Is Asgard Thor DDR5 bandwidth causing lag in MGS Delta?
Every time I moved from the jungle into a base, the loading screen would hang at 60% for about ten seconds. That kind of waiting during a stealth op is just anxiety-inducing. The default timings on my Asgard Thor DDR5 6400 were hitting 75-90ns of latency when streaming high-res textures, creating a massive I/O bottleneck. I tried dropping the texture quality to Low, but the game looked like a blurry mess, which was a compromise I just couldn't make. I went back into the BIOS and tightened the main timings from 32-38-38-76 down to 30-36-36-72, while bumping the voltage to 1.40V. In AIDA64, my read speeds jumped from 52GB/s to 60-64GB/s, and load times plummeted from 15 seconds to just 6. I did hit one BSOD during the tuning process due to a memory parity error, but adding 2 cycles back to tRCD fixed it. RAM temps sat at 42-48℃ and the CPU was around 68-75℃. Resource Monitor confirms the bandwidth is now peaking correctly, and the input response finally feels snappy under my fingertips.
