How to fix combat stutters in Horizon Zero Dawn with Zhitai Ti600 500GB?

Combat stutters in Horizon Zero Dawn were ruining my session. I tried increasing virtual memory, which worsened the read/write conflicts. I used GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Config to raise the depth to 2048 and enabled cache refresh. CrystalDiskMark showed 68-75MB/s random reads, and CrystalDiskInfo confirmed 42-55℃ drive temperatures.
