What Games are you playing right now? [2]

Same here, switched to SSD for faster loading.

OK I am using a Samsung 1TB Pro SSD. Thanks Guys.

I'm still learning this game taking my time getting my skills in order.
Here is a little preview sorry windows capture only does 1080p i need to start doing 1440p videos at least takes the true quality down .

Do any of you gamer's install your games on a Hard Drive? I am getting a WD Black 7200 rpm with a large cache. Just wondering?

Mechanical HDDs are soooo last decade..... My system boots Windows 10 in a ½ minute

Before getting my NVMe SSD running I was using a 7200 rpm HDD and the long load times for MS Flight Simulator 2020 was very long. I could get coffee, snacks, and use the facilities and STILL needed to wait

Good news is SSD prices are dropping dramatically.

Even replacing a HDD with a SATA III SSD would give you much quicker loads, and THE SSD directly replaces the HDD for Booting. I still use my HDD but only for data

I know this, I use a Samsung 1TB SSD now for Gaming but my DS Velox came with a 2TB Seagate Drive which I do not care for so I am replacing it with a 6TB WD Black Hard Drive just for storage and pictures and wwhaever.

For anyone interested: Devs are trying to reduce and even remove load times altogether in games. The near future will be about offloading the cpu and accelerating I/O throughput directly from disk to gpu, which not even SATA is capable of.

Development preview will happen next year so it will take a few years until this happens of course, but we're already seeing games give a recommended note for SSD installs, some even a mandatory note, while most benefits greatly from having one regardless. Later on through gen. 9 they may demand NVMe/PCIe drives too.

Have you tried the Geforce Experience video recorder? I think it's better than Windows one.
