Congrats!

My Samsung 840 Evo Read and Random Read speeds are above what was advertised but my Write and Random Write speeds have dropped almost 30%. I have already run the Performance restoration download to counter the old files bug but I really don't know what's going on. This happened after I moved from Windows Defender to Kaspersky as well as updated my AMD drivers. I think the fact I fixed BF4 5-6 times due to DirectX errors have something to do with it.

So do I redo the Performance restoration again? The read speeds are all fantastically above what samsung advertised but write is not. Sigh. But otherwise there is no fully noticeable hit on overall performance though. I do notice my browsers taking a tiny slight longer time to open.

And yeah, the constant crashing happens after the recent patch. I gave up fixing the game so I deleted the whole bloody file and just reinstalled. My regret was upgrading to newer Omega drivers in the process. Now BF4 stutters like mad.

The killcam bug pisses me off the most. I'll be having a fantastic game on a epic kill spree and this thing on schedule Will hit me. Like WTF.

I found the issue to all my problems. It's my damned TP Link Wifi dongle and it's drivers. It keeps causing random internet connection or speed drops, leading to GPU driver crashes as it can't keep up, and also BSOD my PC 3-4 times already.

My SSD is pretty much back to normal now except random write which is still 40% lower than stated but everything else is faster than advertised.

BF4 doesn't stutter much now. 2-3KD per round easy.

Sorry off topic as well, but damn man even Windows themselves said the TP Link drivers and configuration tools are incompatible. Problem started after a recent Windows update where everything went to shits. Sigh. Using powerline now, I get slower speeds but I get back my very badly missed stability. Will upgrade the power lines and internet cables to better ones. Will sell of my d link router and tp link dongle.

As for samsung, I do hope they come out with a further patch to solve my random write speed drops. Sometimes I only get 30K IOPS which is half of what was advertised.

You lucky you. Mine is between two evils.

Wifi:
- unstable as fark.
- retarded BSOD causing drivers
- but full 2MBps real download speed.

Homeplug
- Stable
- instant connection
- but speed drops to 600KBps.

Homeplug bro, the 150Mbps one with CAT5e cables. Ain't the fastest thing out of the box. :'(

I think it was first day kinda thing. Now my speed has doubled back after testing. Haha. Still slower than my 5Ghz Dual Band wifi speed though. But good enough. Finally got the stability I missed for months. Easily wrecking people in BF4 like heck for the last two days with 3-4KD.

Meh, I think I'll just get new Powerlines since this ones belong to my boss and is one of the older models.

One thing I did notice though. From cold start to Windows is faster now. But it takes slightly longer to shut down. Dafuq is with my PC.

But yeah, no more crashes, BSOD or software glitches ever since I got rid of the TP Link drivers.
