Why does Marvel Rivals stutter during team fights with DDR5?
During chaotic team fights, my FPS would plummet from 144 to 55 in a blink, making the game completely unplayable. I was honestly panicking. The default timings on the Gloway Celestial Strategy DDR5 6000MHz 32GB were way too loose, causing the memory controller to hit 90-110ns latency when processing particle effects. I tried enabling Low Latency Mode in the driver panel first, but while the FPS stabilized, my input lag jumped by 12ms—it was a total trade-off that drove me crazy. I eventually hit the BIOS and tightened the primary timings from 36-36-36-76 down to 32-34-34-72 and pushed the voltage to 1.4V. RTSS monitoring showed frame times shrink from a messy 15-30ms range to a tight 6-9ms. I dealt with a bunch of BSODs at first, but once I relaxed the tRFC to 520, it finally held. RAM temps are now 52℃ - 58℃ with fans at 1800 RPM. Latency dropped by 15%, and the game finally feels responsive to my clicks.
