Question / Help SSD ans streaming

[Phobie]

Hello,

Before when I tried to stream, I was laggy ingame (LoL).
I just bought a SSD, if Windows, the game and OBS are on the SSF, does it improve my performances ?

Thanks for your help

The usage of any form of harddrive is extremely limited (as in negligible) from a streaming/OBS point of view. Your general system performance outside of streaming will probably improve quite a bit tho :)

My game was 80fps and with the SSD it's 100fps.
So SSD improve the game but not the streaming ?

It only improves loading times.

What Osiris said.

Streaming is all about CPU, compressing however-captured live media and sending it off to a server wherever it may be. Nothing is stored or read from disk (apart from overlays, but that's a one time read of next to no data) If you record what you stream, then it's a whole other story :)
