SSD and gaming

Current got a WD Black 1tb 64mb cache sata III.

Will i see a noticeable performance improvement in games going to SSD?

From what i have read SSD makes little difference in games, besides load times. Although i havent personally used one.

I like having my games on SSD, The loading time improvements are noticeable.
Of course, it's all down to what you can afford, SSD for games is nice, whilst SSD for OS/Apps is essential (or at least it'll feel that way once you get used to having one)

Depends on the game. If it has lots of loading screens like an MMO or loading levels in a FPS then you will certainly notice the difference

When I play BF2, I was always used to get the vehicles on spawn before anyone else. Now that other people also have SSD, the race is closer but I still usually get em as long as I spawn in the right place!
