Why does flying a plane faster than a car?

SSD have a faster read and write time when it comes to data. SSD just simply loads up data faster thus resulting in faster load times.

access times and random small read / write

Honest question. Does ssds help with texture popping? I have a good gpu and cpu but the popping annoy me

>>384632657
An HDD has moving, mechanical parts. An SSD has no moving parts, so it can access the data faster.

>>384635220
if it's reading the textures from the disk constantly, sure
so in open world games at the very least

It doesn't. Only loading screens become faster by max like a minute and the same goes for OS. Unless you're doing some serious production work on premiere pro or some shit SSD's are pretty much worthless, overpriced and a luxury.

I dunno if I'm being bamboozled or if you are literally the poorest person on the site.

because both digital and physical games store assets on the hdd.

>>384635220
Not really. Any good 7200 rpm drive shouldn't have issues like this. I used to have a similar problem with gta 5 and found it was because my stupid anti virus was scanning my pc whenever I play gta 5 so my hdd is being used overtime. I also had paging file conflicts in another situation. I'd just goto control panel and force close the apps which were making my disk spike to 100% usage and the pop in went away.

>>384635220
Do you even know how games work, you retard?

>>384634432
The only real downside is that you have to clean the digital dust from time to time, but other than that SSDs are always better.

>>384635220
get a better gpu with more vram

SSDs have no seek time. HDDs have a rotating platter, and when you want to read some data from a specific section of the disk you have to wait for it to rotate under the read head. This can take milliseconds. SSDs can seek any data anywhere on the drive in a fraction of a millisecond.

>>384635905
>the poorest person on the site.
That would be console-only players who can only invest ~$300 into a full system. SSD are a luxury to those kind of people.

>>384635905
>p-poor

Yeah enjoy that 1 minute faster boot time whilst I use that $100 to buy a superior GPU/CPU within a set budget. I bet you're that retard who was spamming his shitty $800 Pentium and gtx 1050 builds with a $300 ssd.

>>384634808
Quality ones will last decades. Cheap ones will last about as long as an HDD.

>>384635220
Yes. The Game can obviously load the textures and everything it needs a fuck ton faster, making texture pop in less noticable, depending on the game.

>>384636252
VRAM only helps so much when the Game is just being a piece of trash.

>>384636296
I don't think anyone is spending gpu/cpu money for an ssd, it's just that they're cheap enough there's really no reason not to at least have a 250gb ssd for vidya that have a lot of load screens

No need to spin a disc looking for shit. It's just electricity running through the circuit which is literally the speed of light or something.

That's why PSX had loading screens while the N64 didn't.

Electricity travels about 0.95c

A SSD is probably the biggest improvement of the past decade in how it feels to use a computer.

An extra $100 on a GPU/CPU vs. having a SSD is not even a question. Fuck, I'd probably go up to $300 before giving up the SSD.

>>384637253

It just blows my mind that not only everyone is ok with this, but this scam is legal to begin with.

Okay high school drop outs.

The light from a thunderbolt is a product of the plasma produced from the electric arc exciting the air molecules. The electricity does not and NEVER faster than light.

>>384637626
This. I've still got three of my old computers lying around. Each one would slow down on boot time and load time within a year. Speeding shit up would require extra ram and even that was just a temporary solution. My current build is 5 years old now and is just as fast as when it was new. Not to mention with how far flash storage has come you'll never meet the write limit for these things.

>>384637096
Samsung 850 Evo goes on sale all the time, the 250gb version is usually sub $100 and has enough space for your OS and programs. Use a larger HDD for games and videos.

Currently in the middle of a legal battle on this topic myself actually.
Bought myself a new car thirty years ago. You know how it is, couple of collisions mess up the frame, coolant is expensive so you use water instead and you gotta save time in the morning rush so you WOT right out of the garage a second after ignition when it's -20C.

I'm having to get it serviced more and more every month and I'm really fed up. I have no idea how car manufacturers can keep getting away with this shit, passing off products literally designed to be defective after a long enough period of time.

>>384632657
You know how load times on the PS1 were ridiculously long compared to N64 load times?
Disks take longer to read/write off of compared to cartridges, but depending on the type of drive you get it's not mind-numbingly slow.

ACTUALLY retard, there is no resistance. Light moves at the speed of light. Doesn't matter if it's a vacuum or not.

Light CAN hit things, which can cause it to bounce around, which can delay the light's arrival. But the actual speed of the light never changes.

I'm not the poster you're replying to.
I'm also going to give you the benefit of the doubt.

Tomboy that hides being a girl at all is the concept.
Typically by identifying characters of the trope.

Most of them are moe-age onwards so despite being disguised as "masculine" they're already hyper-feminine even as males.

Off the top of my head:
Some french bitch from some low effort ecchi mecha thing I can't remember the name of that had two seasons.

For what it's worth, electricity is actually slow as fuck. Electrons move slower than a snail. People commonly picture an electronic circuit as "electrons moving from positive to negative" which has its own problems all together, but that's not the way it works.

when you flip a switch to close the positive and negative terminals of a battery across a lightbulb, the entire line becomes saturated with electrons and they all move one at a time. it's like gridlock on a busy street during rush hour, each car is an electron and moves one after the other, single file.

yes, an electron can encounter resistance. but resistance does not cause it to slow down, not really. it still maintains the same speed, but a literal resistor (and any form of electrical impedance in a circuit) creates a lengthier pathway for the electrons to take. when an electron is forced to pass through a resistor or some kind of resistance source, it is still going as fast as it was before. but it's just got a longer way to travel before getting there. a resistor or other impedence source is just a fixed potentiometer. on a potentiometer you increase or decrease resistance by literally increasing or decreasing the distance between pins via an adjustable graphite wiper.

>>384632657
It doesn't.
It makes levels load faster, because it's faster at finding the needed data and loading it to the RAM than an optical device moving around trying to find said data on a physical disk.

>>384642363
Hard drives store data magnetically, not optically
