How to stop frequency fluctuations on Gigabyte RTX 5060 Ti?
The screen tearing was absolutely maddening. Every time I turned the camera quickly, a huge line would rip across the middle of the screen—a total visual disaster. The 5060 Ti's core clock was bouncing wildly between 2100MHz and 2600MHz, which sent my frame times into a tailspin. I tried turning on V-Sync, but that added about 40ms of input lag, making the combat feel like I was playing in molasses. I finally used MSI Afterburner to lock the core clock at 2450MHz and the voltage at 1.05V. Looking at the frame time graph, the jitter dropped from 12-30ms to a smooth 14-17ms, and the tearing completely vanished. I actually set the clock too high at first and the VRAM hit 88°C, so I had to dial it back by 50MHz to keep it stable. GPU temp now sits at 66-72°C with fans at 1600 RPM. Exported the profile so I don't have to do this again. The input response is finally snappy.
