How to stop frequency jumps on Zotac RTX 5060 Ti XGAMING?

The clock speeds on this card during heavy fights felt like a lottery—one second it's 2600 MHz, the next it's diving to 1800 MHz. The result was a micro-stutter every few seconds that made me want to throw my monitor. The Zotac XGAMING factory preset is way too aggressive, causing violent frequency swings the moment it hits the temp wall. I tried lowering the power limit to keep it stable, but my average FPS dropped from 80 to 60, which was a joke of a solution. I ended up using MSI Afterburner to lock the core clock at 2450 MHz and pushed the fan curve to 85% at 65℃. Clock fluctuations dropped to within 10 MHz, and the stutters vanished. I did have two crashes early on because the voltage was too low, but a tiny +0.02V bump fixed it. GPU temps stay between 68-74℃. The fans are a bit louder, but I can live with it. Exported the profile and it's finally stable.
