How to fix VRAM scheduling redundancy on Zotac RTX 5060 Ti?
Sneaking through the jungle should be smooth, but every time I flicked the camera, the FPS would tank from 80 down to 40, which totally ruins the immersion. Monitoring showed that the 16GB VRAM was toggling between power-saving and high-performance modes in low-load areas, causing the memory clock to swing violently between 210MHz and 2100MHz. I tried forcing Max settings to keep the clocks high, but the GPU hit 82℃, which felt way too risky for long sessions. I went into the NVIDIA Control Panel, changed the Power Management Mode to 'Prefer Maximum Performance', and added a +200MHz offset to the memory clock. In RivaTuner, the frame time variance dropped from 12-25ms to a tight 12-14ms. I noticed the idle power draw jumped by 15W after this, so I had to set a custom fan curve to balance the heat. VRAM usage stays between 9.2-11.4GB. Verified after three full combat missions that the drops are gone.
