Is Gear mode the fix for Asgard Thor DDR5 6400 in God of War?
I can finally face the Nine Realms without the game choking. The sync settings were a pain, but the optimization actually saved my frame rate, which feels amazing. The Asgard Thor DDR5 6400 was struggling in Gear 1 mode with XMP enabled, forcing the system to run constant error corrections in the background. This caused frame times to jump wildly between 14-35ms. I tried updating every single driver in Windows first, but it only gave me a pathetic 2 FPS boost—totally unacceptable. I went into the BIOS, forced Gear 2, and nudged the VDDQ voltage from 1.25V to 1.35V. RTSS showed the frame time curve instantly collapsing into a stable 11-15ms range, and the drops vanished. To be fair, switching to Gear 2 initially cost me about 5GB/s in bandwidth, so I manually overclocked the frequency to 6600MHz to make up for it. Temps sat between 52-60℃ with almost zero voltage ripple. MemTest86 confirmed the sync mode switch was successful, and temps stayed locked at 52-60℃.
