My Medion laptop runs badly in compute-intensive processes. I can surf the Internet, Office, do this, but if I play an open world game (Forza, Fortnite etc. Then it gets difficult or the Fps are low.
I have 8 Gb Ram and ne Intel HD graphics card (just do not know exactly which) and a Pentium processor (2.16 ghz).
My question: Is it worthwhile to install an SSD? Or. Does the processor store the rest on the hard disk when overloaded, just as RAM does?
The task manager shows always 100% load. A new processor is too expensive anyway. The SSDs are just cheap.
Of course, an SSD does not increase the computing power. But the system performance, ie load times, is already significantly improved.
If the APU is too slow, the SSD will not help. But rebuilding Windows could reduce CPU usage.
Say for the Fps brings in the case little to nothing?
An SSD does not affect FPS that is only in rare cases the case when games compelling need a ssd that is not the case here but for work I would recommend you a ssd
Right. On the other hand, a 240GB SSD currently costs just 24.90 euro, so if you have that in memory, you could make it from the laptop even a decent system for office applications.
If you want to gamble, you are best advised with a tower PC.
Yes, it is always worth replacing an HDD with an SSD.
The PC responds more agile, because it can be started and recharged faster.
But remember, if you have low memory and the PC needs to swap out memory, then the durability of an SSD is degraded. Therefore, if necessary, you should also upgrade your main memory. From 8 GB of RAM, the virtual memory can often be switched off.
However, the FPS performance will not increase because a CPU performs calculations, an SSD is just a memory, so you can't outsource calculations.
Yes, an SSD is worth it, the overall pace is just increasing, startup, shutdown and start and close programs.
No, compute-intensive applications, of course, do not benefit from an SSD. Of course, the memory can store data in a swap file on the hard disk, but how should processes of a computational core be stored on a data memory? That's completely pointless… A hard drive can't charge anything, that's a data store.
