I originally installed this on a SATA SSD and noticed it hitting 500MB/s when loading (the limit of SATA). So I moved it to an NVMe SSD to get more performance. It hit 555MB/s.
I’ve noticed something going on but it doesn’t really bother me. My fps might drop from like 50 down to 30ish for a second here and there. Nothing that interferes with playing the game. Article says it’s during traversal, specifically, so when you’re running from one place to another, not in the middle of a fight.
I get it on load in to cities, specifically Akila. On console too, which seemed decently well insulated to the GPU bugs. It's for maybe two seconds. Compared to other games I play, two seconds of frame drops from 30 fps to 21 fps is negligible so I don't really care. I'm just sprinting to a quest marker anyway, I'm not missing anything.
I never noticed stuttering in Akila, but man did that first mission with Sam there CTD'd like a mother fucker. I had more crashes in that one mission than playing the rest of the game so far.
I've been pretty insulated from bugs so far, so I may just be lucky. On console; I've had one crash and maybe 4-5 instances of freezing for like ~5 seconds, then resuming without issue. Only "bug" I'd say is once Andreja went stealth, then her head stayed stealth but the rest of her didn't. Dismissing and reacquiring her as a follower fixed it; no restart or anything.
I put it on my M.2 and I haven’t seen any stuttering at all; and I’m even playing with an unsupported GPU (1660 Super). This is by far the smoothest a Bethesda game has ever been at launch for me, and I’ve been a fan since the release of Morrowind.
Same! Installed on am m.2, playing on a 1080ti, best launch experience since Morrowind for sure. I’ve had a few crashes here and there but for the most part it’s very solid for Bethesda
