Why do you say SSD makes a difference?
At the start of matches, sure....but I'm at a loss to explain any in-game difference...thus the question. |

Not in my experience, having played extensively with and without an SSD and knowing a bit how computers like the PS3 work.
Said a bit differently, while playing the game (i.e. not looking at your suits), there is virtually no difference in game performance (i.e. frame rate) between the two.
Said even more directly: The game isn't reading disk much during a battle, and thus any performance gains are minimal.
Loading the game? Sure! Moving between your quarters and the warbarge? Absolutely. In the battle? Not as best as I can tell.
Why the eye roll? |

Agreed 100%. It gives you about 5 seconds spawn advantage.
Beyond that.... I've really struggled to see any performance gain. |

If you have direct experience to the contrary, I'm all ears!
Why the eye roll? Not completely accurate. The ps3 only has 256mb of ram and 256mb of vram, developers tend to use a larg pagefile on the hard drive to compensate, and this gives the SSD a noticeable advantage in high lag situations. Changing only the hard drive, performance changes almost night and day between the two on the underground depot map.
Lag is network based, not PS3 performance based. So perhaps you meant to say "slow framerate situations" instead of "high lag"?
And FWIW, the performance on the Gallente Lag Facility didn't change much for me outside the initial loading of the socket -- performance is still spotty for both SSD and non-SSD players as best as I can tell. What's worse is that it often changes if you go outside and then back into the city for some odd reason...for both SSD and non-SSD PS3s.
What led you to say the difference in performance is "almost night and day", because I didn't notice anything outside of initial rendering/loading of the socket. Once it's loaded it seems to preform the same regardless of if you have a SSD or not...but perhaps I need to play around some more as it's been a while since I popped the HD back into my PS3.
[and my apologies to the OP for the tangent that has nothing to do with logi-ing] |
