Can Gear 1 mode fix the stuttering in Spider-Man Remastered?
Slinging through Manhattan was a disaster; the minimum FPS would suddenly tank to 30, making the game feel like a slideshow, which was honestly laughable. The default memory mode on the MSI PRO B760M-A was choking on the massive amount of city assets, with bandwidth utilization hitting 90%, leaving the CPU idling for data. I tried enabling every 'performance boost' setting in the drivers, but that just pushed my GPU to 80℃ without gaining a single frame—a complete exercise in futility. I went into the BIOS and forced the memory controller from Gear 2 to Gear 1, then dialed the RAM frequency to 3200MHz. In RivaTuner, the 1% lows jumped from 30 FPS back up to 52 FPS, making the swinging feel fluid. I did struggle with a couple of memory training failures after switching to Gear 1, but bumping the RAM voltage from 1.35V to 1.38V sorted it out. The motherboard core temp is now 45 - 52℃ and memory latency dropped to 62 - 68ns. Exported frame time logs show the fans are humming along steadily at 1400 - 1600RPM.
