How to manage resources for HyperX Savage 8GB in city zones?
Walking through the crowded streets was a nightmare; the screen would just freeze for a split second every few seconds. The anxiety of the game hitching during exploration is real. Compared to a 16GB build, the HyperX Savage 8GB gets filled instantly, forcing the system to lean heavily on the hard drive page file, which spiked my I/O latency to a disgusting 120-180ms. I tried cleaning temporary files first, but the memory usage stayed glued above 96%, which was a pretty useless effort. I eventually manually fixed the virtual memory size between 16384-32768MB and killed every single unnecessary background process. In the Resource Monitor, the hard interrupt frequency dropped from 800Hz to a much healthier 200-300Hz. I did experience a couple of crashes early on while tweaking the page file, but moving the file to a high-speed NVMe drive fixed the stability. RAM temps stayed around 42-48℃ and the SSD sat at 50-55℃. After three hours of testing, the stuttering frequency dropped by about 60%, and frame times finally stabilized between 5.1-6.4ms.
