Why is my Crucial DDR4 2400MHz stuttering in Death Stranding 2?
While trekking through those jagged mountain terrains, I noticed these tiny, irritating jumps in the visuals. In a walking sim where immersion is everything, it's a total nightmare. With the Crucial DDR4 2400MHz 8GB kit, my memory commit size was constantly hitting a wall at 7.2-7.8GB when streaming 4K textures, forcing the system to lean on the slow page file. I saw response latencies swinging wildly between 85-110ns. I first tried switching to the High Performance power plan, and while the FPS sat at a steady 45, those instant hitches wouldn't budge, which left me totally baffled. Eventually, I manually locked the virtual memory to 16GB on my fastest NVMe partition and killed the dynamic frequency scaling in the BIOS. Checking Resource Monitor, the commit size expanded to 12.5-14.2GB, and the world loading became a breeze. Funnily enough, the first time I set the page file, load times actually slowed down by about 2 seconds until I disabled the disk indexing service. Memory temps stayed around 42-48℃ at 1.2V. After a 3-hour marathon, the stutters are gone, with frame times rock steady at 5.1-6.4ms.
