Can I fix the I/O bottleneck on an Intel 760P for TLOU 2?
Trying to run a modern AAA masterpiece on this ancient drive is like trying to race a tractor—it's just ridiculous. The 4K random reads on the Intel 760P 512GB couldn't handle the asset streaming, sending my frame times soaring to 60-110ms. It felt like a slideshow. I tried some risky registry hacks to force driver parameters, which predictably broke my boot sequence and forced me into Safe Mode. After that disaster, I used a third-party tool to force HMB (Host Memory Buffer) simulation and updated to the latest Intel RST drivers. My IOPS jumped from 45K to 72K, and the stuttering dropped by about 60%. Initially, my RAM usage spiked by 2GB, but I balanced it out by adjusting the allocation weights. Temps are fine at 38-45℃ with a load of 45-62%. I exported the timestamps to verify, and my fans are humming along at 1400-1600RPM.
