Reducing Read Latency Spikes
Navigating the streets of Kamurocho, the instant stuttering from delayed texture loading was incredibly frustrating. I initially tried using a disk defragmentation tool to optimize partitions, but it was useless and just increased SSD write wear, leaving me totally discouraged. I then enabled the GamePP Resource Scheduler to elevate the storage driver process priority to Realtime. RTSS monitoring showed the frame time curve converged to 14-19ms, read speeds hit 2800-3100 MB/s via GamePP tool, and temps were 52-58℃ per CrystalDiskInfo.
