The biggest upgrade for me in this game was going from an HDD to an SSD. It actually increased my FPS, which I didn't think it'd do. I run i5 3570k at 4.5ghz and with the HDD I was running SC2 max settings at 70fps starting and 30s during intensive battles. It also had big stutters in the first game. With the SSD it's 90-100 fps to start off and 50 during intensive battles, and smooth as silk from the first time I play.

It cant improve your FPS, only lessen stutters etc due to loading assets if you didnt run the preloader or something. Its just placebo effect

I've tested this, man. I've reformated my comp with HDD, loaded up only fresh drivers and SC2 on my comp and played SC2 and had 30-70 FPS. Got the SDD and did the same exact thing and it increased FPS by around 20. Same procedure too. I load up Ohana and put the ingame FPS meter on, and it's instantly 20 FPS difference. I play against computer, get a 200 army and push enemy and check FPS during this time, too. Same comp, same drivers, and same freshly formatted drive and windows install.
