Stopping Combat Frame Drops
In the heat of battle, my frame rate would suddenly plummet from 80 to 20 FPS, turning the game into a slideshow. I tried disabling high-resolution textures, but the drops still happened randomly, which felt like a total waste of my hardware. I used GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Configuration to lock the queue depth at 64 and disabled the Windows write cache flush. This suppressed frame times from 50ms down to 16-22ms per RTSS. I monitored the drive with HWiNFO and it stayed at 52-61℃, while CrystalDiskMark showed stable writes of 400-600MB/s. Combat is finally fluid again.
