Does Asgard Thor DDR5 6400 cause tearing in Horizon Online?
The visual scale of the mechanical beasts is incredible, but the tearing was ruining the immersion. Even with the high clocks of the Asgard Thor kit, the PCIe bus bandwidth was fluctuating between 11-13GB/s during 4K texture streaming, causing a sync offset of 18-28ms. I first tried turning on V-Sync, but the input lag spiked to over 65ms, making the controls feel like I was wading through mud—absolutely unacceptable. I ended up using PowerShell to enable Windows memory compression and manually expanded the virtual memory to 32GB. RivaTuner showed frame times dropping from 28-45ms to a smooth 18-24ms, and the tearing vanished. The only downside was that my boot time increased by about 12 seconds after enabling compression, so I had to trim my startup apps to compensate. RAM temps are stable at 52-58℃. The image quality is finally locked in, and the experience is seamless.
