Managing Gloway Celestial Strategy Yi DDR5 6000MHz in Hitman 3
Trying to run this memory-hungry stealth sim on 16GB is a joke; every time I enter a large crowd, the system starts swapping like crazy. RAM usage is basically pinned at 92% - 96%, causing frame times to jump randomly between 15ms and 120ms, which makes the gameplay feel completely fragmented. I tried closing everything in the background, but even with just one browser tab open, the memory was maxed out, and the effort felt totally desperate. I eventually manually set the virtual memory to 64GB on a PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive and set the game process to 'High' priority. The performance panel shows the page file is still working overtime, but at least the second-long freezes are gone. One annoyance was that my boot time slowed down by about 8 seconds after the change, but disabling Core Isolation brought it back to normal. RAM temps stayed around 48 - 54℃ and the drive hit 55 - 62℃. I exported the swap curves to the system monitor, and my fans stayed steady at 1400 - 1600 RPM.
