Fixing PCIe 3.0 Bottlenecks
Running through Kyoto and triggering fights caused random micro-stutters that were absolutely maddening. I tried enabling AHCI Advanced Mode in BIOS, but it just slowed down my boot time without helping the game, which was discouraging. I used GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Configuration to set the depth to 256. RTSS confirmed frame times dropped from 15-40ms to 10-18ms, and HWiNFO showed temps stabilized at 50-55℃. It's finally smooth.
