SSD help[ FIXED ]

[PatrickIV]

Problem is solved



So. Recently I have become annoyed at my longer load times getting into matches. And since I dont enjoy getting kicked I decided to buy an SSD. Would this SSD make my load times faster or would more Ram be better? Also, how would i go about moving r6 onto said SSD?

Current PC:
CPU:ryzen5 2600
MEM:8gb DDR4 at 2133
GPU:RX 570
HDD:7200rpm SeaGate

SSD i found: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/LdgzK8/silicon-power-a55-512gb-25-solid-state-drive-sp512gbss3a55s25

My budget is VERY tight so bear with me.

Would another 8gbs of RAM decrease load times faster?

Another 8gig Ram would be nice...
Yes a SSD will help with load times...
Move the folder to the SSD and point Steam to where you moved it....

my spec is lower than yours and my game is on hdd but my load times are just fine, the load time could be cause of your internet so unless your hdd is very old or broken there is no guarantee that a ssd will fix it.

make a steam lib in ssd go to game properties local files press move to another location.

In reality you do not need ssd, decent hdd loads this game within seconds. If loading time in your case got longer in recent days it means your drive is simply failing. Backup from it all data you need and replace it with either ssd or hdd. I would recommend you to have at least 1TB ssd for OS and games and at least 1TB hdd for data, even 2TB hdds are cheap.

I'm using hdd for os and games and maps in siege are loading within seconds. If maps are loading long it means hdd is old or dying/failing.

I do not recommend seagate's drives as they have high failure rate and recently one their series had a serious flaw in design.

Also in your case upgrading to 16GB of ram would be welcome, preferably 3000MHz.

One more thing: do not buy ssd with QLC memory chips as these are literally slower than hdd.

Your hard drive should be fine, i keep R6 on a 5400RPM HDD and it loads nicely. What you need a memory upgrade, 2133MHz is pretty slow for Ryzen CPUs. Ryzen thrives and performs the best with high-speed, dual-channel memory. a 2x8gb kit at ~3000MHz would be a great match. Here's a couple of examples on PC Part Picker that would work great for you.

16 gb 3000Mhz:
ADATA XPG Z1 16 GB [pcpartpicker.com] $60

8 gb 3200Mhz:
G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 8 GB [pcpartpicker.com] $43

Note: I also have 8gb of ram and the game runs great with high FPS, the 16 gig kit isn't necessary but it would be a nice touch.

Get any SSD/HDD with a 7200RPM.
Up the RAM Capacity if possible.

i ve had good loading times with 6gb 1333mhz ram.

You don't need an SSD to run this game. The only reason your loading is long is that your HDD might be full or you haven't defragged your HDD in a long time. You want to defrag your HDD? Here's an app called Defraggler (https://www.ccleaner.com/defraggler) that helps your HDD to become faster.

Adding another 8 GB of RAM isn't really necessary for gaming but I did it on the start of 2020 to increase my chrome tabs and also for editing photo's and video's. But if you want to buy another stick of RAM, I suggest you buy the same RAM or another stick of RAM with the same frequency or speed which is 2133mhz in your case.

the SSD besides loading the game faster it helps in the FPS,so you should go for the SSD

This is literally false
Your PC wont benefit on FPS at all from an SSD unless you are already throttling it with seriously undercutting your ram and it having to switch to the HDD and at that point nothing would be playable regardless of ssd or hdd

[Bing Chilling]

the ssd would help the most by far, ram and cpu don't really matter much for load times.

but 2133mhz ram? can you even buy preset ram that is "that" slow?
every kit i'v ever seen was atleast 2400mhz
your mobo might be underclocking it for some reason. as my 2400mhz kit was running at 2133mhz when i first put it in, and i needed to go into the bios and change it to it's rated speed.
ryzen cpu's really do benefit from faster memory and i doubt that kit couldn't do alteast 2666mhz
even i can get 2666mhz out of mine and i use a h310 pro mobo (a 50$ non unlocked chipset)

You're right in some ways but wrong in some ways too. Some games actually lag when the textures won't load. Like imagine you run a ton of google chrome tabs in the background while running a game. Most of the HDD would go to running the chrome tabs, and probably a little going to the game. Kinda think it would lag.

this is the consequence of using amd hardware

???ha???
What does it have to do with AMD? Is this some sort of battle among intel and AMD?

I know my HDD is not failing its only 3 months old.

Could it be possible that I need to lower my settings cause right now everythings on high.
