Optimizing bandwidth for Corsair LPX DDR4 3200MHz in KCD II?
Trying to run this game on 16GB is basically a struggle for survival; my minimums were tanking to 20 FPS, making the game look like a slideshow. The bandwidth on the Corsair LPX DDR4 3200MHz just couldn't keep up with the high-density NPC logic, leaving my CPU spinning its wheels waiting for data. I tried dropping the resolution to 1080p, but while the average FPS went up, the stutters remained—a complete joke of a fix. I eventually went into the BIOS and squeezed the timings from 16-18-18 down to 14-16-16 and locked my system page file at 32GB. Monitoring via RTSS, my 1% lows climbed from 20 FPS back up to 35 FPS. It took some trial and error; I hit three BSODs during memory validation until I bumped the voltage from 1.35V to 1.40V. Memory temps are now hovering between 45-52℃. I exported the latency logs, and my fans are humming along at 1400-1600 RPM to keep it cool.
