    Downlaoding/Updating Games Causes Performance Loss


    Hi,

    I made a new PC a while back and the one thing I do notice is when I DL a game or update it from an Launch Pad or similar Game launching program. My CPU usage is tops 15% maybe 25% but my desktop reaction is slowed I have to wait for folders or programs to open. It makes no sense to me why this happens. Updating a game or patching it should not cause this much slow down...should it?

    It is your hard drive. I/O is what is causing your computer to run slow. A Hard Drive can only handle so much.
