How to stop Zhitai TiPro9000 4TB from stuttering in GTA VI?
It's absolutely unbearable—driving through this massive city and getting a 0.3s hitch every few blocks feels like I'm being yanked back by an invisible rope. Once the dynamic SLC cache on the Zhitai TiPro9000 4TB fills up, read speeds crash from 7000MB/s to under 1200MB/s, causing massive loading gaps. I tried setting virtual memory to half the drive's free space, but that just created disk fragmentation and did nothing; it was a garbage solution. I finally went into Device Manager, bumped the NVMe queue depth to 2048, and flashed the latest firmware. CrystalDiskMark showed 4K random reads jumping from 48-55MB/s to 65-72MB/s, and the stutters vanished. I had a brief recognition delay after the update, but switching power management to 'High Performance' fixed it. SSD temps are 45-52℃ and the heatsink is 58-63℃. Settings are backed up.
