How to solve VRAM scheduling lag on RTX 5060 in Pacific Drive?
While driving through the wasteland, I noticed my FPS dipping from 60 to 45, which was super obvious in 4K. The Gigabyte RTX 5060 Windforce 8G has enough bandwidth, but the driver cache was lagging by 14-20ms during heavy asset streaming. I first tried lowering the texture quality, but the game looked blurry and the stutters were still there—totally useless. I used DDU to wipe everything and installed the latest Studio drivers, then set the Power Management Mode to 'Prefer Maximum Performance' in the NVIDIA panel. RivaTuner showed frame times tightening from 18-32ms down to 11-15ms. I actually accidentally deleted my audio drivers during the process and had a silent game for a while, but a quick reinstall fixed it. GPU temps are now holding steady at 66-72℃. 3DMark stress tests confirm the VRAM throughput is finally hitting the mark, with temps staying around 64-69℃.
