PoE 2 and SSD

[Robka]

So, what do you think? Do you believe PoE 2 (big update) will have better optimization? Like, we don't need SSD to have better experience?

There's no indication that the non-volatile memory speed would ever be removed from each and every critical path involved.

So, rip playerbase in the future confirmed

High tech - unimaginable SSD quality product for our PC just to play 1 game made by chinese in new zealand. Totally normal

Kind of ironic that people ask for optimization, but refuse to bring their setups up to 2011s standards*.

* Ultrabooks specifications were introduced 2011, with the requirement of an SSD

Both of you behave like left wingers asking for equale pay but saying to everyone to buy SSD. I am enjoying this

If you've bought an SSD in the last 5 years, you'd be ok on performance.
If you bought your HDD more than 5 years ago, you should start worrying about it failing and replace it anyways.
If you bought your HDD within the previous 5 years, you didn't care about your storage's speed.

So I don't see a reason for a reliable system to still use HDDs for performance-relevant tasks.

I never had any performance issues in any game especially when I upgraded my PC like 2-3 years ago. The only game I have below 60 FPS is Arma 3 in high settings.

PoE is just bad optimized. I like the game and I even bought 2 premium stashes to have more interesting experience. Other than that, it doesnt deserve anything else because of this 'SSD is a must' crap.

Anyway, thank you for replying. The thread will not go anywhere anyway. I wont buy SSD just for a single game. Not being cheap because the price is cheap, just morale

I love how people talking about bad performance of poe and don't realize how many particles, monsters, sound effects, shaders and a bunch of calculations are happening on theyr system while they are rushing maps in a couple of minutes with a build that triggers 14+ attacks per second that clears multiple screens at the same time.

Yeah, often they even bring up unrelated examples of other games that aren't en par with the performance requirement vectors.

I don't care if you can play a game with ok performance where your client knows about maybe 4 enemies near you and 20 projectiles that aren't even projectiles but mere hitscans...

[VoiD_[AT] [Bulg0gi-gaming]]

Yeah... also you can get pretty cheap ssd's. I don't get why anyone stick to theyr old hardware. Just upgrade one or two parts per year and your system stays with the time. And even the most expensive part the gpu you can buy second hand from any render or mining farm for cheap. Never had a problem with that.

always funny to read when people blame a game when refuse to use proper hardware. and I dont care, if most of the games in your steam lib dont need fast disks because non of that mattered for my initial statement:

you want to play the latest games which load a lot of stuff, you use an SSD. the same way you would use powerful GPUs when wanting to play the latest AAA on ultra settings or need a lot of RAM when working in the creativity industry.

ever played open world games like the newer AC or tom clancy games? have fun with your microstutter when playing from an HDD. especially noticable when moving fast.

probably all games which run better with an SSD are badly optimized, right? 👍

For the interested:
SSD - The number one asked feature of devs in regards to the next gen playstation (do watch it a bit, it describes how devs had to alter level design, save assets redundantly etc on HDDs)

And with SSDs being standard on the next gen consoles, you can kiss your HDD-"performance" good night for many upcoming games.

high tech ? every single non gaming 500 bucks office pc in last years has an ssd. an ssd is far away from high tech in 2020. its standard for years now.

Can't you get SSDs these days for like $30 ? Even less when on sale, and I'm not talking offbrand stuff no one has heard of, from big companies like Kingston and SanDisk and ♥♥♥♥.
