Stabilizing AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 3D V-Cache in BioShock 4?
During high-action combat, I'd get these tiny, irritating hitches. In a locked 144 FPS environment, it's super noticeable. I pulled up the GamePP Hardware Sensor Page and saw the 7800X3D hitting 78℃ - 84℃ during fights. While not at the absolute limit, the 3D V-Cache clocks were dipping slightly. I tried lowering the in-game settings, but the drops stayed, which proved it was a CPU thermal issue, not a GPU bottleneck. That trial and error actually helped me pinpoint the cause. I went into the GamePP Fan Curve Config Panel and forced the CPU cooler to 90% once it hit 75℃. In the RTSS Frame Time Analyzer, my frame times tightened from 6-12ms to a consistent 6-8ms, and the stutters vanished.
