Fixing Asgard Thor DDR5 6400 allocation lag in Mass Effect
Every time I jumped galaxies, I had to stare at the loading screen forever. In 2026, this kind of speed is just a joke. The capacity of the Asgard Thor DDR5 6400 was getting hammered by ultra-res textures, forcing the system to dump 60% of the data into virtual memory, which spiked I/O wait times to 180-320ms. I tried dropping everything to the lowest settings, and while FPS went from 30 to 45, the stuttering was still there, which was honestly pathetic. I manually locked the virtual memory to 32GB and forced the game process to 'Realtime' priority, while disabling all Windows Update services. In Resource Monitor, the memory pressure dropped from 98% to 88%. It still hitches occasionally, but at least it doesn't freeze the whole PC anymore. I tried 'Realtime' priority at first, but my mouse started skipping, so I had to dial it back to 'High'. RAM temps are around 45-51,C and generally stay between 42-47,C.
