new SSD low FPS

[Jomot42]

So i got the samsung 850 EVO SSD and added it to my machine, did a fresh install and i am running windows off the SSD aswell as a few games I play regularly.

Beforehand I could play CS:GO with 300 fps. Now after installing the SSD and running the game off the SSD my fps barely reaches 100. Surely something is wrong?

I have updated graphics drivers, SSD drivers and done a fresh install of the game on the SSD and on the previous HDD which I was getting 300 fps on. Even on that old HDD that served me well I am not getting the frames I was once getting.

Any suggestions or theories?

the ssd only stores your games and let you access them as fast as possible but the rest is done by the gpu and cpu

did you installed your most recent gpu drivers?

SSD has nothing to do with FPS - it only loads the data so the game and levels get loaded faster.

FPS is handled by GPU and CPU. Thats where you need to look for a fix.

yeah i completely understand what you're saying, but the problem occured after installing the SSD.

I have uninstalled my gpu drivers and reinstalled them, didn't fix anything
