How to fix memory overflow on G.Skill Trident DDR4 3200?
The game would just freeze for a split second while swinging between skyscrapers, which is absolutely lethal in an open-world game. Checking the telemetry, my 8GB G.Skill Trident was pinned at 96-99% utilization while loading 4K textures, forcing the system to lean on the painfully slow disk-based virtual memory. My first instinct was to tank all the graphics settings to low, but the game looked like a relic from a decade ago, which was just depressing. Instead, I manually allocated a 32GB page file on a high-speed NVMe SSD partition and used a driver tool to lock the RAM frequency at 3200MHz. My 1% lows jumped from 30 FPS up to 55-62 FPS, and the hitching completely disappeared. I actually struggled with the page file setup at first because the partition format was wrong; I had to convert it to NTFS before the system would even recognize it. RAM temps stayed between 42-48℃ and CPU at 62-68℃. The input lag is gone, and it finally feels like the game is keeping up with my fingers.
