Game stutters if there's players

[Zenaku]

I have 450GTS
3core 2.60ghz
4GB DDR2
I can play in high setting with DOF without issue and without lag in the city the only type of lag i get in the city is when you first start the game then it stop. There a few lag here and there but that a issue sense i played beta1.

I hope SE fix this i don't think getting a SSD is even worth the money just to fix this issue.

SSD's have come a long way since I've last read up on them, some have gotten faster. For the longest time, there was no noticable throughput difference, just latency speeds. Maybe I'll invest in one of those 60gb ocz's, $90 isn't bad if it's going to give me that kind of performance increase.

After reading a bit, it looks like that page is not consistent with other sources. Your hard drive is only listed at 285MB/sec read and 275MB/sec write.

Even ocz's site says less:
http://www.ocztechnology.com/ocz-sol...i-2-5-ssd.html

And that says up to. What are people getting when they're actually tested?

Test sites show 465MB/sec sequential read, 450MB/sec sequential write, but random read/write at 202MB/sec and 135MB/sec respectively. And random is the real test, because that's what happens in real life.

Yeah, I don't think you'll be saturating your sata2.

Oh for crying out loud. It would seem that i have failed to locate even my own SSD on that list.

I was wondering why the one you linked had different coloring, and a different brand. Mine is AGT3-25SAT3-120G, number 398, and NOT SLD3-25SAT3-120G, number 401, like i previously posted.

I'm terribly sorry for this embarrassing confusion. I organized the list according to SSD capacity to find my drive faster, and i must've copied from the wrong line.

But i'm still confused about the maximum SATA transfer speeds, are they stated wrong in Wikipedia?

[nasomi]

THe max speed of sata1 is 187.5mb/sec. They say 150mb/sec, probably for convenience adn rounding, but it's probably a little more, reduced from 187.5mb/sec for overhead and buffer communication.

Both Agility3 and Solid3 ssd's by OCZ have a horrible rap for reliability. almost every review of ownership over 4 months says the drive dies at the 3-4 month mark. The 120gb solid3 is on newegg's shell shocker today for $119, and I was about to buy one, until I saw the reviews. Dead, bsod, errors, etc. I think I shall wait a wee bit longer before sinking my $$ into an SSD.

Most people who don't have an issue never comment, So unless something is perfect you always see more bad reports then good. I'm not discounting the issues, I know one person who had some issues but a lot more who haven't. (ok so its only 13 people total but meh)
My SSD is only 1 month old (agility 3) but I've yet to have any issue with it, but time will tell I guess.
I did a lot of reading and pondering but noticed a lot of the complaints tailed off much earlier in the year, baring a few but no more then you would expect for anything.

An a good chunk of the Dead issues were user error (they weren't actually dead) and the error a rather big Firmware issues that's been resolved as far as i understand it now.

edit: Agility 3 120GB.

Well, i talked to two friends who recently assembled new computers. They have the same SSD (agility 3, 120gt) as me, and they're both getting random bluescreens.

I've been trying to get as much info as possible, and it would seem they have all recent drivers and firmwares, there's no overheating issues and everything sounds all good considering the setup as a whole.

Only their RAM's are not tested and certified for dual channel use. That could be the one causing BSoD's. Then again, after they contacted the retailer, he openly admitted that loads of OCZ's with older firmware has been returned and refunded to customers due to errors.

The error they're getting from dump, refers to "either display driver, memory, hard drive or win7 error" according to google.
