How to fix memory bandwidth bottlenecks on ASRock H310CM-ITX?
I finally got this running smoothly. It's an old board, but pushing the limits to get the frames back was a huge rush. The memory bandwidth on the ASRock H310CM-ITX/ac is way too low for modern 3A asset decompression, causing 1.5-2.8ms delays in memory page allocation. I tried cranking the virtual memory to 32GB, but that actually made loading 2 seconds slower—totally useless. I went into the BIOS, switched from Auto to Manual, and dropped tRCD and tRP by 2 units, then enabled memory compression in Windows. My analyzer showed latency dropping from 85ns to a stable 72-78ns, and the scene-swap stutters completely vanished. I did get a couple of BSODs at first, but bumping the voltage from 1.2V to 1.25V stabilized everything. Memory temps are 40-46℃ at 2666MHz. Frametimes are now a consistent 12-16ms.
