Solving memory bandwidth issues for Gloway Dragon Warrior DDR5
Driving through those eerie misty forests, I kept getting these tiny, sharp pauses that completely killed the immersion. The default timings on the Gloway Dragon Warrior DDR5 6000 were struggling with the dynamic data, with latency hitting 70-80ns, leaving my CPU just waiting around for data. I tried increasing virtual memory to 16GB, but that just spiked my disk usage without helping the 1% lows at all, which made me much more cautious. I headed into the BIOS, manually tightened the primary timings to 30-36-36-76, and carefully bumped the voltage from 1.35V to 1.38V. AIDA64 bandwidth tests showed read speeds jumping from 52GB/s to 61GB/s, and the hitching dropped off significantly. I did have a random reboot about 15 minutes into the game after the first tweak, but loosening tRAS from 76 to 80 stabilized everything. Memory temps sat at 52-58℃, and VRM was 62-68℃. The frame time distribution map confirms 1% lows improved from 32 FPS to 45 FPS, and temps stayed at 52-58℃.
