Should I adjust voltage curves for Zhitai TiPro9000 in Hellblade 2?
I finally got the visuals looking incredible, but the smoothness vanished in complex scenes, with FPS crashing from 75 down to 42. Looking at the logs, the Zhitai TiPro9000 core was fluctuating by 18-25MHz during high bandwidth bursts, triggering a brief downclocking protection. I tried lowering the render resolution, but the loss in sharpness was depressing and not worth the trade-off. I ended up using a tuning tool to adjust the voltage curve, locking 2520MHz at 1.06V and switching the fans to an aggressive profile. In the frequency monitor, the core finally locked at a constant 2520MHz, and the drops disappeared. I did get some slight screen flickering after the first voltage tweak, but that went away once I set the power plan to Maximum Performance. GPU temps sat between 63-69℃ with fans at 1500-1700 RPM. Switched the performance mode from Auto to Manual in the control panel, and frame times settled at 5.1-6.4ms.
