If next gen games can only be played with a capable SSD doesn't that mean all PC gamers trying to play next gen games are going to need to upgrade? Thus this is the gen where HDD decline.
I think SSDs are already becoming standard with every new computer sold even cheap onesI doubt it'll move that fast, PC games have to address a lot of different hardware and SSD-only will self limit sales, which creates a chicken and egg thing where the PC market will move slowly towards this. So long as cross platform games have to consider PC (and the XBO/X) it'll be a slow move.

Anyone with a decent rig has at least a Samsung EVO, keep games you play in system driveAs system drives absolutely, but it'll take more time for the bulk of gaming rigs out there to upgrade their bulk game storage drives to SSDs.
I'm thinking more like mid-end 9th generation than start of, so eventually yes, but peoples hard drives aren't in immediate threat of not being able to run games any time soon I should think.
It's 2020 haven't they all upgraded like 3 years ago?If next gen games can only be played with a capable SSD doesn't that mean all PC gamers trying to play next gen games are going to need to upgrade? Thus this is the gen where HDD decline.
Beyond the fans I have no moving parts in my computer and 7.4GB of storage (total)....Yea I agree. HDD will be a thing of the past soon. To some it already is.
What parallel do you live in? and where is the bridge to said universe?PC replaced HDD with SSD 7 - 10 years ago. Now, it wasn't NVME, but prior gen SSD's have been on par when it comes to cost for a while now. With the exception of when there was that whole tidal wave thing that caused SSD's to skyrocket in price.
I specifically built a PC for Diablo 3 back in 2012 and SSD's were a bit more expensive than HDD's. Then the tidal wave hit and SSD's skyrocketed for the year.What parallel do you live in? and where is the bridge to said universe?

Yes because SSD's didn't exist until right now OP.

SSD gaming on PC only valid when consoles do it. lolPCs have been doing it long before MS or Sony. HDD are gonna be a thing of the past no different to the DVD/BLURAY scenario. No person should be using HDD for gaming especially on PC. We are stuck with them on current gen consoles for now..
It isn't even about games tbh. PC's just run cleaner running off m2s.SSD gaming on PC only valid when consoles do it. lol
Who said that? Quite the opposite. PCs have validated SSD gaming hence why next gen consoles will feature SSD. HDD are still fine for storage purposes.SSD gaming on PC only valid when consoles do it. lol
That's what I mean (but maybe worded wrong).Who said that? Quite the opposite. PCs have validated SSD gaming hence why next gen consoles will feature SSD. HDD are still fine for storage purposes.
You are overthinking my post. I honestly dont see the point you are making. I have been using SSD for gaming on PC since these current gen of consoles were released and never looked back. Same applis to loading windows off SSD. Unfortunately console gamers were stuck with them this gen and its time to move on.That's what I mean (but maybe worded wrong).
SSD gaming is only important to some gamers when consoles get around to to doing it. If not, SSD is pointless.
2 minutes to 20 seconds?? Which one did you buy?Yes the message is loud and clear.
I love that both MS and Sony are pushing this.
Ever since putting a 1TB Samsung SSD into my PS4 Pro, i no longer have to wait almost 2 minutes to boot up Division 2. I'm in the game in less than 20 seconds. Fast travelling takes me 5 seconds. Usually it would take round half a minute or more to fast travel in the game on my old stock HDD.
My last and my current PC are SSD only.I haven't used an HDD in my PC for anything else than storage for since 2009 when I got my first SSD. It was mind-blowing, and the biggest performance upgrade ever.
Yeah I'd say it's way overdue, I can't believe that anyone would use an HDD as the OS disk. That's easily the first component I'd invest in.
Yup! I'd rather even have a small SSD with room for Windows and one game only, than using an HDD anyway. If I had to choose.My last and my current PC are SSD only.
My current one has a 1 tb Samsung 970 Evo Plus and a 1tb 970 Evo. More than enough for games.
