Fixing Asgard Thor DDR5 6400 memory saturation in BioShock 4?
The moment I entered the underwater city, my FPS plummeted from 80 to 20. The optimization in this game is just abysmal. Even with the high bandwidth of the Asgard Thor DDR5 6400, the driver-level I/O scheduling was lagging between 30-50ms, which killed the streaming loads. I tried killing all background apps, but I only gained 2 FPS—a complete joke. I ended up expanding the virtual memory to 32GB on my NVMe drive and pushed the RAM to 6600MHz in the BIOS. In 3DMark's CPU test, my 1% lows went from 12 FPS up to 32 FPS. I did have a hard freeze on the first run, but bumping the voltage from 1.40V to 1.45V stabilized it. RAM is at 48-54℃ and the board is 52-58℃. I've backed up the config, but the game still feels like a mess.
