Gaming pc differences
Hello, my husband and I both play PC games, specifically ARK: Survival Evolved with mods. My computer is entirely custom-built, while his was a pre-assembled system purchased from a company. We paid approximately the same amount for both machines, yet my PC’s performance is significantly superior. I can provide specific specifications if needed. However, we both use similar mods and my PC takes approximately five minutes to close a game, while his closes it instantly. His computer consistently outperforms mine in loading speeds despite being a less powerful system overall. What is causing this discrepancy?
A nearly full drive can negatively affect performance. Consider defragging/defragmenting your drive using the Windows tool, but be aware that this may take a long time with limited space and if it hasn’t been performed recently. This process is not suitable for SSDs. Additionally, run Check Disk to assess your drive’s health. [https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-...ows-vista/]
Assuming one machine utilizes an SSD and the other uses a HDD, here are my PC specifications:

PSU make and age are helpful.

I don’t have SSDs, though my 1TB drive is nearly full. He has two 1TB hard drives; one is approximately a third full, and the other is about half full. I will provide the specifications soon.

A nearly full drive can impact performance. I would also try defragging/defragmenting your drive using the Windows tool, but with little space left and if not done recently this could take a long time. This is something you do not do with SSD’s. I would also try check disk to see the health of your drive: https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-...ows-vista/
Thanks for the info. Really both are reasonably new. Now drive issues can occur at any time if unlucky. I am not saying this is a drive issue but that is something that comes to mind from your description.
