How to stop resource hogging during intense team fights?
When the team fight kicks off, my fans ramp up instantly and the WD Black SN850X hits a command bottleneck, making the controls feel like they're underwater. I tried messing with the virtual memory first, but it was a total waste of time; the cache recovery just couldn't keep up. HWiNFO showed my frames jumping erratically between 46 FPS - 62 FPS. I eventually went into Task Manager, hit the Details tab, right-clicked the game process, and set the priority to High, while running a memory cleaner to flush the junk. I saw the memory recovery hit between 2.9GB - 4.5GB, and the stuttering in the frame time graph finally flattened out. One heads-up: if you don't set your power plan to High Performance, voltage dips will still cause micro-stutters, and you might hear that annoying coil whine. HWiNFO confirmed PCH temps stayed between 49℃ - 54℃ with read/write latency at 1.2ms - 2.1ms. Even so, in massive 10-man brawls, there's still a tiny bit of frame dropping, which is probably just the physical limit of the bus bandwidth.
