Possible HDD bottleneck?, whenever game saves fps drops and game stutters

RuffRidersEvo · May 21, 2017

Whenever the game i am playing saves or whenever i turn around or run the game drops to around 48-58 fps and then shoots back up to 60 can someone possibly tell me what's wrong

Sounds like it. I'd get an SSD, much faster than HDDs.

If your HDD is kinda full I would suggest doing a disk cleanup, try to get rid of any malware or useless files that could be slowing down your system.

What are some good SSD's on the market right now

Xenocidle · May 22, 2017

RuffRidersEvo :

The best on the market is definitely the Samsung 750 evo from a consumer standpoint, but if you're looking more budget oriented sandisk and kingston make some decent drives

How much storage do u recommend like 512GB, 250GB? will it honestly make a difference?

what are your system specs ? a game saving , should not cause FPS drops , game save files are minute.

which games are you playing when the problem happens and what resolution/graphical detail ?

RuffRidersEvo · May 22, 2017

adiec :

it happens in most of my games but particularly lately it's been outlast & outlast 2, BF1 and the walking dead a new frontier and the resolution is 1920 x 1080

i'm not sure this is actually going to help but it was something i stumbled upon whilst researching similar problems with the games you mentioned

yeah it's specifically not my CPU nor my GPU because i tried overclocking both, disabled v-sync in NVIDIA Control panel and the problem persisted, i'll try unparking my cpu cores to see if that works if not then it's most def the hdd

a mechanical HDD typically can write @ around 100mb/s so unless the HDD is faulty i struggle to see the issue being hdd based . i mean if it was faulty or going slow you would notice much longer boot times and possibly bsod along with messages about HDD about to suffer critical failure . perhaps you're suffering from other issues i am not aware of though .

Yes it is my HDD because my computer ever since i built it and that the computer has been mad slow and this may sound dumb but i forgot to partition the drive so that has to possibly be the culprit

you can not install windows without partitioning the HDD.
