How to fix texture flickering with Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200MHz?
Distant building textures were jumping around like crazy, which completely killed the immersion for me. The bandwidth on the Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200MHz was hitting a 12-18% packet loss rate while streaming 4K textures, causing a massive bottleneck between the VRAM and system RAM. At first, I tried lowering the texture filtering quality in the GPU panel; the flickering stopped, but the game looked like a blurry mess, which was a total dealbreaker for me. I then manually locked my virtual memory to 32GB on the fastest NVMe partition and disabled dynamic frequency scaling in the BIOS to keep the RAM locked at 3200MHz. In Resource Monitor, the commit charge expanded from 14GB to 22-26GB, and the texture pop-in practically vanished. I did have a brief system hang when first setting the page file, but that went away after I disabled the disk indexing service. Temps stayed between 45-52℃ at a steady 1.35V. After 3 hours of gaming, the flickering is gone and the world feels solid again.
