How to fix TiPro9000 2TB write lag in Star Wars Outlaws?
Every time I take off in my ship or land on a new planet, the screen gives this annoying twitch. It's frustrating that a 2TB drive still does this. The TiPro9000 has a huge SLC cache, but when dealing with the game's frequent small random writes, response times swing between 15-40ms, leaving the CPU waiting on I/O. I tried turning off autosaves, but after a crash, I lost two hours of progress—a brutal lesson that I had to fix this at the system level. I updated the NVMe controller drivers, enabled 'Force Write Cache Flush' in Device Manager, and switched to the High Performance power plan. CrystalDiskMark random writes jumped from 180 MB/s to 220-250 MB/s, and the autosave hitches are way less noticeable. I did notice a slight delay during shutdown after the tweak, but disabling Fast Startup fixed it. Drive temps are 45-52℃, and RAM temps are holding at 58-63℃.
