March 31, 20215 yr If I install FS2020 on a hard drive, will it impact the fps compared to a SSD? I plan to install a lot of scenery addons.
March 31, 20215 yr No, but it will take a long time to load, You can put the scenery add ons on a hard drive.
March 31, 20215 yr I don't think it will affect your fps if you have enough of ram and fast internet, but loading times will be painfully long.

March 31, 20215 yr You can put it will be slow to initial load. But however, I would definitely at least put the rolling cache in a SSD or even better in NVM SSD AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 64GB DDR5 6000MHZ RAM, RX7900XT, FreeSync 165hz 1440p display

I bought a 1 TB M.2 SSD and am beginning to wonder if it is big enough for the longer term.

March 31, 20215 yr Definately go for an SSD. An NVMe M.2 if you can. AMD Ryzen R9 9950X3D | Asus Astral RTX 5080 OC | 32 GB DDR5 6000 CL30 | 3440x1440 G-Sync | Logitech Pro Throttles Rudder Yoke Panels | Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS | TrackIR 5 | Oculus Rift S

I've got a 1TB SSD sata III and with lots of Community addons it's easily 7 minutes from double click to flying. I usually just browse the net or plan something while loading. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

I usually just browse the net or plan something while loading. I have the same experience. I have MSFS including the Community folder installed on an NVMe M.2. I do notice increased loading times when using large addons (more than 1 GB), but usually it loads fairly quickly. The NVMe is about 3400/2500 MB/s read/write. On a regular SSD it would likely be 5 times slower, and on a HDD I wouldn't even dare guess.

March 31, 20215 yr Author i dont care about load times. im just worried that a hard drive will stutter more and reduce fps. is that true that it will stutter more and reduce fps?
March 31, 20215 yr Author Just now, Bert Pieke said: Stutter yes, fps no. If i have 32 gb ram, will it still stutter?
