Storing games onto a SSD

[Mehta23]

I have 8GB ram.... Most I've seen in use is 5.2

i have 3 SSD's in the games rig, 1 for windows and program files, another for steam and origin (EA) games and a 60gb for page files and temp files.

I'd love to have everything on SSD's but they're too expensive at the moment... Still

Everything put onto the SSD will load faster, so will games. I had GTA 5 on HDD and moved it onto my SSD and load times were beautiful. Loaded the game in under 20 seconds.
Textures and loading shops and items in shops will definitely be speeded up

I trust that's a typo as gta 5 isn't out yet?
I don't think people should worry too much about page file if you've got 8gb of RAM. It's a shame that ssd prices are on the rise again. God damn NAND cartel!

Lol, my gta runs half as fast on my ssd :'( slower than platter

Games should always load quicker on SSD's but it really depends on the game and types of assets used.

I'm surprised the amount of my PC gamer friends who think that an SSD is just for Windows. I wouldn't dream of having my games on a mech drive anymore, it cuts loading times down sooooo much.

Does having a page file while having at least 8GB is still worth while?
I haven't had a page file since I upgraded from my old Rock Pegasus 665...

Unless you often used up most of your ram, you could do away with the page file or at least reduce it in side

Page file is not about running out of RAM, and some programs might still prefer to have something there. It's a very good fit with the characteristics of an SSD too, so usually recommended.
