meh, I mean from what I've seen with people running it on regular setups (HDD) no noticeable difference.

I have a 128 GB SSD and it loads fast yes, but I assumed that was the game not my ssd.

SSD's only make games load faster they do not give you any proformence beyond that.

That's what I meant. I care about the load times.

The awnser to that question then is always yes, not that load times in this game are really an issue.

Well what I meant was, the game loads fast on its own. I can't time it as I don't have a second PC, but, again, from what i've seen, theres no noticeable difference.

I honestly don't know heh, I have two SSD's raid 0 but I can't know how fast it would be on an HDD. Generally how much gain you get from and SSD is usually related to the game itself. For instance Star Citizen which is being developed has some benefits as it is constantly streaming data, which is more about memory speed but SSD's help a little.

Gaming wise though I don't think the differences are all that huge I probably wouldn't spend the extra cash just for that reason if you're trying to budget. I personally like mine though and I try to build with the future in mind as I only build a new PC every 4 years so I wanted SSD's this time around and the price wasn't too terrible, still could be lower though. :)
