so all these years I thought sata ssds are perfectly fine for gaming,and I still think they're generally okay.
but lately I've swapped platforms and while the fps performance uplift was very good,I found that watch dogs 2 still had some intermittent stutter that I previously attributed to my 4/8 cpu.Nothing game breaking,but damn it kept me wondering.
I was really puzzled since framerates and gpu utilization were rock solid.No dips in fps,no dips in gpu usage,no spikes in cpu usage when this happened.Dpc latency in check.Then eureka moment - wd2 is a huge open world game.I opened the resource monitor and voila,there's a big spike in disk usage every time the stutter happens.
Tested ac origins too,and while it is a big open game too,it seems a little less disk bandwidth heavy cause it's not showing any signs of disk bottleneck.
this is what ac origins looks like.very consistent disk usage,no crazy ass spikes and consistent frametime performance
wd2 has some serious issues.disk usage is low and suddenly ramps up like crazy for a split second.
I wonder if a pci-e drive can deal with that.
will be getting one for my games soon.
