How to fix response lag on Vastarmor RX 9070 XT?
Nothing kills the immersion of walking through the Bohemian countryside like a sudden frame drop. I checked the logs and found the GPU clock diving from 2100MHz to 1200-1400MHz in a split second. Looking back, I had set my power-saving mode way too aggressively to save a few cents on electricity, which ended up being a total performance killer. I decided to lock the core frequency between 2400-2600MHz and raised the minimum voltage floor to 0.92V. The sensors showed peak temps stayed under 76-80℃, and frame intervals dropped from 15.4-22.1ms to 10.2-12.5ms. I tried increasing the virtual memory first, but that just caused disk I/O conflicts. It wasn't until I moved the game to a Gen5 NVMe SSD that the stuttering truly vanished. This Super Alloy cooler is a beast, and as long as the clocks are stable, the performance is insane. I switched the motherboard profile to 'Performance', and VRAM temps are now steady at 58-63℃.
