ArmA 2 stuttering performance

Goldman, could you check something for me if it's not too much of a hassle?

Could you run CrystalDiskMark for me with the same settings as you see below, to see how high your 4k write speed is? I'm seeing people getting over 50mb/s in that particular column, while I barely reach 20mb/s. I'm curious how yours is operating, maybe something is wrong with my SATA interface (read some stories about the SB750 on my mobo not working very good with SSD's).

@Zoog:
bear in mind that almost all HDD benchmark tools are written for HDD's so they do not always give correct results for SSD's.
For more details read the indepth SSD articles from the anandtech site.

Here are my results: (for both my SSD and HDD's)



So it seems that your score of 20 mb/s in the 4k write is not that bad at all.

PS I have the first series X25-M (not the Postville) and it's several months old,
so my peformance degrades and I cannot use the TRIM command)

Thanks for posting. Yeah, I read all the Anandtech articles before I bought my drive, they are very good reads :)

A few minutes ago I finally found the problem! On my normal HDD I had been using version 9.9 of Ati drivers, when I tried the SSD I used the latest, version 9.12. Well, today I reinstalled Windows and everything, but this time used the 9.9 drivers. This fixed the problem with slowdowns, so it seems to be a driver issue

Although right now I have buildings untextured for 7+ seconds (white model) or buildings appearing after 2 secs when I look behind me. That's new, but we'll see, for now the slowdowns are gone

Good to hear your slowdowns are gone.

All you need now is a Nvidia card and your texture issues are also gone
JK ... got no idea what that could be... drivers again ?
