Why is my Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 6400 stuttering in cities?

While exploring the busy streets, I noticed my frame rate was jumping wildly between 110 and 82 FPS, which is an absolute nightmare during fast-paced combat. The default timings on the Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6400 were struggling with massive asset loads, with the tRFC parameter set way too high, leaving my memory latency hovering around 72-80ns. I first tried enabling Game Mode and killing all background tasks, but while CPU usage dropped by about 4%, the stuttering didn't budge—a pretty frustrating waste of time. I eventually dove into the BIOS and aggressively pushed the secondary timing tRFC down from 480 to 360, while nudging the SoC voltage from 1.1V to 1.15V. Monitoring via RTSS showed the frame time chaos of 12-25ms finally tightening up to a stable 14-17ms. It wasn't a straight path, though; the system threw two memory checksum errors during boot until I backed off the tRAS from 76 to 80. Memory temps stayed around 48-54℃. After a three-hour marathon session, the jitters are gone and the profile is saved.
