Hitman 3 memory usage too high on ASUS ROG STRIX X870-A?
It's honestly ridiculous that a top-tier X870 board would let my RAM max out and cause frame drops during map loads. The ASUS ROG STRIX X870-A Snow Edition was struggling with massive amounts of dynamic NPC data, with usage spiking over 94%, forcing the system to lean on slow virtual memory and tanking my FPS from 110 down to 35. I tried disabling some environmental details, but the world looked empty and lifeless—totally not worth it for the hardware I paid for. I manually set the system page file to a fixed 64GB and enabled High Performance memory mode in the BIOS. AIDA64 stress tests showed memory latency drop from 115ns to a tight 80-88ns, and the stutters mostly disappeared. I actually caused an I/O conflict by setting the page file too large at first, but moving it to a dedicated NVMe partition fixed the hitching. RAM temps stayed between 48-55℃. I backed up these optimization parameters, and the temps remain stable at 48-55℃, though the setup took forever.
