Why are scene transitions laggy in Mass Effect (New) on my KingBank Soarblade RGB DDR5 6000 setup?

The loading bar stalled while crossing ruins, and I felt annoyed by the noticeable lag. I initially adjusted the queue depth to 128, but it had no effect, and the latency remained high. I increased the queue depth to 256 and enabled the TRIM strategy using the GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Config. 4K random read speed increased from 50MB/s to 75MB/s per CrystalDiskMark, and transition time dropped to 3 seconds.
