How to fix storage bottlenecks on Great Wall GW3300 256GB?
Flying over cities was a mess; I'd get these 200ms freezes that totally broke the immersion. The 256GB on the Great Wall GW3300 is just too small for the massive data streams of MSFS 2024, with occupancy sitting at a dangerous 92-96%, forcing the system to rely on slow virtual memory. I cautiously tried enabling memory compression in Windows, but the extra CPU hit dropped my frame rate by 5 FPS, which just added to the stress. I ended up moving the page file to a separate high-speed partition and stripped all background indexing services of their read/write permissions. My latency tool showed random reads drop from 130ns to 95-102ns, and the stuttering vanished. I actually messed up the page file path at first, which stopped the game from launching, but I fixed it on the second try. Temps are 40-46℃. The frame time graph is finally flat, and it feels great.
