How to reduce input delay on Crucial DDR4 2400MHz 8GB?
It's honestly ridiculous—this RAM frequency is so low it feels like I'm playing on a museum piece. The input lag was a total nightmare for a fighting game. With latency hitting 110-125ns, the CPU was basically queuing up my inputs. I tried the 'Ultimate Performance' power plan in Windows, but the memory latency didn't budge an inch. I eventually went into the BIOS, killed the memory power management energy modes, and set the memory priority to maximum. Using RTSS, my frame times tightened up from a messy 16-35ms range to a solid 13-17ms. The moves finally feel crisp. My RAM temps jumped by 5℃ immediately, so I had to crank my case fans to 1200 RPM to compensate. Memory usage stays around 6.2-7.1GB. I exported the event logs to verify the latency drop, and it's a night and day difference.
