ISD LackOfFaith ISD Community Communications Liaisons 638	Posted - 2013.10.08 22:15:00 - [5] - Quote I haven't had issues with Eve by using a HDD on my gaming rig, but a SSD would definitely help some load times and such. If you can afford it and aren't killing your space available too much by swapping to a SSD, go for it.

Hammer Crendraven Center for Advanced Studies Gallente Federation 61	Posted - 2013.10.08 23:00:00 - [9] - Quote I am using an SSD for my operating system. HDD for everything else. Eve is stored on my HDD. But the swap files are so fast with the SSD it is like having 200 gigs of ram. You notice it with multiple clients running. Just make sure you have enough video card(s) to handle your multiple monitors.

Amhra Rho Accujac Elimination 113	Posted - 2013.10.08 23:16:00 - [11] - Quote Eve doesn't particularly rely heavily on the hard drive, but I run an implementation both ways (motor HD on my main pc, SSD on my gaming notebook). The version of Eve on my SSD really is noticeably a little crisper and slightly more responsive, but not by a huge amount. About what I expected. There's real reasons why your Eve character doesn't do /dance.

Yes, they are indeed. From a practical perspective, however, most apps don't realize the potential of a SSD beyond initialization. I think I can wait 10s more for my app to load and take the money I would have spent on a SSD and purchase a drive with a better $$/GB ratio. As for booting, hands down SSD is the way to go if you don't want to wait 60 whole seconds for your system to boot. For me, yes still on platters, this only needs to be done after power outages and the odd update requiring reboot. Otherwise, I just sleep the computer and whalaa! SSD boot speeds. As for Eve, if you're not using resource caching, then yes, SSD will improve performance. But who doesn't have more than enough ram to enable resource caching......for multiple clients? Don't ban me, bro!

Personally, I mainly use a very basic laptop with integrated video and I can still run multiple clients. Not well mind you. But I'm sure the next computers I get will all have ssd's. Even if it doesn't improve your performance for what you use it for right now, if you have the money and it may make sense within the expected time you will use the computer, why not? For PC's, I usually get something where you get the best bang for the buck- looking for best performance without paying ridiculous prices. Then I keep it longer than average, maybe upgrading the video card once before eventually gifting it to a friend or family member who needs a computer but can't afford one.

Mara Rinn Cosmic Goo Convertor Cosmic Consortium 4161	Posted - 2013.10.09 06:03:00 - [20] - Quote An SSD did nothing to improve load times for me, switching from gate to gate. My system is still limited by network latency and video card speed. I'm not routinely flying in fleets of hundreds of different ship classes, but then when it is a 200ms round trip for every packet ("ship #33 is type #24 with effect #37") it really doesn't matter whether the ship model can be loaded in 20ms or 5ms. If you have a limited budget, your order of preference should be: video card texture memory to >2GB system memory to >4GB faster video card faster CPU faster HD lower latency Internet higher bandwidth Internet Having a blindingly fast HD is going to be no use to you if your system spends all its time swapping to disk because you don't have enough video and system RAM to hold all the required textures.

Yummy Chocolate Brutor Tribe Minmatar Republic 1046	Posted - 2013.10.09 07:17:00 - [21] - Quote AFAIK the bulk of the data EVE needs to load comes from the server, so you can just install it on a HDD without any problem at all.
Random Woman Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 66	Posted - 2013.10.09 08:17:00 - [22] - Quote Coming fro someone that only has one HDD and 3 SSD, id say put Eve on the HDD. The inital loading of eve is faster on the SSD, but we talk a bout a few seconds here on something you do maybe 1-5 times a day. After the inital loading there is just not much happening on your storage device of choise, so id rather use that fast space for something else.
alexi turov Neutronium Alchemist's 1	Posted - 2013.10.09 08:19:00 - [23] - Quote 256Gb SSD for Windows, 64Gb SSD for EVE and everything else runs off a 2TB HDD. It wasn't planned, just the way things turned out after a system reshuffle. To be honest; I don't notice too much difference between platter and SSD, but if you have the cash there's no reason not to go for it.

The only load time I have is when I run the game and login. That's the only "load time" I have. So is it word to use It on a SSD??? . The question is? Will this speed up the loading in game (docking undocking jumping) the answer is no.

You notice the difference when you are in a situation where the Eve cache is used heavily, like for example in crowded systems. Try to switch on avatars in local and browse the local player list in Jita, with and without an SSD.

T'Laar Bok 87	Posted - 2013.10.09 14:28:00 - [28] - Quote I cloned my RAID-ed SSD (1Tb) back to a 1Tb HHD . The only real difference I noticed was the OS start time. My computer runs 24/7 so OS restarts are few are far between. When 1Tb SSDs (I don't like RAID) became available at a reasonable price I'll clone back again.

Murk Paradox Duty. The Cursed Few 552	Posted - 2013.10.09 16:15:00 - [33] - Quote You do not need a SSD for Eve. This is not advice for your rig or setup, but in regards to Eve as an application. And since you had to ask, I would caution about choosing a SSD unless you are in the practice of buying refurbished ones every few months (I do) because SSDs deteriorate over time. If you want a decent rig that is going to support your games for a good amount of time, just get a decent 500gb hard drive with like 10k RPM and slave a 3TB drive to it for storage. Way lower maintenance. This post has been signed by Murk Paradox and no other accounts, alternate or otherwise.

Actually, RAM has too, as there is no software out there that doesn't suffer from cache misses. This means that faster RAM leads to higher performace. Anyhow, completely irrelevant to what i wanted to write. You two are having this discussion, because "performance" means different things for you. Instead of bitching around at each other, you should be clearing up your misunderstandings.

This is not advice for your rig or setup, but in regards to Eve as an application. And since you had to ask, I would caution about choosing a SSD unless you are in the practice of buying refurbished ones every few months (I do) because SSDs deteriorate over time. If you want a decent rig that is going to support your games for a good amount of time, just get a decent 500gb hard drive with like 10k RPM and slave a 3TB drive to it for storage. Way lower maintenance. After 4 years of usage my oldest Intel SSD is still reported as 100% healthy. Not sure what brands you are buying if you have to replace them every 6 months.

As for what components affect gaming experience I would place things in this order: Graphics card (GPU, video RAM) RAM (minimum 8 gigs) CPU SSD/HD
