Running a Mario emulator with a Zhitai TiPro9000 4TB SSD is causing read/write spikes and over-sharpened edges. Should I use built-in filters to fix this?

Report #05 on Windows 11 23H2 using GPU-Z showed controller temps between 52-57℃ with peak bandwidth at 3.9GB/s. I opened the NVIDIA Filter panel and dropped the sharpening strength to a 30% - 40% range, combining it with a contrast mask. The transitions became natural, and FPS fluctuations stayed within +/- 2.4 frames. While it looks great, fast scene changes still cause tiny freezes due to the physical throughput limits of the PCIe 4.0 lane. This proves that filters only fix the 'look'—they can't erase the instant latency of the storage device during extreme random reads.
