How to stop slow texture pop-in in Crysis Remastered jungles?

In the jungles of Crysis, distant building textures loaded so slowly that it made the combat pacing feel completely off. I tried the cautious approach of clearing disk space to under 50%, but CrystalDiskMark showed no improvement, proving it was a controller scheduling issue. GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Configuration showed fluctuations between 15-40; after a failed attempt to lower depth added 2s to loading, I locked it at 64 with Storage Acceleration. Random reads improved to 48-55MB/s per GamePP, and HWiNFO recorded temperatures between 40-48℃.
