Is Crucial DDR4 3200MHz 16GB causing lag in towns?
Every time my character stepped into a crowded town, the screen would hit these infuriating micro-stutters that made the game almost unplayable. It was driving me crazy. The default timings on my Crucial DDR4 3200MHz 16GB kit were hitting high latencies of 88-115 ns when handling dense NPC logic. I tried dropping shadow quality to the absolute minimum, which gave me a measly 5 FPS boost but did nothing for the stuttering. That whole trial-and-error phase was a total nightmare. I eventually went into the BIOS Advanced Memory settings and manually squeezed the primary timings from 22-22-22-52 down to 18-20-20-42, while bumping the voltage from 1.20V to 1.35V. AIDA64 showed my latency drop from 102 ns to 74 ns, and the town scenes suddenly became buttery smooth. I did blue-screen three times during the first few attempts, but loosening the tRFC parameter finally stabilized the system. RAM temps stayed between 46-52℃ and the VRM was around 55-60℃. After a full stability pass, the new timings are locked in.
