Checking driver conflicts for Samsung 9100 PRO 2TB in DS2?
While trekking through the wilderness in Death Stranding 2, I noticed frame times jumping from 8ms to 40ms, especially when climbing rocky terrain. Monitoring showed the Samsung 9100 PRO driver service was fighting with the system capture service for I/O resources. I first tried disabling services in Device Manager, but that just triggered system log errors, which made me nervous. I then used the GamePP Peripheral Driver Conflict Detector to set the conflicting sync service to Manual and optimized the NVMe power management. RivaTuner showed frame times settling between 7-12ms, and the flow felt way better.
