SSD Reads and Writes exceeding 20GB
Has anyone else noticed extreme spikes in the number of reads and writes made to their SSDs while playing Inquisition? I'm seeing ~20GB of writes and ~30GB for just a two hour play session. This is h...

in my experience with this game and it's meriad of issues,
i have recently started monitoring my system resources,
I turned off my pagefile completely, being that I have 32GB of ram in my system...
but get this... while playing the game (with no pagefile system active) the game is allocating upto 16GB to my page file,
and up to an equal ammount of ram.
my dual videocards each have 2GB vram (in crossfirex currently).... vram usage is telling me that the game is using 2673 MB / 2048MB on the first card....
I have an 8core cpu at 4Ghz, and it is pegged at 100% during splash and load screens.... and as high as 80% during gameplay.
I am trying to figure out why the game, firstly, is allocating anything to something that is not there.
and how it is allocating usage or space beyond what is physically there.
but with these issues, i can understand why I have such bad performance, stuttering, lag, and such.
I just want to know how and why it is happening.
my point is, (getting back to the original post) is that with the misallocation/usage, perhaps the pagefile is what you see as the large writes to your SSD?
Interesting, yes that could certainly be a big factor. Now I'm wondering whether Process Explorer takes writes to the pagefile into account or not... That would be a key distinction.
I do not have an ssd installed on my system,
however the read/write is not listed for/to HDD.
So (and this is only an educated guess at this point)
I would expect, that the read/write to the SSD is also not listed.
-edit-
however, in programs like MSI afterburner, you can graph the
pagefile usage, as well as ram usage. In my experience with this game,
even without an active pagefile on my system, the game is allocating
upto 16GB to the non existant page file... {I do not know if this is due to
file caching, shadow copying, or similar processes.}
which is why I am thinking along the lines of the SSD getting so many
large writes to it. which is of course a concern, being that SSDs
have a finite number of writes/writeovers in thier lifespan.
-side note- if using programs like MSI afterburner, and they have
something similar to RTSS (RivaTunerStatisticsServer) do not install it!
it, in-and-of-itself, is extremely cpu intensive.
instead, just use the OS included, desktop gadget for monitoring your cpu and ram usage.
