I have a pretty reasonable setup for playing the game - generally no lag issues once I'm in the game playing, but the load times are consistently atrocious. For a while I thought it was just the UI incorrectly stating how quickly all the other players loaded the game, but I've had a few people comment that my load times are awful.
Any guidance out there? AMD drivers? A Steam install issue? Never had this problem on CoH1, and this problem has persisted across SSD (went from Intel to a Samsung 850)
EDIT - I am not good with computer
Terrible Load Times - SSD - i7 - HD7950 - 8GB RAM

your best bet is to try lowering each of the settings to minimum one at a time. (while leaving the others as they are) then you can find out which setting is causing the most load time, and then hopefully go from there.
I imagine the amount of ram your video card has and other video card factors play a significant role and its not just about hard drive speed.

If it's persisted across a fresh install (SSD change) it's probably a software conflict with an antivirus or something along those lines.

really the only other thing I can think of - I cant imagine its a settings thing for the graphics card, its not rendering anything, mostly CPU cycles.

I find that my SSD seems to make very little difference in load times. I had the game on my SSD but later put it on my normal 1 TB HDD and the load time doesn't seem to have changed a lot.
I'm unsure what that means for the bottle neck but load times are really strange sometimes.

I have used SSD for years it's probably this:

The PTRS's are fine as they are. Whenever i'm up against Guard Infantry, I always have to be careful with my vehicles or the Guards will completely destroy them. Good range, good damage and fairly cheap; if anything, the PTRS should nerfed since it's ridiculously good for the price. Even in the hands of Conscripts, the PTRS's are extremely potent.

Check your ram usage under Windows Task Manager > Performance. See if there's any free memory. CoH2 takes up about 2 gigs.
Also, if you're using Nehalem i7 (i7-9xx), you may want to overclock it a bit.

SSD is less than half full (129 GB free of 238 formatted storage) - and low free space on SSDs generally slows down write speeds much more appreciably than read speeds

PFFFFFFFFFT - I figured it out, and if it wasnt so sad it would be funny.
after poking around my system for the past few hours, I stumbled on the fact that my CPU ratio was set to 16.... so it was maxing at 1.6 GHz

Might as well crank it to 4.4. 
While you're at it, make sure all 4 cores are active and HT is activated. Check with CPU-Z.

I have to add that GPU HD 7950 is one of the best solutions for CoH 2. I have compared performance with NVIDIA 670 and 7950 , the letter has turned more productive. No problems with amd drivers at all.
I will trin to find tests where AND GPU pefome slightly better then NVIDIA's counterparts. Something wrong with you SSD controlers , i think.
