takes a few more seconds to load, I can live with that.

 

I'm pretty sure you wont see a game performance increase, once the game has loaded and stored in RAM the game will run no differently than if it were on a HDD or SSD. Potentially the textures will load faster and the game will boot faster, but the performance (FPS) shouldn't change. (Textures may take longer to load n a HDD due to the graphics card loading textures as they are needed upon game useage, though i'm not sure how much of it is dow to RAM; i don't think textures get loaded into RAM to allow for faster performance, but instead sit in the VRAM of the graphics card. I could be completely wrong, so please be weary of that).

 

Someone keeps attributing the stuttering errors a few users are experiencing to a HDD, sadly for them task manager disproves that the hard drive is even being utilised and I do not experience the issue on a machine solely fitted with a HDD (my desktop, my laptop however has an SSD and HDD in RAID so I wont count that)

 

SSD makes all the difference with my OS, from power on to desktop averages about 8 seconds, (including password input). No difference whatsoever between HDD and SSD when firing up
and running Beamng.

 

Its the texture loading that i have a hard time with. Because my computer stands downloading things to my HDD 24/7 in the background at about 6 mb/s

Its the boot that bothers me, and i got approximately 70-100+ fps at normal gameplay I was out after faster boot and loading of files, fps is very good!

 

I use an SSD on my laptop, and do not regret it! Everything seems faster. I can start MS Word in about 0.1 seconds! It's pretty great
