Hey guys, ive just been reading alot about pagefiles, i do get the basic idea but im just seeing alot of conflicting opinions about SSD's and Gaming and the Pagefile
Alot of people seem to think that not only will a pagefile effect an SSD's life span ( appearently not so much with mine the 850 Evo ) but it also effects gaming, people are saying that when a game starts pushing data to the pagefile by accident, that it can cause performance issues
And that some games, will use the pagefile even when they dont need to. its the OS making it happen
so all my friends say to disable it, but yeah idk
So my system
1TB HDD for data/games
240GB 850 Evo SSD ( i keep tough games like AC Unity here and the OS )
8GB G.Skill Ripjaw-X DDR3 1333Mhz RAM
so as you see, i have plenty of RAM
So my question is, what would you guys advise to do about the pagefile. here's the opinions ive heard
- Turn it off
- Set it to a max of 512MB for Logs and Dumps
- Switch it to the 1TB HDD and make it large
What do you guys think and what have you experienced whilst gaming with pagefile interruption
