I've been trying to play black ops 2 online and I seem to enter games at least 20 seconds after everyone. Im playing on all settings maxed out except for shadows which is turned off.
I have a 6gb/s 7200rpm hard drive so I have really high doubts that is other dread speed. I also have an Internet connection of 95 Mb/s download and 65 Mb/s upload. Look at my profile for other PC specs.
Not sure you really want to increase load times but rather decrease them right? Anyways I have noticed that people who have SSDs tend to wait on those that use HDDs to load games in multiplayer games.
That an interesting take on it. It's weird though I'm always last by like a good 5 seconds from the last player and the game time has already ran down like 20 seconds it sucks, I mean I can live but it's rarer annoying.
Maybe a disk defragmentation could help by relocating files to single regions for faster reads. Try using defraggler and doing a full defrag.
ill try that and let you know the outcome.
Could try a defrag, turning down the details, and an SSD make games load a lot faster
Something that i do is move all data to a safe location, format the drive they are in and pu them back on the drive or simply re-download them works like a charm for me. Defrag helps but take live away from drives so i dont use but thats just me :D
Sure defragging an SSD is bad, but considering an HDD I don't think it will take away any more "life" from the drive. Even if it did then then consider this: using an HDD with fragmented files will take longer to access and read the data making the head search longer than a defragmented drive probably evening out usage in the long run. Otherwise could you site your source that defragmenting would shorten the life of a HDD cause I think that would be an interesting read.
Defraging, reducing drive life span only applies to SSD drives..
correct me if im wrong
your correct. i defrag all the time, and so do alot of other people. it helps alot on hdd's.
I"m using Diskeeper 2011 it's much faster than defraggler but it costs. I don't use Hyperfast on my SSD though. No matter how they market their software never ever use any 3rd party optimization on an SSD.
I tried it and it reduced my performance greatly so I had to clone the drive and use Internal Secure Erase then restore windows from the backup to get my speeds back.
