I checked the video and saw that your 4 TB NVMe WD black sn850x is set to run at 4K sector size, but it was actually using 512. You might want to switch the sector size if you're aiming for 4K performance. The only thing you use is games, so it's good to focus on that. Thanks for your question!

Are you referring to the filesystem cluster size? The drive's hardware sector size remains fixed.

I can adjust the resolution from 512 to 4K in the bios. The site claims the NVMe should support 4K, but it’s currently set to 512. The main issues I observed are texture pop in older titles such as Far Cry 5, plus minor stuttering and about 99% FPS drops to 70fps from 200fps in games like Overwatch 2 and Siege.

Which board? You can display that choice in the bios. I think those problems are unrelated, but feel free to try if you're interested.

Rog Strix X870 gaming Wi-Fi uses Asus Secure Erase. It supports 4K formatting. System info lists the drive as 512, which isn't its standard speed listed on the NVMe site. Are you noticing any performance issues?

It seems like the drive is likely a 4K/512GB model. I believe it's improbable that mistaking this would lead to obvious problems in games.

With a 4080 Super, 7800X3D, and 64GB RAM, my machine is struggling to keep up in most games. Even a slight frame drop causes noticeable issues—my 1% FPS jumps to around 200, then crashes to about 70 before recovering.
