How do I fix resource scheduling on the ASUS ROG STRIX Z890-A?
Hitting downtown Los Santos is a complete nightmare; the screen just tears apart, which is absolutely fatal in high-stakes RP scenarios. I found that the default XMP profile on the ASUS ROG STRIX Z890-A GAMING WIFI S Snow Edition struggles with the massive amount of custom assets used in RP. The memory controller voltage was jumping wildly between 1,35V and 1,38V, pushing instruction latency up to 85-92ns. I first tried bumping the virtual memory to 64GB in Windows, but that was a total waste of time—it just made the whole OS feel sluggish and unresponsive. I eventually dove into the BIOS -> Advanced -> DRAM Configuration and manually locked the memory voltage at 1,385V while tightening the tRFC secondary timing to 480 cycles. Checking HWiNFO, my RAM temps stayed steady between 52-58C, and frame times finally tightened from a messy 12-35ms down to a rock-steady 8-11ms. I actually tried pushing for 7200MHz initially, but it just resulted in a series of BSODs until I backed it off to 6800MHz. With the VRM sitting at 62-68C, the read/write curves are finally flat. It's a huge relief to have the stuttering gone.
