These lightning fast nvme drives offer virtually nothing for gaming as there just is no difference over normal sata ssds in real world tests.

And not everyone is like you, not everyone wants these for gaming.
Well considering intel said right there in the article they think it will benefit gamers, his comment is perfectly relevent and helpful to the discussion, unlike yours.Quote:

I'd also have more concern with a games coding if it can't play smooth on a normal ssd....so intel saying Star citizen gameplay will stay smooth to me says that SC is poorly written.
I think this is an exciting technology but in 3-5 years when it's cost competitive with SSDs. I would have loved to use optane + HDD but I was on Z170 and now I'm on Ryzen so ... no chance.
These larger devices will have various use cases but I hope they can get them mainstream quite soon.
unfortunately rendering nowadays is more GPU focused.
They make a difference in games with large load times. For Star Citizen, there are no load screens; the benefit of these would be that they won't suffer from stalling or wear from the content streaming.Quote:
