Can optimizing virtual memory stop GTA VI from lagging on 8GB KingBank RAM?

Trying to run a modern open world on 8GB of RAM is a total joke. Every time I turned a corner, my disk usage would spike to 100% and the game turned into a slideshow. The KingBank Yin Jue 8GB DDR4 3600 was struggling with fragmented assets, and I saw virtual memory swap latency swinging between 150-300ms—a complete performance nightmare. I tried moving the game to a different drive, but the stuttering didn't budge, which felt like a complete waste of time. I eventually used a third-party tool to optimize the page file layout and manually locked the Windows virtual memory to a static 24GB range. CrystalDiskMark showed random 4K reads moving from 15MB/s to 22MB/s; it's not a miracle, but at least it stops crashing. I actually accidentally deleted my boot partition while messing with the drive, which was a heart-stopping moment. Now the SSD stays at 42-48℃ and fans are steady at 1400-1600 RPM.
