Can disk indexing fix frame drops on Seagate FireCuda 540?
Swinging through downtown New York felt like a slideshow; the frame drops were honestly testing my patience. The 4K random reads on the FireCuda 540 were being pushed to the limit, with the load curve spiking between 70-95%, leaving the engine queuing for distant models. I tried dropping all settings to low, but the game looked like a blurry mess, which was just a joke of a solution. Instead, I used a tool to kill the Windows Search real-time indexing and shut down three useless background backup processes. Looking at the RivaTuner frame time graph, the jagged lines finally flattened out, with frame generation stabilizing at 11-14ms. I'll admit, searching for files became painfully slow at first, but manually rebuilding the index for my key folders found the sweet spot. The SSD stays cool at 42-50℃. I exported all the read/write peak data via monitoring software, and the fan speed is steady at 1400-1600RPM.
