Why does my Zhitai TiPro9000 drop speed in Night City?
After three hours of tearing through Night City in Overdrive mode, my load times went from instant to agonizingly slow. It's a classic SLC cache exhaustion issue; once the Zhitai TiPro9000 1TB fills up with shader files, write speeds crash from 7000MB/s to around 1500MB/s. I tried using a disk cleanup tool to wipe temp files, but that just made the system indexing take longer—a total fail. I installed the latest NVMe drivers and disabled the 'Write Cache Buffer Flush' policy in Device Manager to streamline the data flow. CrystalDiskMark showed random writes climbing from 40MB/s back up to 75MB/s, and load times dropped back under 8 seconds. I did notice a 5-second delay during shutdown after the tweak, but enabling 'Fast Startup' fixed that. SSD temps stayed between 52℃ - 65℃. It's a bit of a headache to maintain, but the speed is back.
