Fixing AMD Ryzen 7 9700X scheduling in Project Orion?
Driving through the neon streets of Night City, I'd get these sudden 0.2-second freezes that made me really cautious about my stability. The core scheduling on the Ryzen 7 9700X was tripping up during heavy NPC physics calculations, leaving some cores pinned at 100% while others just sat there, with frame times swinging between 12-35ms. I tried setting the game process to 'High' priority in Windows, but that just crashed my background drivers and killed the game—definitely not a viable solution. I eventually went into the BIOS, enabled PBO Enhanced Mode, and set the Curve Optimizer to -20 across all cores to stabilize the single-core boost. In Cinebench R23, my multi-core score climbed from 17500 to 18200, with temps between 75-82℃. I did have some random boot failures at -20, so I had to back it off to -15 to get it fully stable. Now the game stays between 90-110 FPS. After 8 hours of testing, the performance is verified.
