Hi!

I have two OCG agility 3 and a Samsung EVO 840 on a ASUS Z97-P.

There is a certain game (skyrim modded) that alone uses atleast 8gb of pagefile at any time. This can cause long loading screens and a certain kind of stuttering when load from page file. Which setup would be better for skyrim and why?
1. 2 OCG Agility 3 in raid_0
2. Samsung 840 EVO.

Should I force the page file to be on the same SSD as skyrim for optimal results or just let windows handle it? Should I have windows on the same SSD as Skyrim as I currently do on the raid_0 for optimal results?

Note: One problem I had when googling is that I can't find any benchmarks for OCG agility 3 on new chipsets, which may perform better than then they currently are with the X58 marvel controllers I currently have.

Thanks!
 
How much RAM does your system have? If you are hitting page file you could use more memory.

Ultimately I would think the raid0 may be faster, but it probably won't be noticeable.

In my prior build with a X58 I had only 6 gb, with my new Z97 build I have an 8 gb stick, planning to buy 24 gb more thanksgiving weekend.
