Game Load Time Testing

Shadowbringers

Game Load Time Testing
To test game load times we used the benchmark for the game title Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers that was released in July 2019. We bumped up the resolution from 1080P to 1440P, but other than that we left all the settings at their stock values. Pretty much every SSD on the market today claims to be aimed at gamers, so this test shows you how the drives we tested perform on an actual game title in a series that every gamer has heard of.

ADATA Swordfish 1TB SSD Game Level Load Time

Benchmark Results: The ADATA Swordfish is a low-cost drive, so some gamers might be thinking about picking this drive up as a secondary drive to store games and files on. The Swordfish 1TB drive finished this benchmark with a level load time of 16.49 seconds, which is a touch on the slower side.
