How to fix bandwidth calibration for ADATA 8GB DDR3 in RE9?

Walking through those creepy corridors was a nightmare; my frame rate was swinging wildly between 45 and 20 FPS, which felt incredibly janky. The bandwidth on this ADATA Valueram 8GB DDR3 is already tight, but HWiNFO showed the memory controller hitting massive latency spikes of 110-140ns when handling 4K textures. I initially tried switching to the High Performance power plan in Windows, but while the CPU clocked higher, the memory lag didn't budge—a total contradiction that left me scratching my head. I eventually dove into the BIOS and forced the memory frequency to a locked 1600MHz, while manually pinning the virtual memory to a 16GB high-speed partition. Checking RTSS, the frame time finally tightened up from 25-50ms down to 18-24ms, and the game became playable. I actually tried pushing the timings down to 9-9-9-24 at first, but the system BSOD'd the second the game launched. I had to back off to 11-11-11-28 to get it rock steady. Temps stayed between 42-48℃ with utilization hitting 98%. AIDA64 confirmed I've hit the peak read/write bandwidth, keeping frame times stable at 18-24ms. It's still a struggle on this old gear, but it works.
