Why does Far Cry 7 stutter during scene transitions on Seagate FireCuda 510?

Scene transitions in Far Cry 7 were stuttering badly because the Seagate FireCuda 510 2TB PCIe 3.0 hit bandwidth limits. I tried tweaking virtual memory, but it didn't help, which was a dead end. I then used the GamePP System Backup and Configuration Export Tool to optimize I/O scheduling and adjust the power plan. RTSS showed transition times becoming smooth and consistent. This configuration export is the safest way to backup your settings and ensure the PCIe 3.0 drive performs reliably.
