Skyrim also has a great many loading screens, and you can greatly diminish the time spent on these screens by installing Skyrim on a solid-state drive (SDD), as well as increasing overall performance of the game. When Purchasing an SSD, SATA 6GB/s is the fastest available; however, make sure your motherboard supports it natively through AHCI. You can set it up to use AHCI in BIOS and it must be done before OS installation, otherwise you will find your SSD running in emulated IDE mode with diminished speeds. If your motherboard doesn't support the 6GB/s transfer speeds, 3GB/s is the next best option. | ||
