Optimizing Random Read Latency
Traversing dense forests was terrible; the screen would freeze instantly before assets suddenly popped in. I tried enabling Fast Startup in Windows, but loading times didn't improve at all, which was a total waste of time. I used the GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Configuration to increase read queue depth to 1024 and enabled forced write cache flush. CrystalDiskMark showed 4K random reads jumped from 50MB/s to 72MB/s, with temps at 48-55℃ per AIDA64.
