Why is Far Cry 7 stuttering on my Onda B760ITX-B4 board?
While sneaking into enemy camps, I noticed my frame rate swinging wildly between 90 and 50 FPS, which felt incredibly glitchy. The VRM on the Onda B760ITX-B4 had a response lag of 12-18ms under sudden loads, causing the CPU clock to bounce between 3.2GHz and 4.8GHz. I first tried the 'Ultimate Performance' power plan in Windows, but while the clock locked, my temps spiked to 92℃, which was a total nightmare. I eventually dove into the BIOS, disabled every single C-State power-saving option, and manually locked the core voltage at 1.25V. Monitoring via RTSS showed frame times tightening from 11-22ms down to a consistent 8-11ms. I actually hit a black screen and reboot loop when I first tried 1.1V, and it only stabilized once I bumped it back to 1.25V. Now, CPU temps sit comfortably between 78-84℃ with fans humming at 2200 RPM. The frequency curve is finally a flat line, and the gameplay is buttery smooth.
