Hi guys

So I my PC is ageing, i74790k, 1070 and 16GB.  I'm not in the financial position to upgrade yet.  I can't upgrade my CPU because it requires a new motherboard etc.

A cheaper option would be moving to a 2070 or 2080 (but I'm not really sure if this would help) because I am CPU limited at the mo.

Another cheaper option I have been looking at is moving to SSD. I have Win 10 installed on a 240GB SSD and MSFS installed on a 2TB HDD.  I've googled and can pickup a 2TB SSD which is compatible for about £130.  I'm wondering if this would have any tangible benefits on performances apart from initial loading times?  Anyone else done something similar and can give me advice?

Thanks

If one of your issues is stutter it may help with that.

Unlikely to make much difference to frame rates.

I think it'll help a little bit but not very much.

That's what I did a while back. I downloaded Macrium Reflect Free and simply cloned my old drive with MSFS on it to a 1TB SSD.  Wish I'd got a 2 TB SSD now though as I'm now going to have to do it all over again.
