Does the Zhitai TiPro9000 need driver tweaks for Silent Hill 2?
While wandering through the foggy streets, I noticed my frame times were jumping erratically, with a 0.2-second freeze every time a new texture loaded. When the Zhitai TiPro9000's SLC cache fluctuates under extreme read/write pressure, the I/O response time can jump from 0.1ms to 12ms, which causes those annoying micro-hitches. I tried lowering the graphics settings to reduce the load, but the average FPS went up while the random stutters stayed exactly the same—proving the issue wasn't GPU power. I updated to the latest NVMe controller drivers and disabled the Windows write-caching policy. In RivaTuner, my frame generation time tightened from 11-30ms down to a steady 10-13ms, and the stuttering vanished. I did experience some slight texture popping right after the first cache change, but setting the PCIe Power Management to 'Maximum Performance' killed that issue. The SSD temperature is stable at 42-52℃. After three long exploration sessions, the system is finally verified as stable.
