How to stop memory overflows on HyperX Savage 8GB?
The wide-open online scenes were tearing like crazy whenever I moved fast, especially in crowded hubs where RAM usage was pegged between 92% and 98%. I tried killing background processes to claw back some space, but only recovered about 300MB, which is a joke for this kind of resource leak. It was incredibly frustrating. I ended up manually setting the virtual memory to a fixed 16GB and forced the RAM frequency to 2400MHz in the BIOS. In Resource Monitor, I saw the page swap rate plummet from 110 times per second to just 25. To be honest, the first time I locked the frequency, I got a blue screen immediately. I had to bump the memory voltage to 1.22V just to get it to stay alive. Frame times are now hovering between 25-32ms; it's not perfect, but it killed those infuriating micro-freezes. This kind of trial-and-error tuning is the only way to survive on low-end gear. The tearing is way less noticeable now that V-Sync is on. System logs confirm the overflow errors are gone.
