How to optimize Nioh for 8GB Kingston FURY DDR4 2400?
In the middle of a fight, 8GB is just not enough. I was getting 0.3s freezes every few seconds, which is a death sentence in Nioh. The Kingston FURY 2400 is stable, but the lack of capacity forces the system to rely on slow disk swapping. I tried dropping all textures to Low, but the game looked like a pixelated mess and the stutters stayed. I ended up tweaking the Windows memory compression algorithm via the registry and locked the page file at 12GB on my fastest NVMe partition. In Resource Monitor, hard page faults dropped from 12 per second to just 3-5, making the combat feel way smoother. I had some weird boot lag after the registry edit, but two restarts and a cache clear fixed it. RAM temps are 40-46℃ and CPU load is 80-88%. 1% Lows are finally stable, with RAM heat staying around 42-46℃.
