Do I need virtual memory for MGSV with Corsair DDR5 6000?
It's honestly ridiculous—I bought 96GB of top-tier RAM only to hit sync latency in a remastered old-gen engine. It's beyond frustrating. Because the capacity is so huge, the memory controller was struggling with addressing, causing latency to swing between 110-130ns. I first tried dropping the frequency to 4800MHz, which stopped the lag but tanked my minimums from 80 FPS to 62 FPS—a performance regression that made me furious. I went back into the BIOS and tightened the primary timings from 36-36-36-76 to 32-34-34-72, while also manually assigning a 32GB page file on a fast SSD. Latency finally stabilized at 65-72ns and the stuttering stopped. I did blue-screen a few times because I pushed tRCD too hard, which took a while to recover from. CPU is at 65-72℃ and RAM is 52-58℃. I've exported the stable profile, but this engine just hates high-capacity kits.
