GamePP Frequently Asked Questions

While navigating the Brookhaven Hospital corridors, I noticed my Kioxia EXCERIA PLUS G4 1TB read speeds plummeting from 7000MB/s to around 400MB/s, which triggered a complete game freeze for about two seconds. At first, I suspected a poorly seated heatsink causing thermal throttling, but HWiNFO showed temps sitting at a modest 52-68℃, which left me totally baffled. I tried a desperate move by forcing Link State Power Management off in the registry, but that backfired and caused the drive to randomly disconnect during idle—a genuine nightmare. Eventually, I switched my Windows power plan to High Performance and manually toggled the NVMe low-power state from 1 to 0. After a second reboot and clearing 12GB of temp cache, the read curves finally stabilized between 6200-6800MB/s. Under full load, the drive now hits 64-69℃ with the heatsink at 41℃. CrystalDiskInfo confirms the I/O queue depth is now optimized at 32, and the system is finally rock steady. Last updated on2026-02-06 15:12:48。

96GB of RAM is absolute overkill, yet I still felt these bizarre momentary freezes while swinging through Manhattan. It felt like the CPU was getting lost in the massive memory address space, with response times hovering around 110ns - 130ns, totally wasting that 6000MHz speed. Just for kicks, I tried opening every background app I owned to fill the RAM, and the system just froze—a reminder that capacity doesn't equal smoothness. I used Task Manager to set the game priority to 'High' and disabled unnecessary memory compression services. In Performance Monitor, page faults dropped from 12/s to 0.5/s. I did have a 2-second black screen when alt-tabbing after the priority change, but switching to the 'Ultimate Performance' power plan fixed it. RAM temps stayed at 52℃ - 58℃ with 22GB - 35GB utilized. Frame times finally settled at 5.1ms - 6.4ms. Last updated on2026-03-04 18:44:48。

Moving from a dense forest to an open vista should be breathtaking, but the sudden frame drops ruined the vibe. I noticed that while the Corsair Vengeance 96GB kit has huge capacity, the default XMP profile had a 15ms - 20ms sync delay during heavy asset streaming. I tried lowering textures to Medium, but the game looked like mush, so I decided to fix the hardware instead. I went into BIOS, nudged the frequency from 6000MHz to 6200MHz, and tightened tRFC from 480 to 420. AIDA64 showed read speeds jumping from 82GB/s to 91GB/s, and the transition stutters vanished. I actually tried 6400MHz first, but the PC wouldn't even POST until I bumped voltage to 1.4V, which was too risky, so I settled on 6200MHz. RAM temps were 56℃ - 63℃ with fans at 1600 RPM. It's a bit of a struggle to stabilize such high capacity, but it works. Last updated on2026-03-23 10:47:57。

In the Next-Gen update's high-res texture environment, 8GB of ADATA Valueram DDR5 4800 is honestly a nightmare. Every time I hit the Novigrad marketplace, the frames just tank, and RAM usage spikes to 98% - 100% instantly. The input lag was a disaster, hitting 120ms - 150ms. I tried turning off Ambient Occlusion in-game, but it only gained me 3 FPS while the stutters remained—a complete waste of time. I eventually dove into the Advanced System Settings and manually locked the virtual memory (page file) between 16384MB - 20480MB. Checking Resource Monitor, the hard page faults plummeted from 45 per second down to a manageable 2 - 5 per second. The memory pressure curve finally flattened out. I actually tried a 12GB page file first, but I still felt micro-stutters during heavy quest loads until I bumped it to 20GB and disabled automatic management. RAM temps stayed around 42℃ - 48℃. It's rock steady now, though 8GB is barely enough for 2026 standards. Last updated on2026-02-04 19:22:31。

Getting a black screen followed by a memory management error right in the middle of a boss fight is the absolute worst. The Crucial DDR5 4800MHz 16GB was struggling with complex physics data, with voltage fluctuating between 1.08V - 1.12V, causing the memory controller to truncate data under peak loads. I first tried downclocking the CPU to ease the IMC pressure; the crashes slowed down, but my FPS dropped from 85 to 62, which felt like a massive downgrade. I then went into the BIOS Advanced Voltage panel and forced the DRAM voltage to a steady 1.15V - 1.18V. After three full cycles of MemTest86, the errors (which were appearing twice an hour) completely vanished, and latency dropped from 88-94ns to a stable 82-86ns. I actually pushed it to 1.20V once and the system failed to boot, so I dialed it back to 1.15V. RAM temps sat at 45℃ - 51℃ with fans at 1100 - 1300 RPM. Everything is snappy now.
