Ending 4K Texture Loading Freezes
The visuals were top-tier, but loading stutters were a nightmare, making the game feel like a slideshow during scene transitions. I tried installing the game on a different brand SSD, but it turned out to be a PCIe link protocol handshake issue, which was a total waste of time. I used the GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Configuration to increase depth from 32 to 256 and forced high-performance mode. CrystalDiskMark showed 4K reads increasing to 65-72MB/s, and NVMe latency spikes of 150ms vanished. HWInfo recorded temps at 48-55℃ and AIDA64 showed Southbridge at 60-65℃.
