Why does my 16GB Gloway Celestial Strategy Yi keep stuttering?

Zipping through Manhattan was a nightmare; the game would just hitch out of nowhere, making the controls feel sluggish and unresponsive. My Gloway Celestial Strategy Yi 16GB kit was clearly choking under the pressure of 4K textures, with memory usage spiking wildly between 14.2GB and 15.8GB, forcing the system to lean on the painfully slow disk cache. I initially tried forcing High Performance mode in the driver panel, but that was a mistake—it didn't stop the lag and actually pushed my RAM temps from 45℃ up to 56℃, which left me totally confused. I eventually dove into the advanced system settings and manually locked my virtual memory into an asymmetrical range of 24GB to 32GB, while disabling Windows Fast Startup to clear out those stubborn memory fragments. Checking Resource Monitor, the commit charge finally settled from a shaky 18.5GB down to a steady 12.2-13.1GB, and my frame times dropped from a chaotic 22-45ms to a smooth 16-21ms. I did hit a snag where the system blue-screened once during the first page file tweak, but moving the page file to a dedicated high-speed NVMe partition fixed it. Temps are now hovering around 48-53℃ with the clock steady at 6000MHz. Performance Monitor shows a flat resource curve now, and the settings are finally saved.
