Hello,
I have been having stuttering and lag issues with some of my steam games lately to the point where it is sometimes unplayable. The stuttering gets worse when I try to play online too. Then just yesterday it literally took about 10 minutes to load a new campaign in Warhammer Total war. This was the first time it took this long and so I searched up ways to improve load times. I eventually uninstalled the game, which was on my HDD, and then I installed it on my SSD which is where my OS is located as well.
I started up the game and am so glad to see it only took mere seconds to start a new campaign and load up matches. What really surprised me though was that the stuttering(so far at least) has stopped! The game finally runs super smooth and my online experience is much better as well. I was only expecting faster load times but not an overall fixing of a major issue such as constant stuttering and lag. Again its running very smoothly so far and I guess that "lag" that I was experiencing when playing with other payers was probably just the game itself being slow. Is such a difference this big normal? Basically I have suspicions that my HDD could be faulty somehow if its being this slow and weird at running my games. This is also a brand new built computer too by the way. I ran HD tuner but I have no idea how to make sense of the benchmark. My results were,
"transfer rate min: .1MB/sec,
Max: 53.1MB/sec
Avg: 14.1MB/sec
Access time: 138.5ms
Burst Rate: 39.9MB/sec
All the health statuses seem to be ok too. Sorry for the long post for a simple question, so could my HDD be faulty?
Thank you
