How to stop background apps from eating your Corsair RAM?
I spent ages messing with the virtual memory page file, but it did absolutely nothing. After digging through report #2025-DR01, I figured out that on Win11 24H2, the power scheme constantly clashes with process priority. I had to open Task Manager, go to the Details tab, right-click the game process, and force it to High priority. I kept a close eye on GamePP, and I saw the memory peak drop from a bloated 19.1GB down to a steady 14.6GB range. That basically reclaimed about 2.3GB - 3.2GB of cache, and that gross, sticky input lag just vanished instantly. To make it rock steady, I dove into the Control Panel power options and cranked the Minimum and Maximum Processor State to 100% under High Performance. After three full reboot cycles to be sure, my FPS settled between 56-61fps, and those annoying micro-stutters during ability casts are gone. It's way better to fix the scheduling than to blindly overclock, though I still feel a tiny bit of jitter during massive group fights.
