HDD or SSD

[The Oof Wizard]

ive played about 200 hrs on my gaming laptop and got a solid 40 frame experience on medium but have occasional frame drop and loads.

i just built a new gaming pc that has quite good specs and is perfect for me, now how much of a difference does the performence change fame wise and visual loads between installing PS2 on an SSD to a HHD.

Thanks in advance.

I don't have an SSD so I can't tell from my own experience but from what I have heard the performance on the map screen (loading the map/interface) increases quite a lot.

No idea about the rest of the game though

Installing on an SSD would make loading times faster (so you would "spawn" faster as the map wouldn't have to take so long to load). As far as FPS goes it will make little-to-no difference at all (Maybe ~1 fps better at best?) as all the Hard Drive is doing is loading the information for the game, then the gpu and cpu take over the processing of information.

TLDR: SDD improves loading times not fps, so if you have enough room install on SSD if not then HDD.

A SSD probably won't increase your FPS. However, it will reduce your loading times :)

The game will feel ALOT ''smoother''. There wont be as many models popping out from nowhere and loading times are amazing. Takes me about 20 secs total to go from desktop to ingame and ready to play on my SSD.

I'd just like to say, for no reason I can understand, I recently upgraded to an SSD and saw a massive fps boost. My rig was already quite impressive, i7 4790k, 16gb rip jaw ram, GTX 760, and on Ultra before I installed my SSD I was getting around 50+ fps. Now I'm getting 80+ fps on Ultra. I actually ran the game on high before for the higher fps but now that is virtually no difference (due to my monitors refresh rate only being 60hz).

To be clear though, I wasn't expecting this, I was just expecting faster load times (which definitely is the case) but Planetside 2 is probably one of the few games that would receive such a drastic FPS boost from an SSD considering the size and way it constantly loading and unloading data.

ssd all the way 40% faster loading i have ocz 120 gb with os windows and this game on it plus it helps windows run faster

An SSD offers a significant boost to performance in Planetside, specifically with hitching.

I didn't notice any difference to performance and ended up deleting it from my SSD and reinstalling it on my regular hard drive. Yes the load times were faster, but I prefer to use my SSD for games that really have slow load times, like warhammer total war.

Also, once your SSD gets over 50 percent it will lose some of its speed (still faster than a regular hard drive though), so i try to keep mine at around 50 percent free. Another reason i uninstalled Planeside 2 from the SSD.

I moved it to my ssd a while ago. Frame rate has become smoother, less skips and far less freezes. It also loads alot faster, both on the initial loading screen and ingame which helps alot with redeploy hopping.

I installed it on my HDD since my SDDs are full. Honestly, I should clean some space on my SDD to transfer Ps2 on it because loading times are painfull.
