Core Frequency Locking Method
Flying over vast alien surfaces, the screen would freeze noticeably every time I entered a new region. I first tried enabling Overclock mode in the driver, but core temperature spiked to 90℃ per HWiNFO and triggered throttling, making me very cautious. I used the GamePP Power Plan Switcher to set High Performance and locked the core frequency at 2600 MHz via the Hardware Sensor page. RivaTuner showed 1% lows improved from 42 to 65 FPS, while HWiNFO showed temps at 68-74℃ and GPU-Z confirmed 2600 MHz locked.
