How to fix memory scheduling for Kingbank 8GB in FFXVI PC?

Whenever I hit those massive battle scenes, my 8GB of Kingbank RAM just hits a wall instantly, forcing the system to lean heavily on the page file, which tanked my frames down to a pathetic 10-15 FPS. HWiNFO showed my physical memory usage locked at a brutal 98%, which was honestly a nightmare to deal with. I tried killing every single background app, but it only freed up about 200MB—basically useless. I eventually went into System Properties and manually locked my page file between 12-16GB, moving it to my fastest NVMe partition. At first, this actually caused some nasty input lag, but once I completely disabled the Windows Search indexing service, my frame times finally dropped from a laggy 110ms to a more manageable 40-55ms. My RAM temps stayed around 38-42℃ with fans humming at a low 1200 RPM. After testing different page file sizes, the throughput is way better now. Even though 8GB is still a huge bottleneck, the resource allocation is finally stable with frame times sitting at 5.1-6.4ms.
