    each time it hitched in the game wasn't an anomaly, you can see every time it froze it was loading a new asset or a new file of some kind for the scripted sequence where you look at your hands or when you initiate a glory kill for the first time, each time it runs the first time it has to read the relevant files to ram

      Ram doesn't have persistence on data, so you can't power on a machine and pull data off of the ram.... You could load an entire OS into ram (windows would require at least 20 gigs + AFAIK) and then still it wouldn't have booted from ram, just be running solely on ram

    • @bobprivate8575
      @bobprivate8575 5 років тому +6

      It won't make a big difference. A huge factor in any drive (mechanical or SSD) performance is the embedded controller, and the controller in SD cards isn't designed for the sort of access you need in order to efficiently run programs from it. A better/more powerful microcontroller would add to the price, to the point you may as well just get an SSD that's designed for that task. Go compare benchmarks between low-end SSDs and higher-end ones with the same RAM type and you'll see the difference the microcontroller makes.

      Why bother? Windows is the cause of it's own bad performance while being bloated, meanwhile Linux runs fine on a slower class 10 SD just fine while being lighter and faster also while this is interesting or cool harddrives are still superior in speed and performance so it's probably better to just use that.

    Fun fact, the issue with the inability to create a Windows To Go installation with Rufus from the ISO downloaded from the media creation tool was a problem with Rufus, which was subsequently fixed. Also performance should now be a lot better even using an SD card given the much better optimizations with windows RAM caching and To Go compatibility. I have a mini-ryzen build that I've been running exclusively off a 32gb usb 3.0 cheapo drive from amazon and it works better than my 7200rpm WD black 1tb drive so that's something
    These videos are enjoyable, but just like the multi-cpu builds, the implementation is never quite optimal, and combing through the comments you can learn a lot about how others have worked with the windows scheduler to get pretty good performance off of many-core builds. And that was before the windows scheduler was given appropriate optimizations to prioritize higher speed cores for demanding content like with android and the Big/small core complexes. It'd be nice to see an updated video on the opteron/xeon many-core builds with all of these things taken into account, and even some more Windows To Go content, as the niche is what I believe LTT excels at covering, even if not to the best of its interest.

    11:40: Not "anomalies", just loading a resource for the first time. So if a game isn't loading a lot of stuff dynamically, it would be as smooth as on an SSD. But most games load stuff dynamically, especially games that uses very detailed environments.
    I'd also like to add that most Linux file-systems are faster than anything from Windows, and XFS can actually increase i/o to a great extent compared to other file-systems, especially for spinning drives. But I think Linux would handle everything from an SD card a lot better. Especially as it's not updating secretly in the background.

      Yeah. Doom is a really well optimized game when it comes to its assets/memory management. If you got the right amount of RAM and VRAM to store all the level's rendering and sound data, the only data that gets streamed from the storage is some of the audio files (musics for example) and Shader's compilation and recompilation (which is when the texture are then stored in the RAM or VRAM based on what's done with them.)
      Any games that put heavy emphasis toward the storage content would clearly suffer from this setup. I would be curious about how a game like No Man Sky would fare in this setup.

    13:25 I know that feel Linus, yesterday I was shopping for a mini usb cable for some shitty iPhone dock I have at work, and the girl working at the store was like "Ummm there's no such thing as a mini usb, you have a micro usb, lightning and type c" I just mumbled something like "It's a older standard" and left the store because I could literally feel my hair turning gray, damn I feel it only was 2-3 years ago I used a mini usb cable for my HTC Wizard

    As someone who has a very modern rig with an SSD, and an older rig with a WD "Green" 5400rpm HDD, this is what I hate about Windows 7, 8 and 10. It's not "entirely" the drive's fault. Yes, Windows runs like crap on slower drives, but I've installed other OS's like Linux and macOS on the same drive, and they didn't perform anywhere NEAR as badly. As you clearly just saw, Windows tries to do a million little reads and writes at the same time as soon as it boots up, and taxes the drive without actually getting hardly any real apparent usage on the Task Manager. The other OS's don't "flood" the drive with a million tasks at once on boot. Modern Windows in general just expects an SSD with insane random read/write performance. And it makes older or slower drives look much worse than they actually are.

      It's still advisable to always install from the latest ISO instead of using a super old one and having it update, nobody should do that. It's cleaner and faster, plus there are SOME (very few, but still) features that are actually only enabled if you fresh install a newer version of Windows 10 but that are DISABLED by default when you do an upgrade (for example, Upgraded installs will still have SMB1 enabled while fresh installs disallow it by default and fresh installs will also come with a new and prettier theme for the command prompt while upgrades keep the old theme)

    Modified code - separate from the read only C:/Windows directory, personal files separate from the Windows/Modified/and Programs.
    Windows needs a clean update / redesign to run from a flash drive, keychain thumb drive & 8GB of RAM. This should be easy, as a default setup choice - Option X: Install windows to a Flash Drive and run from a Read Only Directory.
