Did you notice any real difference in games and apps?

Thinking of upgrading my old 120gb Sata 3 ssd (450 read /450 write) to 2TB pcie3 NVME (3500 read /3000 write).

Currently I use the SSD just as my windows boot drive but I was thinking of getting the NVME to put windows and multiplayer games (FPS & MMO's) on
 
Update: I've been reluctant to get an Nvme due to people saying there's little real world difference over an SSD. Indeed many people on this thread have said the same thing.

Anyway I got a good deal on a 2tb WD SN770 Nvme at the weekend and I'm blown away as to how fast it is compared to my old SSD. For example windows 11 now boots in 6 seconds. Also in elder Scrolls online travelling between wayshines used to take 10 seconds, now it takes 2 seconds, same with switching between characters. Not had chance to try other games yet but I'm happy with it
 
Oh yes Eddie - hibernate - forgot about that. Couple of times I've come home and PC is instant on, and I've thought "That's odd" then it occurred to me after it was the NVME
