Reducing Memory Latency
Every time I entered a new galaxy map, I hit these sudden, unexplained stutters that made the whole experience feel unstable and anxiety-inducing. I tried enabling the XMP profile in BIOS, but while the frequency went up, the memory latency actually rose by 5ns per AIDA64, which didn't help the stuttering. I then used the GamePP Resource Scheduler to elevate the game's main process priority to Realtime and restricted background I/O usage. This worked wonders: frame times converged to 12-16ms per RTSS, and memory latency stabilized at 62-68ns per AIDA64, with temps at 42-48℃ per HWInfo64.
