Should I change Gear mode for Asgard Bragi II DDR5 6000?
Every time my ship took off into space, my frame rate would tank from 80 FPS down to 20 FPS, which was honestly anxiety-inducing. With XMP enabled, the memory controller on my Asgard Bragi II DDR5 6000 couldn't handle Gear 1, leading to constant background error corrections and frame times swinging wildly between 15ms and 55ms. I wasted time updating every single chipset driver in Windows, but it only made the PC boot 2 seconds faster and did absolutely nothing for the game, which was incredibly frustrating. I eventually went into the BIOS, forced the memory to Gear 2, and bumped the VDD voltage from 1.25V to 1.38V. In RTSS, the frame time graph finally stopped looking like a saw blade and flattened into a smooth line between 12-16ms. Interestingly, switching to Gear 2 initially dropped my bandwidth by about 6GB/s, so I had to manually push the frequency to 6200MHz to get that performance back. Temps hit 58-65℃, and the heatsinks felt quite warm. MemTest86 passed 4 cycles with zero errors, and the input lag is finally gone.
