Eliminating Random Read Spikes
In a game with such extreme graphics, my 512GB drive became a nightmare, causing freezes during terrain loads. I tried cleaning all temporary system files, but this superficial fix didn't alleviate the I/O blocking, which was incredibly frustrating. I used the GamePP Resource Scheduler to force game storage I/O priority to the highest level and disabled background indexing. Random reads hit 55-68MB/s per AS SSD, frame time dropped from 60ms via FrameView, and RAM temps were 40-55°C per HWMonitor.
