Fixing Zotac RTX 5070 Ti VRAM write delays in Helldivers 2?
Every time an orbital strike hits, my frames swing wildly between 120 and 50. It's an absolute nightmare and makes me want to throw my keyboard. The Zotac SOLID CORE struggles with the massive amount of particle data, and the VRAM response time jumps between 15-35ms, which desyncs the whole engine. I tried adding 32GB of virtual memory first, but while the RAM usage dropped, the latency stayed exactly the same—it was a completely pointless effort. I finally went into Device Manager and forced the disk write cache to 'flush' and disabled PCIe Link State Power Management in the BIOS. Testing in AIDA64, the random write latency plummeted from 28ms to 10-14ms, and the air strike drops are way less noticeable. I did notice my idle power draw went up a bit after disabling power management, but I balanced it out by tweaking the power plan. VRAM is sitting at 72-78℃. I saved a snapshot of these settings because I'm not going through that struggle again.
