How important is SSD cache in gaming?

 

[Peter Martin]

very vague question. what do you mean ssd cache?

if you are running a game on ssd, nothing really improves but load times. I am no sure what cache has to do with anything, are you talking an Intel Optane memory module?

An SSD cache basically makes an SSD faster.

In gaming...where you aren't really accessing the HD much during the game....I don't think you are going to see much effect based on the cache.

I don't really understand SSDs just yet so I'm sorry for the vague question.

doesn't really help gaming. The only thing it would help is loading the games and levels, but in-game performance won't be helped.
