GoW Ragnarok SSD Stutter
Every time I changed views in God of War Ragnarok, the game hitched. CrystalDiskMark showed throughput plummeting to 3500MB/s due to SLC cache overflow. I tried increasing virtual memory, but it made the stutter worse. The Samsung 990 PRO 4TB was overwhelmed by the default queue depth. I used GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Configuration to raise it from 512 to 1024 and enabled forced write cache. CrystalDiskMark showed 4K random reads jumping to 55-62MB/s. HWiNFO kept temps at 66-71℃. This set my expectations for smooth open-world exploration.
