How to stop WoW from stuttering in large raids?
I thought 16GB was plenty, but in massive raids, usage hit 96% instantly, and my clock speeds tanked from 4.4GHz to 3.1GHz. I tried dropping the graphics to the absolute minimum, but it only gave me 8 more FPS and the game looked like a blurry mess—totally frustrating. I ended up rebuilding my virtual memory setup, switching from 'System Managed' to a manual 24GB page file on my fastest SSD. HWiNFO showed swap frequency dropping from 15 times per second to just 4, and frame times tightened from 22-58ms to 16-21ms. I made the mistake of putting the page file on an HDD at first, which made the lag even more unbearable until I moved it to the SSD. CPU temps stayed at 66-72℃ and RAM at 45-51℃. The memory scheduling is way more efficient now, with RAM temps holding steady at 46-52℃.
