BF 1 studdering HDD 5400 ?
Hello guys,
I ve bought a new PC specs
Ryzen 1300x
Nvidia 1060ti 3Gb
8gb DDR 4 2666mhz
2 HDD
⚽ C: only 5400rpm SATA 2 where is Windows 10 pro instaled (Legit ) (1tb)
🏈 D: 7200rpm SATA 3 where i have installed Battlefield 1 (1tb)
When i heard that HDD is reading something that scrathing noise i get studdering in game. ( FPS drops from 60 to 28 etc.)
Another funny thing is that even thought i ve instaled game on HDD 🏈. I ve got usage from HDD ⚽ 100% when i am playing the game. Even thought it is instaled on different HDD.
What i should do ? Should i ve instaled Windows on disk 🏈. Will it have impact on performance ?
Is 5400RPM bottleneck in gaming with my PC?
I am really shocked that i ve got more usage from HDD where the game is not instaled like from the other HDD where the game is instaled? Does it have to go via/from System disk when i am playing ?
Also when i have installed TitanFall 2 on HDD ⚽. I ve had hdd usage 100% almost at all time and i think it also harm my performance.
btw i am using avast antivirus free edition
Thank you for your answers.
Hey @krowkaSvK,
thanks for sharing your experience there. I personally would install the OS to the SSD if available or in this case, the faster drive. The games I play more often would go on the faster HDD and the stuff I rarely need on the slower one. If things change, you can always adjust your disk usage and swap files.
Have a great weekend, enjoy the game!
