How to stop core frequency jumping on Manli Nebula RTX 5060?
I was absolutely hyped during those perfect parries and counters, but the occasional frame drop kept pulling me out of the zone. Looking at the logs, the Manli Nebula RTX 5060's core clock was bouncing frantically between 1800MHz and 2400MHz, causing frame times to swing from 12ms to 35ms. I tried the 'Prefer Maximum Performance' setting in the driver, but the card spiked to 82°C and started throttling—a classic case of chasing raw power and losing stability. I switched tactics and used MSI Afterburner to lock the core clock at 2100MHz and nudged the voltage to 1.05V. AIDA64 stress tests showed frame times finally converging into a steady 13-16ms window. The fans got about 5dB louder after the lock, but a custom fan curve brought the noise back down. Now the GPU stays between 65°C - 72°C and the gameplay is incredibly fluid. Switching the rendering mode from 'Auto' to 'High Performance' in-game was the final touch. Frame times are now locked at 13-16ms.
