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...

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.
