How to fix memory fragmentation on Gloway DDR5 6000?
Once my city population hit a million, the game started running like it was stuck in molasses. The slow-motion effect was honestly a joke. With 16GB of Gloway Celestial Strategy Yi DDR5 6000, the sheer volume of high-poly models caused severe memory fragmentation, causing my effective bandwidth to crater from 52GB/s to a pathetic 28GB/s. I tried the classic move of killing all background processes in Task Manager, but it only gained me maybe 1 FPS—that kind of placebo fix is a total waste of time. I eventually used a third-party memory optimizer to force a memory address reorganization and locked the Windows page file at 32GB. In CrystalDiskMark, my random 4K read performance jumped from 35MB/s to 52-58MB/s, and the stuttering while zooming into the city vanished. I did crash the game once during the reorganization process until I lowered the frequency of the cleanup. RAM temps stayed between 48-54℃, and CPU usage was around 70-85%. I exported all the peak read/write data from the performance panel for my records. Data exported.
