NVMe Queue Depth for Story Loading
Rapid story loading in DS2:ON THE BEACH overflowed the SLC cache on my Manli Nebula GeForce RTX 5060 8GB, slowing reads to 1500MB/s. Increasing virtual memory failed and lowered FPS. I used GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Configuration to raise depth from 1024 to 2048. CrystalDiskMark showed 4K random reads improving from 55-60MB/s to 75-80MB/s, cutting loads to 4s.
