Fixing NVMe I/O Latency
Exploring eerie corridors of an abandoned space station, I noticed a 0.x second freeze when loading new areas despite using an NVMe drive. It totally killed the vibe. I tried enabling write cache flushing in Windows, but loading times actually increased by 3 seconds and slight screen tearing appeared. I then used GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Configuration to raise the read queue from 32 to 128. Random read response converged to 12-15ms per CrystalDiskMark, and drive temperature stayed at 42-48℃ per HWMonitor, while AIDA64 showed latency dropped from 18-42ms to 15ms
