How to fix G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4 3600 lag in Star Wars Outlaws?
Exploring the alien cities is great until the camera snaps and the whole image just twitches; it's an incredibly distracting feeling in an open-world game. I found that the default XMP profile for the G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3600 was causing a 12-18ms instruction scheduling delay on my board, making frame times jump between 16-32ms. I tried updating the BIOS first, but that was a gamble—it improved compatibility but randomly reset my RAM to 2133MHz, which was super frustrating. I eventually went manual in the BIOS, setting the timings to 16-19-19-38 and tweaking the voltage to 1.36V. In AIDA64, the latency dropped from 78ns to a sharp 62-66ns. The game did black screen once during the loading screen after the first tweak, but loosening tRFC to 560 completely stabilized it. RAM temps are now 42-48℃ and CPU is at 65-71℃. No more timing jumps.
