Fixing Novigrad city lag with Gloway DDR5 6000 in Witcher 3

Riding through the streets of Novigrad was a disaster, with FPS jumping wildly between 70 and 40. The optimization is so bad it makes me want to throw my keyboard. While the Gloway kit is generally compatible, the XMP timings were hitting 88-95ns latency with the Next-Gen high-res textures. I tried adding 16GB of virtual memory, but it was a pointless exercise—usage went down, but latency didn't budge. I went into the BIOS, tightened timings from 36-36-36-76 to 32-34-34-72, and pushed voltage from 1.25V to 1.35V. AIDA64 showed latency drop to 68-72ns, and the city stuttering improved significantly. I hit a wall trying 30-30-30 which caused a hard lock; loosening tRFC to 580 finally stabilized it. RAM temps stay at 48-55℃ and VRMs at 58-63℃. I've backed up the BIOS profile, but this game is still a resource hog.
