I intend to buy an HDD. If I install games like Fortnite or Ark: Survival Evolved, will these games run smoothly or laggs and jerks?
It has nothing to do with it
With a SSD the game loads faster, slower with an HDD
while playing processor and graphics card are more important
I would be surprised if that went well. Ranking
SSD
fast HD
slow HD
ext. HD
Note: If the whole game loads into RAM, only the initial load will slow down. Once inside, the disc does not matter much anymore.
The type of storage medium has nothing to do with gambling at all, the only one where SSD brings more are the loading times on the loading screens.
Look at it. How is the hard drive connected to the PC? USB 2.0? USB 3.0?
Greeting Than
Have the degree corrected in my answer. Is your comment correct.
Okay thanks
External HDD, USB 3.0
So suppose a game normally loads 2 minutes on ner ssd, how long would it be on ner external HD?
So I have also connected. Most games work pretty well. It then depends on the rest of your PC.
Okay, thank you! So it just loads a little bit longer?
Yes. But not that it would be annoying. If it loads forever, that's more because the game was not programmed very well.
Alright, thanks for the exact descriptions.
Achso and I have one more question: Does the game automatically load into RAM?
Are the programmers to blame now because the game loads slower on an external disk, than on the internal?
But he wants to use an external HDD with USB…
Is not that about the same? I do not know anything about that
No. It's clear that the game is slower. But if it's badly programmed, it runs slowly, no matter where it's installed. At Fallout 4, for example.
No USB is a bottleneck… Via USB you can't transfer as fast as with SATA
Yes, but then nothing has to do with the external disk?
Yes, but the games are still as fluid as a normal hard drive, right?
Liquid yes, unless it needs to reload data… I do not think that the whole game is in RAM… Is usually not synonymous…
No not true. But that's the way it is in conversations, you often digress.
