Should I update firmware for Zhitai TiPro9000 in Far Cry 6?
Just as the jungle foliage starts to pop in, the read speed would tank, causing the screen to twitch—it was infuriating. The old firmware on the Zhitai TiPro9000 Limited Edition had some instruction set conflicts with 4K random reads, making the I/O wait times jump between 15-40ms. I tried disabling Windows Fast Startup, which made the PC boot faster but did absolutely nothing for the in-game lag—total miss on the root cause. I eventually used the official management tool to flash the latest firmware and re-aligned the disk partitions. CrystalDiskMark showed random reads climbing from 60MB/s to 85-92MB/s, and loading times dropped by nearly 4 seconds. I did run into a 5-second drive detection lag after the flash, but updating the motherboard chipset drivers killed that issue. Temps are now a steady 42-50℃ with a very flat read/write curve. Comparing the load times now, the firmware swap was a lifesaver.
