Performance Upgrade

Some of you were having a discussion with me re an upgrade I was working on, pissed off because I&A specifically for me was running really poorly. Today I built it.

I went from an i7 4790, 16GB DDR3 and an old school HDD to;

an i7 8700k, 32GB DDR4 and most importantly an NVME Drive just for ARMA. (I've been running a 1080ti for a while now)

The changes I noted were an average jump in from from around the 30fps mark to about 55 to 75 fps. Most importantly though theres no stuttering and it loads really fast. I'm going to chalk it all up to the drive upgrade as both the CPU and RAM before were hardly working up a sweat.

I'm not sure the difference between an NVME drive and a standard SATA SSD, but if anyone is looking to upgrade, and they've got a standard HDD, I'd recommend turfing that first.

    Yea ive had one for awhile now and I will never go back to a normal drive for games.

    Highly recommend if anyone is looking at a new drive and has the money.
