Fixing memory leaks and overflow for Kingston HyperX Savage
The input lag became absolutely unbearable whenever I entered large building clusters, and I only realized the problem when I saw my RAM usage pinned at 98%. This Kingston Savage 8GB stick just can't handle modern open worlds; the physical memory fills up instantly, forcing the system to spam the page file on the drive, which created a noticeable 100-300ms delay. My first instinct was to tank all the graphics settings to low, but while I gained about 10 FPS, the textures looked like a blurry mess and the stutters remained—it was a total dead end. I then manually set my virtual memory to a fixed 32GB size and used a debloater tool to kill every unnecessary background process. Checking the frame time analyzer, the spikes dropped from 16-250ms to a steady 14-22ms, and the skipping finally stopped. I did hit two Blue Screens of Death while tweaking the page file, but it stabilized once I moved the file to a high-speed NVMe drive. RAM temps hovered between 40-46℃. After three full map crossings, the swap pressure is gone and the fix is solid.
