Why does Kingdom Come: Deliverance have texture loss and popping when moving fast on an Intel 660P 2TB? Page file fix?

Every time I galloped into a new area, the walls and ground would turn into blurry blobs of color. That kind of visual breakage is honestly anxiety-inducing. The Intel 660P 2TB was hovering around 68-75MB/s for random reads, but I was hitting random 200ms latency spikes when loading 4K texture packs. I tried dropping textures to 'Medium', but the game lost all its soul, and I felt defeated by my own hardware. I finally updated the firmware via the official tool and disabled 'Link State Power Management' in the Windows Power Options. In CrystalDiskMark, the read curve flattened out, and the textures started popping in instantly. Weirdly, the firmware update added 2 seconds to my boot time, which I only fixed after disabling 'Fast Boot' in the BIOS. Temps are now steady at 45-52℃. The resource loading is no longer dropping packets, and the input response feels way more connected to my fingertips.
