How to stop Silent Hill 2 from crashing with 16GB of RAM?
Running this remake on 16GB of RAM is like walking a tightrope. In the fog-heavy areas, usage spikes to 96% instantly, and honestly, it's a joke. Compared to 32GB builds, this capacity struggles with high-res textures, with data exchange hovering around 30 GB/s. I tried lowering shadow quality, but while FPS went up, the crashes actually became more frequent—a total waste of time. I went into the BIOS, forced the frequency to 3200MHz, and tweaked the voltage to 1.36V. Stress tests showed temps between 45°C and 51°C. At first, the system had severe checksum errors, and I only got it stable by loosening the secondary timings to 22-22-22. Now I can maintain 45-55 FPS. It's still pushing the hardware to the limit, but I can finally finish a chapter without a crash. I exported the BIOS overclock profile to back up these extreme settings.
