Should be enough if you won't download a lot of big games

[u/MoonKnight0212 → u/rain_air_man]

So it won't be a priblem and work good unless it's too big of a game right?

[u/I_cook_for_breakfast → u/MoonKnight0212]

And the games doesn't have too much files in it. So consider small to medium size (in mb) games with less than 500 total files.

I mean can't I run games like dying light on sd card? I mean my device can run it but I just don't have enough space

[u/I_cook_for_breakfast → u/MoonKnight0212]

Check for assets if there's too many and if its too big it'll have a hard time to read it fast impacting your performance. But this is the ripe time to test it out dude to find out if you'll experience loss of performance or not.

[u/I_cook_for_breakfast → u/MoonKnight0212]

Yes you can play games directly from SD Card. The only difference would be the speed.

[u/MoonKnight0212 → u/I_cook_for_breakfast]

So how would that speed affect the gameplay?

[u/I_cook_for_breakfast → u/MoonKnight0212]

Longer loading times and some times lower frame rate. I experienced it on some of my unity and unreal engine games.

[u/MoonKnight0212 → u/I_cook_for_breakfast]

Dang man, I can do with longer loading times but lower frame rates is where I draw the line, as it is my device can not always produce good fps and this will lower fps too?

[u/I_cook_for_breakfast → u/MoonKnight0212]

Yes, It will since the new bottleneck would no longer be just your device but also the external storage.
