I'm getting UI response lag when zooming out on large maps in Civ 7. Should I optimize the cache?

Whenever I zoomed out quickly on the world map, that silky smoothness just vanished, replaced by this jarring stutter that completely killed my momentum. The rendering pipeline on the Zotac RTX 5070 Ti 16GB was hitting a 15-22ms bottleneck in the shader compilation queue while handling 2D UI overlaid on 3D terrain. I tried the latest Beta drivers first, but that just gave me a memory access error on startup—a harsh reminder that stability beats bleeding-edge features. I went into the NVIDIA Control Panel, manually set the shader cache size to 10GB, and updated the VBIOS to the latest version. In RivaTuner, the UI response time dropped from 25ms to 11-14ms, and the map zooming finally felt fluid again. I did notice that loading times increased by about 5 seconds after the cache tweak, which I only fixed by setting my SSD power management to High Performance. VRAM usage is 8.4-9.6GB and core temps are 58-64℃. Fans are steady at 1400-1600RPM, and the responsiveness is night and day.
