Is Crucial DDR5 4800MHz bandwidth limiting Atomic Heart?
Whenever the screen gets filled with flying mechanical debris, my frame rate just nosedives from 80 FPS to 30 FPS without warning. It's incredibly jarring. The default frequency of the Crucial DDR5 4800MHz 16GB just can't keep up with high-frequency data swaps, with bandwidth utilization often peaking over 92%, leaving the CPU idling while waiting for data. I tried lowering the shadow quality to reduce the load, but that only gave me a measly 5 FPS boost while the stuttering remained exactly the same—a total waste of effort. I finally went into the BIOS, switched the memory profile to XMP, pushed the frequency to 5200MHz, and tweaked the voltage to 1.28V. Monitoring with RivaTuner, my minimums jumped from 30 FPS back up to 52 FPS, making combat feel way more responsive. I did run into a couple of memory training failures during the first few boots after enabling XMP, but bumping the SoC voltage to 1.1V sorted it out. RAM temps are now holding at 48-55℃ with latency down to 75-82ns. Stress tests confirm it's stable, and the input lag is finally gone.
