MODERATORS
The Gothic 3 community made a extensive study about stutter and optimization steps for HDD vs. SSD (no stutter) in ca. 2010ish for a game from 2006. So, generally for 3D games, yes, except if you compress textures in a trade for higher CPU usage.
Btw, this game looks surprisingly good with the right tweaks atop the vommunity fixes.
