Disabling Direct Storage in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is fairly easy and enables some interesting comparison between Off and On. The results are actually a bit bizarre...

Note that I am using a GPU that does not support GPU Decompression, which means that decompression is handled by the CPU here. I have seen some comparisons with GPUs that support Decompression, where turning off Direct Storage improves performance!

Game installed on a Kingston NV2 SSD 1TB M.2 NVMe PCI Express 4.0 (3.5GB/s READ) and Windows 11 Pro is used!
