The Last of Us PCIe Fix
In the Philadelphia ruins, my Seagate FireCuda 510 suffered PCIe 3.0 handshake timeouts, dropping FPS from 60 to 25. I tried updating the chipset driver, but it triggered a blue screen. I used GamePP Peripheral Driver Conflict Detection to reset the storage controller and switched to High Performance power plan. Frame generation time converged from 15-40ms to 16-18ms via GamePP Frame Time Analyzer, and SSD temperature maintained at 48-52°C. This set of changes stabilizes the game.
