SSD verse 7200RPM drive? Fallout New Vegas issue.

Hello,

By accident I installed Fallout New Vegas on my 7200rpm Western Digital Caviar Back hard drive (which is an excllent drive in general). How I noticed in Fallout New Vegas there are many pop ups in the background environment, especially in large areas (most of the game). I was wondering if I installed Fallout NV on my 80GB Intel X25-M - Solid State Drive, in addition to speeding up load times, would the pop ups be reduced or is this how the game is? I don't remeber Fallout 3 on pc, on a different 7200rpm drive of mine having as many pop ups.

Overall my game runs perfectly smoothly , i have a quad core i5 processor, 8gb ram, gtx 480 and all updated drivers on Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. Any help would be appreciated.

Pop-up is a limitation of the game engine used not how fast your hard drive is, obviously held back by the simultaneous development on consoles. Yes, load times would be faster but not by much anyway.

EDIT: Also steam only installs games on the default "common" folder on the Steam directory, you'd have to move your entire Steam folder to the other hard drive. Unless you're using a pirated version.

to reduce pop ups of buildings and such their are FOR SURE fallout 3 mods to fix it. some fallout 3 mods actually work with new vegas fine so u should try them out or just search new vegas mods. also in settings for the game there is a option to tinker on the draw distance of objects . for mods on fallout new vegas check this website out
