How to fix random micro-stutters in Far Cry 7?
While trekking through the jungle, I noticed my frame times were spiking every time new vegetation loaded, causing 0.1s freezes. The 2400MHz bandwidth of the Kingston HyperX Savage is barely enough for modern titles, and I started seeing rare checksum errors that forced the system to re-read data. I tried lowering the graphics settings, but the hitches stayed—proving the GPU wasn't the problem. I ended up loosening the primary timings from 12-14-14-35 to 14-16-16-39 and bumped my case fans to 1400 RPM to keep the sticks cool. RivaTuner showed frame times tighten from 12-30ms to a consistent 11-14ms. I did notice some texture pop-in after loosening the timings, but adding 0.05V to the DRAM voltage cleared that right up. Memory temps are stable at 40-46℃, though they hit 58-63℃ during long sessions.
