How to optimize RAM timings for Avowed on ASUS TUF B760M?
It's a night and day difference; after tweaking the memory voltage offset, those annoying hitches during combat just vanished. Looking back, the ASUS TUF B760M-PLUS D4 was struggling with asset streaming, with memory latency swinging wildly between 85-98ns. I tried increasing the page file size first, but that actually made the system response lag by about 2 seconds—totally frustrating. I eventually went into the BIOS, switched the memory profile from Auto to Manual, and tightened the primary timings from 22-22-22-52 down to 16-18-18-38, while bumping voltage to 1.35V. RivaTuner showed frame times drop from 18-32ms to a tight 9-13ms. I actually bricked the boot sequence for a minute by pushing tRAS too low, but loosening it to 42 fixed it. RAM temps are around 44-50℃. The mode switch is successful and the game feels amazing.
