Poor computer performance despite a powerful machine.
Poor computer performance despite a powerful machine.
I can confirm that I experience absolutely no issues at all when playing games located on separate drives from my operating system. My games are distributed across three distinct drives within my computer.
It’s unlikely you’re experiencing difficulties, however, installing your video games in the same location as your operating system should result in quicker loading times. If you purchased a solid-state drive to improve speed, you've essentially been unsuccessful due to its lack of proper usage.
That’s incorrect; I routinely defragment mine daily out of precaution. Simply right-click on the disk, select ‘properties’, navigate to ‘tools,’ and then click the ‘optimize’ button. Alternatively, you can activate the button situated above it – the ‘check’ option – which scans your drive for damaged files, though I suspect that isn't the root cause of your issue.
Avoid defragmenting your solid-state drive. Ignore this advice.
Therefore, you should not
defrag
a
SSD
. In fact, carrying out such an action will diminish the lifespan of your drive. ... The TRIM command is available for current
SSDs
and it will enhance the hard drive’s operation by minimizing write/delete operations and consequently greatly prolonging the life of your
SSD
. Due to the effective nature of
SSD
technology,
defragmentation
to boost speed is not genuinely necessary.
Avoid defragmenting solid-state drives (SSDs) because this can reduce their operational life. The “trim” function within the optimization process is unnecessary, and Windows performs it automatically.
It seems unlikely that the problem originates with the storage devices; let’s proceed to other solutions.
Subsequently, I would recommend updating the motherboard's BIOS and associated drivers, including the chipset. Be mindful of update requirements and carefully adhere to instructions to prevent damaging the motherboard.
Furthermore, during gameplay if the issue continues, monitor CPU, RAM, and GPU utilization for any sudden increases that might impact your gaming performance. You previously mentioned acceptable temperatures, but what were they specifically during gaming sessions?
I recently glanced at a portion of your optimization video, and some of the suggestions were quite misguided, particularly the recommendation to defragment drives. A full reinstall of Windows and all drivers should be considered a last resort, and after doing so, it's advisable to disregard similar "optimization" videos as they might not take into account recent Windows updates.
I noticed your message about having already run the disk optimization. Please refrain from repeating this process, as it will continue to shorten the life of your solid-state drive. 😉
