When using AI filters in Expeditions: Rome, the textures loaded by Great Wall GW3300 show massive noise in the shadows. Is the color depth mapping broken?

Experiment Report ER-GW in a Windows 11 Studio driver environment used GPU-Z and nvidia-smi to detect VRAM temperatures fluctuating between 42C and 55C, peaking at 68C. My first instinct was to bump the resolution to hide the noise, but that only added lag—a total failure of a strategy. I then dove into the filter preview window to redefine shadow brightness thresholds and force alignment with the multi-stage color mapping matrix. Post-implementation, the shadow grain was slashed significantly, turning a hazy mess into a translucent, clean image with better punch. However, since the SSD has a tiny cache, extreme scene transitions still hit a lag of about 0.5s for the filter to load. The visual upgrade is undeniable, but the transition fluidity still feels subtly off.
