Is the Intel 660P too slow for Far Cry 6 combat scenes?
Walking through the jungle, the game just randomly hitches, which makes the experience feel really unstable. The Intel 660P 2TB uses QLC NAND, and once the drive is over 70% full, write performance falls off a cliff, leading to 40-80ms spikes when handling temp cache files. I tried disabling all background Windows updates, but that only saved me about a second of loading time—way too cautious and not enough impact. I ran a full surface scan to rule out bad sectors and updated the Intel storage controller drivers. In a 12-hour stress test, I didn't see a single CRC error, and response times leveled out at 35-42ms. I did deal with some annoying idle wake-up bugs early on, but disabling energy-efficient mode killed that. Temps are 44-52℃ with power draw at 3.2-5.1W. NAND temps are staying around 58-63℃.
