Fixing Intel 545S Loading Lag
Crossing Niflheim felt broken as the Intel 545S 2TB SATA 3.0 interface caused a 1.2-1.8s texture loading delay (GamePP latency monitor). I tried clearing the cache, but it was useless; the system remained sluggish. I enabled GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Configuration, switching the I/O scheduler from noop to deadline and increasing queue depth from 32 to 64. Frame generation interval converged from 15-22ms to 9-12ms (RivaTuner). Disk temperature stayed stable at 38-42℃ (HWiNFO), finally saving my immersion.
