I'm getting stutters in the wild areas of The Witcher Remake because my Intel 760P 1TB lacks bandwidth, should I update drivers?

I couldn't take it anymore. This drive just can't handle the assets of the Remake; the moment I enter a forest, the game just hitches. The random read performance of the 760P was hitting 20-30ms scheduling delays with 4K textures, causing frame times to spike between 28-45ms. I tried disabling unnecessary Windows services, but that just made the whole OS feel sluggish—a total waste of my afternoon. I eventually installed the latest Intel storage drivers and manually locked the virtual memory to 16GB to stop disk fragmentation from ruining the experience. RTSS showed my 1% lows jump from 38 FPS to 50 FPS, and the response finally felt stable. I actually had a few random reboots after the driver install, and I had to roll back to a slightly older stable version to stop the crashing. Temps stayed around 42-48℃. I've backed up the config file just in case.
