My spec:
Windows 7 ultimate x64
AMD Radeon r9 390x 8GB
8GB ram (DDR 4 i think)
AMD FX 8350 8 core processor 4.0GHz
Acer K242HQKbmjdp (24 inch) 4K2K LED Backlit IPS Monitor
Im not entirely sure about my hard drive but i know its nothing special as it was something i had to cut corners with when making the build initially and i never got round to upgrading it, so all i know that its a standard 1tb Hard drive. (Hope that helps)
My issue specifically is frame rate drops in generally open world games such as Skyrim or Fallout, though admittedly i am running them with ultra settings and graphics mods, but my specs should be able to handle that right? The issue doesnt seem to occur in games that have a preloaded level such as rainbow six siege. This leads me to believe it could be something to do with having a slow hard drive that can't transfer data fast enough for the game to load the area im looking at. Though im not an expert and that could be completely wrong. Would it be worth getting an SSD and to store some of my open world games on there to reduce the frame rate drop when looking in certain directions? Its not consistently low frames either its just every 20 seconds or so i get a drop.
Any answers are really appreciated
