Is virtual memory the cause of Gray Zone Warfare stutters?
Sprinting through the jungle was a disaster; my frame rate would tank from 70 down to 40 in seconds, and the anxiety of missing a shot due to a stutter was real. The default timings on Crucial DDR4 3200MHz are way too conservative, leaving bandwidth utilization fluctuating between 60-75% and making the CPU wait on data. I tried killing every single background app, which saved about 1.2GB of RAM, but the drops persisted, which was incredibly frustrating. I eventually went into the BIOS, switched the memory profile from Auto to Manual, and crushed the primary timings from 22-22-22-52 down to 16-18-18-38, while bumping the voltage to 1.35V. In RivaTuner, the frame time variance shrank from a messy 15-30ms window down to a tight 8-12ms. I actually bricked my boot sequence once during this process, but loosening tRFC to 560 brought it back to life. Temps stayed in the 46-52℃ range. AIDA64 confirmed a 12% boost in bandwidth, and the input lag is finally gone.
