Fixing memory scheduling lag on Onda B760ITX-B4 for Dragon Age
The way distant textures just sort of float in like broken shards is absolutely killing the immersion in this open world. I noticed the memory controller on the Onda B760ITX-B4 was hitting 92-110ns of latency out of the box, which just isn't enough for the massive data streaming this game requires. My first instinct was to crank the page file up to 32GB, but that was a complete waste of time—my FPS actually dropped from 72 down to 58. I realized I had to fix this at the hardware level. I flashed the BIOS to the latest version and manually locked the RAM at 3200MHz while bumping the voltage from 1.2V to 1.35V. AIDA64 showed read speeds jumping from 36GB/s to a solid 44-48GB/s, and the loading stutters vanished. I did hit a snag where the system threw random memory parity errors at first, but loosening the tRAS to 80 sorted that right out. RAM temps are holding steady at 45-52℃. After a four-hour stress test with zero crashes, the system is rock steady at 45-52℃.
