Does Gear mode fix latency for G.Skill Trident Z DDR4 3600?
This RAM kit was barely hanging on while running my mountain of addons. In the main city, my FPS was bouncing between 40 and 70—absolutely pathetic. The memory controller was choking, with latency swinging 110-130ns and causing 15-30ms of frame time jitter. I tried dropping the graphics to Low, but the game looked like mud and the stutters stayed. Total waste of time. I went into the BIOS, forced the mode to Gear 1, and bumped the voltage to 1.38V to keep it from crashing. In RTSS, the frame time graph went from looking like an EKG to a flat line at 12-16ms. It was a struggle; I got two Blue Screens of Death during launch until I loosened tRFC to 520. Now RAM sits at 52-58℃ and CPU at 68-74℃. I exported the logs, and the fans are steady at 1400-1600 RPM. Finally playable.
