Is my MSI B450M MORTAR MAX causing stutters in Dying Light 2?
Whenever I'm jumping between rooftops, the frame rate just plummets from 80 FPS down to 22 FPS out of nowhere, which completely ruins the flow of the game. The memory controller on my MSI B450M MORTAR MAX was struggling with the open-world data, with frequencies jumping unstable between 2933 MHz - 3200 MHz, absolutely killing my 1% lows. I wasted time trying to increase the Windows virtual memory to 64 GB, but that just made loading times 30% longer—it was a total waste of effort. I finally went into the BIOS, hard-locked the RAM frequency at 3000 MHz, set the timings strictly to 16-18-18-36, and pushed the voltage to 1.35 V. Checking RTSS, my minimums jumped from 22 FPS to 54 FPS, and the graph finally flattened out. I did get a BSOD right after locking the frequency, but bumping the SoC voltage from 1.0 V to 1.1 V sorted it. RAM temps stayed between 42℃ - 48℃. Benchmarks show the frequency is finally stable, and the input lag is gone.
