I noticed last night my ram had defaulted back to 1333mhz and a 15 latency. I set them back to 1600mhz and a 9 latency and saw an immediate improvement.

I’m running a 2TB 7200rpm hard drive and want to upgrade to an ssd I’m currently getting 96 read and write is 83.

The ssd I’m looking at is:

The 860 EVO performs at sequential read speeds up to 550 MB/s* with Intelligent TurboWrite technology, and sequential write speeds up to 520 MB/s. The TurboWrite buffer size* is upgraded from 12 GB to 78 GB.

Would this make a difference in game play?

Every disk related operations (read/write) will go from a couple of ms to virtually zero, which cumulatively (since it's never just one read/write) can represent a bunch of seconds

So yeah it's going to load faster, cached assets come to mind also

Also, if you use virtual memory to compensate lack of ram, then yeah shit's going to speed up also

But I believe it's only at load point, but don't take my words for it, investigate the underlying mechanism of your game/game engine to find out

I’ll test that out to see if it improves overall gameplay or load times.

You have a particular game in mind?

I posted a thread yesterday, something WWII but historically accurate I’m thinking of red orchestra 2 possibly after reading the comments.
