RodBorza Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Hello all, Recently I came across a good offer for a 60 GB Solid State Drive Hard Disk Drive, a.k.a., SSD HDD and I 'm wondering if it will help to improve frame rates and mainly, FRAPS recording. I read elsewhere that it does not help making FRAPS record at higher fps rates, only on lowering loading times. So, I would like to know if you already own it and if it makes any difference at all. After all, the offer is good but the SSD drive is not exactly cheap. Thanks! 1 This is an amazing sim! 'Nuff said!:pilotfly: YouTube: SloppyDog
HiJack Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Depends on the SSD produser. I got OCZ Vertex 2 and that helped om my rig but I've heard voices here complaining on their SSD installations. Search this forum for SSD is my best recomendation. (HJ)
cichlidfan Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Agreed, my SSD definately makes a difference but I have heard of some with issues as well. I also built the machine clean on the SSD. 1 ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero, i7-6700K, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133, Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB, Samsung EVO 250GB & 500GB SSD, 2TB Caviar Black, Zotac GTX 1080 AMP!

Pilotasso Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 It would help but your machine is so old that you will still botlenecked by the host PC. You might as well spend on a newer cheap machine instead. Whats your budget? .
RodBorza Posted October 28, 2011 Author Posted October 28, 2011 Pilotasso, Thanks for your help, but don't bother. Reading about SSD's on the internet, I found that it's prefereable to change my entire machine changed first than spending money on a SSD. The performance won't be much better owith only the new drive, as you said, there are some bottlenecks in the system that won't allow a big jump on perfomance. This is an amazing sim!
