Optimizing VRAM scheduling for Manli RTX 5090 D v2?
The fact that a 5090 is micro-stuttering in Warhammer is a joke—the game optimization is just embarrassing. Even with 24GB of VRAM on the Manli Star Ship RTX 5090 D v2, the bus utilization was spiking between 92% and 98% during massive unit clashes, causing scheduling delays of 20-35ms. I tried enabling 'Smart Access Memory' in the driver, but the game just crashed at the loading screen, which was a complete waste of my afternoon. I eventually manually locked the system virtual memory between 32GB and 64GB and disabled every single useless Windows telemetry service. In Resource Monitor, the VRAM page fault frequency dropped from 500Hz to around 150-200Hz. I actually messed up and deleted a system component during the process, which killed my internet until I restored the registry. Now the core sits at 58°C - 64°C with fans at 1700 RPM. Exporting the logs showed frame times finally stabilized at 5.1-6.4ms, though the setup was a nightmare.
