Fixing memory bandwidth bottlenecks on Kingbank Yin Jue 3600?
The second my base grew, the frame rate turned into a slideshow. It was almost impressive how bad it got. I checked my specs and realized my Kingbank Yin Jue 32GB was running in single-channel mode because I messed up the slots, cutting my bandwidth down to a pathetic 22-26GB/s. I spent an hour updating GPU drivers three times thinking that was the issue, while my FPS was wildly jumping between 45 and 115—what a complete waste of time. I ripped the RAM out, reseated them in the correct slots for dual-channel, and locked the frequency at 3600MHz. CPU-Z showed bandwidth instantly leaping to 44-48GB/s, and my 1% lows jumped from 32 FPS to 68 FPS. I actually failed to boot the first time I tried moving them until I finally read the motherboard manual. CPU temps are now steady at 65-71℃ and the game is finally playable. The in-game performance overlay shows a flat frame time curve, with RAM temps sitting at 52-56℃.
