How to fix resource scheduling for Ghost of Tsushima on GW3300?
While riding through the maple forests of Tsushima, I noticed these micro-stutters whenever a new zone loaded, and the I/O blocking was a total nightmare during high-speed gallops. I dug into the metrics and found the GW3300's random 4K read performance goes haywire once the load hits 80%, with latency jumping wildly between 45-110ms, which left me completely baffled. At first, I tried disabling the Windows Indexing Service, but that only dropped CPU usage by a measly 1% while the stutters remained—a pretty frustrating waste of time. I eventually went into Device Manager, switched the disk write caching policy to 'Force Flush,' and manually moved the page file to a non-system partition. Running CrystalDiskMark showed random reads climbing from 35-50MB/s up to 62-78MB/s, and the scene transitions finally felt buttery smooth. I did have a scare where I lost some temp saves after the first policy change due to an unexpected reboot, but setting up an auto-backup fixed that. Now, the drive stays between 42-55℃ with the controller load around 70%. Resource Monitor confirms the I/O queue is stable at 12-18MB/s, though the 512GB capacity fills up scary fast.
