My Death Stranding 2 stutters when loading huge maps with DDR3 1600, should I switch to high performance mode?

It was a total game-changer! The moment I flipped the power plan from Balanced to High Performance, those tiny hitches while carrying cargo just vanished. This ADATA DDR3 1600 kit is seriously outdated for modern assets, causing the CPU to idle for 15-30ms while waiting for the RAM to respond. I first tried lowering the resolution to ease the load, but the game looked like an oil painting and the efficiency was terrible. I then went into the BIOS, locked the timings to the lowest latency mode, and stripped away all unnecessary Windows visual effects. In my tests, the frame generation time dropped from 22-48ms to 16-24ms, making the controls feel way more responsive. The motherboard temp rose by 5℃ due to the voltage bump, but I fixed that by optimizing my case airflow. RAM temps are now steady at 45-52℃. Hardware monitoring shows the throughput is much better, and the performance mode switch is a success.
