Is virtual memory causing stutters on TiPro9000 in Stalker 2?
Every time I crossed into a new zone, the game would freeze for about 0.5 seconds, and that lack of continuity was driving me crazy. With the TiPro9000 handling massive fragmented assets, my system's page file latency was jumping wildly between 120-160ms. I tried enabling the cache mode in the NVIDIA Control Panel, but disk usage stayed pinned at 90% and the hitches didn't budge—it was honestly depressing. I decided to manually move the virtual memory to a dedicated fast partition on my PCIe 4.0 NVMe and bumped the NVMe queue depth to 2048. Monitoring via RTSS, my frame times tightened from a messy 16-45ms range down to a stable 12-18ms. I messed up early on by setting the page file too small, which caused the game to crash instantly, but bumping it to 32GB solved everything. Drive temps are hovering around 48-54℃, and the I/O response is finally where it needs to be.
