I have two sata drives currently and want to upgrade to an NVMe ssd but I don't want my cpu usage to raise in videogames.
There's a couple of drives I'm considering. One of them has around 1600mbs read write with 350000-400000 iops, the other one has around 2000mb and 170000iops. Which one will go harder on the cpu? Would there even be a difference in cpu usage in applications and videogames as they probably have a limit of iops they can request, don't they? So the usage should be the same..?
I don't know exactly what I'm gonna end up buying, can you just explain how iops affect the cpu during videogames?
