How to stop Zhitai TiPro9000 2TB from lagging in Phantom Blade Zero?
Every time I trigger a massive ultimate effect, the game hitches in a way that's absolutely infuriating for an action title. The Zhitai TiPro9000 2TB's dynamic SLC cache is the culprit—once it's full, write speeds tank from 6500 MB/s to below 800 MB/s, causing the resource queue to back up. I wasted time trying to set the virtual memory to half my remaining disk space, but that just created more I/O conflicts and actually increased the stutter frequency, which was beyond stressful. I eventually switched gears, went into Device Manager, and bumped the NVMe queue depth from 1024 to 2048, then forced the write cache flush policy in performance options. CrystalDiskMark showed 4K random reads improving from 50 - 60 MB/s to 70 - 80 MB/s. I had a brief moment where the drive wasn't recognized after the change, but switching to the High Performance power plan fixed it. Temps are stable at 48 - 58 ℃, and the input lag is finally gone.
