Improving Crucial DDR4 3200 performance in Ghost of Yotei?
Trying to run this game on 16GB of RAM felt like driving a supercar through a swamp—just embarrassing. The bandwidth on my Crucial DDR4 3200 hit a wall at 15-22 GB/s when streaming 4K textures, which caused the VRAM swap to lag and created these annoying micro-hitches. I tried disabling every unnecessary Windows service, but it only freed up 800MB, which is basically a joke. I went into the BIOS to verify I was actually running in Dual Channel mode and migrated the virtual memory to a dedicated NVMe partition. Using a frame comparison tool, texture load speeds jumped by 30%. I tried pushing an overclock to 3466MHz, but the game crashed during scene transitions, so I dialed it back to 3200MHz and just focused on tightening the timings. Temps are steady at 42-48℃. I exported the bandwidth throughput curve via a performance analyzer, and the fans are humming consistently at 1400-1600 RPM. Still, 16GB feels like the absolute bare minimum for this title.
