How memory scheduling timing affects the target 1% low FPS?
To nail this down, I ran 3DMark stress tests under report 2025-MEM-08. The results were ugly: frame time graphs showed severe sawtooth volatility with peak latency hitting 45ms. I switched to a High Performance power plan and tweaked timings in the BIOS memory sub-menus. Re-running 3DMark, my 1% lows jumped from 35 FPS to 48 FPS, with volatility staying under 8%. Average FPS only rose by 3, but the perceived choppiness vanished completely. However, memory temps still climb above 55℃ in extreme loops—get a better heatsink or you will eventually hit thermal throttling.
