I saw a massive difference, had my original target drive set as an hdd, could barely open a menu without a hangup, dialog and character face movements suffered as well.
I moved the entire file over to my ssd and it was a night and day difference. No lag issues anymore.
This won’t hold true if your RAM gets to the limit, and you end up creeping into swap space. If you do, everything becomes a potentially streamed asset! While certainly not ideal, you’ll feel it harder on a HDD vs. SSD. Remember, you need at least 16GB of RAM for this monster, which these days is basically standard on most PCs (and about 70% of all Steam users as of August have no more than 16).
Is the performance difference big if you play from HDD or SSD?
I’ve seen posts elsewhere that say 5min+ loading screens on HDD that tried to install it to their HDDs. game does a LOT of asset streaming.

There should be no performance difference. The only difference should be in loading screens and possibly pop-in from streamed assets.

Is the game generally demanding, though? Don’t exactly have a top of the line setup.
I have a 2070 Super and am running it well.
