How to fix read/write scheduling for Crimson Desert on 760P?
While galloping across the vast plains, I noticed the distant vegetation loading in weird, stepped intervals, making my hardware feel completely outclassed. The random read speeds on my Intel 760P 512GB were swinging wildly between 45-52MB/s, forcing the game engine into a 120-150ms wait time whenever it requested assets. I initially tried formatting the drive and re-partitioning it, but that was a total waste of time as loading actually increased by 2 seconds. I then dove into Device Manager, disabled 'Enable write caching on the device' in the disk policies, and ran an NVMe-specific optimization via system tools. In CrystalDiskMark, my 4K read performance jumped from 42MB/s to a steady 58-64MB/s, and the jarring hitches during scene transitions mostly vanished. To be fair, the first time I disabled the cache, I hit a snag with slight file index loss after an unexpected power cut, which I only fixed by setting up a small fixed-size page file. Now, the drive temps sit at 42-48℃ with a balanced IO load. Checking the monitoring panel, the IO queue depth is finally optimized, and frame times are rock steady at 5.1-6.4ms.
