Just think how slow the spinner would be without direct storage.
Quoting myself, to add some more results (including the quote's).
12400f+3060ti+Gigabyte Aorus 7000s 1TB (nvme pcie 4.0) = 13.30GB/sec
12400f+3060ti+Crucial MX500 1TB (sata)= 2.05GB/sec
8600k+1070+Gammix S11 pro 1TB(nvme pci 3.0)=1.96GB/sec
8600k+1070+Samsung EVO 850 512GB(sata)=1.91GB/sec
2500k+Radeon 7950+Patriot P210 256GB(sata)=1.34GB/sec
Regarding the 8600k+GTX 1070, son, I'm disappoint. Dunno why, I was expecting better. Maybe because in general these two systems provide me with equal gaming experience, but at different resolutions (different houses). It seems the 1070 is the culprit, but I am having some tiny reservations, because that nvme is on a pcie 3.0 card, which is controlled by the chipset and not the cpu. It benchmarks OK with convensional storage benchmarks though, so I guess it's the gpu.
The MX500 and EVO results, both being sata and so close, I think means that a sata drive is good enough up to a GTX 1070. Also, the MX500 is limited by itself on the 3060ti, while the Gammix is limited by the 1070 I think. I'll see on the next primary gpu upgrade, which will upgrade all systems by one tier up (3060ti goes in the 8600k system etc).
Very surprised with the 2500k+7950 system. I didn't expect it to even run. But it did and it was not too shabby for a 12yo cpu and a 11yo gpu. Also for whatever reason, the avocado scrolling was the smoothest of all systems. Have no idea why.
I tried to run it on the work's i5-8400 system (only igp), but it doesn't even run. GPUz says Direct X 12_1 compatibility while the 7950 is DX12_0, so it can't be it.
Next and final step, will be a GTX 970 testing.
Crikey that's a big improvement.12400f+3060ti+Gigabyte Aorus 7000s 1TB (nvme pcie 4.0) = 13.30GB/sec
12400f+3060ti+Crucial MX500 1TB (sata)= 2.05GB/sec
Found out today about datamined DS code in D4. Looking back to what I saw in the beta, it does make more sense now as the game allocates lots of VRAM and RAM. It's an open world title which probably tries to avoid any loading screen on the main map. The map is fairly big, and it will only grow bigger with more expansions.in June, Diablo 4 will reportedly use it as well.

It is a good candidate for DS and it will be an interesting benchmark as the game advertises rather low CPU requirements.
I looked yesterday when I saw your post I haven't found a new version based on 1.2 anywhere on the internet. So may not be publicly released yet.
I downloaded the update_to_1.2.0 branch and compiled it locally. It does not appear finished. Results were unchanged that I can tell:I looked yesterday when I saw your post I haven't found a new version based on 1.2 anywhere on the internet. So may not be publicly released yet.
Quoting myself to add two new tests, with my newly acquired rx6600.
So my personal table becomes
12400f+3060ti+Gigabyte Aorus 7000s 1TB (nvme pcie 4.0) = 13.30GB/sec
12400f+3060ti+Crucial MX500 1TB (sata)= 2.05GB/sec
8600k+1070+Gammix S11 pro 1TB(nvme pci 3.0)=1.96GB/sec
8600k+1070+Samsung EVO 850 512GB(sata)=1.91GB/sec
2500k+Radeon 7950+Patriot P210 256GB(sata)=1.34GB/sec
2700k+6600+Sandisk Ultra 256GB(sata)=1.85GB/sec
8600k+6600+Gammix S11 pro 1TB(nvme pci 3.0)=4.36GB/sec
The 8600k system, jumped from 1.96GB/sec with the 1070, to 4.36GB/sec with the 6600, which is nice.
Curious question: your last Radeon is the 7950. Any reason why you don't seem to want to try Radeon again?Next test will be the 3060ti with the gen3 Gammix 1TB.
I do have a 6600 though, right now. And I would have gone for the 7800XT instead of the 4070ti, if it was available.The 7900s do not fit my case or psu unfortunately.Curious question: your last Radeon is the 7950. Any reason why you don't seem to want to try Radeon again?
Wow. So many screenshots! You take your hobby seriously!(it's getting warmer in Greece) and its quite good.
Here are some screenshots (may include spoilers).

If you trust your PC to my visual studio skills I uploaded a copy: update_to_1.2.0 branch
I am really struggling to find a free site to upload something to share, but I just rebuilt it from the current code which seems even faster so please try this link: https://uploadnow.io/f/YwWxh03Link to file shows it being deleted my mang.
