  1. System using mass amounts of disk while gaming


    It's important to understand this ONLY happens when playing system resource heavy games. Currently playing Far Cry 5. While the game is up and not in a menu system is using all of the disk read/write. So I opened the resource monitor built into windows 10 (which is what I'm using) according to that its the page file. This makes sense but even on an SSD drive its eating ALL of it up? Sounds like someone needs to work on polishing the page file... the point of it is to extend memory and make performance better... yeah not so much...

    :)
