Primocache & Gaming
Posted: Mon Sep 11, 2023 10:19 am
Hello,
Just recently playing starfield I have been getting unexplained crashes to desktop. I have done all the typica inspections from checking temps, drivers, turning off all mods, checked for critical windows errors, etc. Been this way since almost the beginning of the game.
I am now starting to wonder if its my cache setup.
I currently have a WD Black 850 NVME caching my 8TB WD Black HD full of games. The entire nvme is dedicated to caching my gaming hard drive. I wish larger nvme's were cheaper, as I have the affliction of having a lot of games installed at once, as I like to hop around between them.
Haven't had any issues before with this setup, but is there a chance with starfields high requirements regarding storage, that primocache is causing an issue?
Appreciate your time and input
