Can Gear mode adjustments fix memory sync errors on Biostar B650MT?
Whenever I flew fast over the planet surface, the game would just freeze for a split second, which is a nightmare in a dogfight. The memory controller on the Biostar B650MT was unstable at 6000MHz, jumping between Gear 1 and Gear 2, causing frametimes to swing from 12-30ms. I tried updating all the chipset drivers in Windows, but it only gave me 2 extra FPS—barely noticeable. It was clear the bottleneck was at the hardware sync level. I went into the BIOS, forced Gear 2, and nudged the VDDQ voltage from 1.25V to 1.32V. In RTSS, the frametime curve immediately flattened to 11-15ms. I did lose about 4GB/s of bandwidth initially, but I made it up by overclocking to 6200MHz. Memory temps are sitting at 52-60℃. MemTest86 passed without errors, and the temps remain steady at 52-60℃.
