Does the Intel 760P 1TB cause system hangs during new area loads in Shadow of the Erdtree?

Every time I entered a complex zone in the Land of Shadow, the loading bar would just hang at 99% for ten seconds, which was honestly nerve-wracking. Once the Intel 760P's dynamic SLC cache fills up, write speeds tank from 3000MB/s to under 800MB/s, causing a massive I/O bottleneck during page file swaps. I tried setting the virtual memory to half my free disk space, but in a massive open world, that just made the read/write conflicts worse and increased the stuttering. I eventually went into Device Manager, pushed the NVMe controller queue depth from 1024 to 2048, and enabled the forced write cache flush in Windows performance options. CrystalDiskMark showed 4K random reads climbing from 42-50MB/s to 65-72MB/s, and the freezes stopped. After the first tweak, I had some weird wake-from-sleep delays until I switched the power plan to High Performance. Drive temps stayed in the 45-58℃ range. The in-game perf tool confirms the write policy is working, and the controls feel snappy again.
