![]() SSD's just allow your PC to access the GW2 data files at a much faster rate resulting in faster load times. Therefore I have to mention, SSD's do NOT increase FPS and overall performance. And same map waypointing in 1 or 2 seconds.Īn SSD is a great investment if you want a better gaming experience when it comes to load times. I went from a traditional HDD to SSD and noticed a huge difference when loading into things like LA (Took me about a near minute to load up fresh on a HDD, Now it takes like 10 seconds on an SSD) Even things like waypointing, I can go from LA to let's say, sparkfly fen in about 6 or 7 seconds. So I had the slow, slooow HDD response times again until I finally cleaned up my system SSD a bit and got GW2 moved over to it :)Īn SSD really does shine when it comes to map loading, especially in games GW2 with all the pop-in and grand scale environments. I originally used an SSD cache disk for the HDD, but that sadly died. ![]() The SSD is a rather old OCZ Vertex 2, and the HDD is a 2TB WD Green drive. Which seem to indicate a CPU bottleneck (the SSD loads data faster than the CPU can process), and that GW2 only use two threads to load map data. It depends a bit on if you've loaded an area close to it recently.Ĭuriously, when loading from SSD the cpu use stops at 50%. While this difference is on the extreme side, it's noticeable on most map loading screens in-game too, usually around 2-3x faster. You also have much less of random models popping in later ( as shown here) when playing. This was done by loading into LA after rebooting the machine to make sure the game had to read everything from the disk, and not from RAM.Īs you can see, it's quite a difference - the SSD is about 5 times faster than the plate-spinning HDD. I made two videos comparing the map loading times on SSD and HDD in GW2.
