How to stop GW3300 512GB from lagging in Tekken 8?
That absolute fluidity in combo transitions is finally back. Before this, the screen would have these tiny, irritating twitches right as the fight loaded. Once the SLC cache on the GW3300 512GB fills up after heavy writes, the random read speed tanks from 80MB/s down to 30-40MB/s, causing response peaks of 12-25ms. I tried running a disk defrag first, which was a total waste of time since it's an NVMe and just added unnecessary wear. I eventually went into Device Manager and switched the write caching policy to 'Force Flush' and updated the chipset drivers. Now, the transition into battle feels completely natural without any hitches. I did run into a weird issue where the drive took forever to be recognized at idle after enabling force flush, but switching the power plan from Balanced to High Performance killed that bug. Temps are sitting between 42-50℃. After a dozen matches, the stutter is gone and the drive is performing perfectly.
