How to stop WD Black SN850X 2TB from freezing in AC Shadows?
Sprinting through the open world is great until the screen just locks up for a second, which is honestly just pathetic for a high-end drive. The GamePP Frame Time Analyzer showed frame intervals jumping between 11ms and 48ms, even though disk usage was only 60-70%—classic SLC cache overflow causing random read latency spikes. I tried increasing the virtual memory in Windows, but while it stopped the crashes, those tiny micro-stutters were still there, and the trial-and-error process felt like a total waste of my life. I finally used the GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Config to push the depth to 2048 and enabled 'PCIe Gen4 Extreme Mode' in the BIOS.
