Great Wall GW3300 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD Assassin's Creed Shadows Stress Test Bottleneck Analysis

Running Assassin's Creed Shadows the stress test highlighted storage as the clear bottleneck with reads writes sitting around 3300 to 3500 MB per second on my Great Wall GW3300 1TB SSD I started with default runs and the curves already showed room for improvement. CrystalDiskMark full benchmark export gave solid bottleneck numbers though multi core landed a bit weaker than hoped. Single core scores hit around 1900 to 2000 points frame range tightened from 38 to 70 down to 52 to 63 stability improved roughly 25 to 35 percent. Killed unnecessary background stuff in game settings load times dropped 12 to 18 seconds temps stayed under 60 to 65C no throttling spikes. Sure the export glitched briefly but Cinebench side by side confirmed the data reliable Assassin's Creed Shadows overall performance basically hits the mark now.
