How to stop Zotac RTX 5070 Ti from throttling in Black Myth: Wukong?
This card is an absolute power hog. During boss fights with all the effects cranking, power draw would hit 320 Watts, causing my clocks to plummet from 2600 MHz down to 1500 MHz. It turned the game into a slideshow, which was just ridiculous. While the Zotac RTX 5070 Ti cooling is decent, my motherboard's VRM couldn't keep up with those spikes. I tried pushing the power limit to 110%, but the temp shot up to 85℃ and the fans sounded like a jet engine taking off—I was honestly laughing at how bad it was. I eventually used a voltage curve tool to undervolt the points above 2500 MHz by 20 mV and capped the power wall at 300 Watts. In RTSS, the frame times finally converged from 18 - 45 ms down to a tight 12 - 15 ms. I actually crashed to a black screen a few times while tuning the curve, but adding 10 mV back in stabilized everything. VRAM temp is 78 - 84℃, core is 68 - 74℃. Exported the logs, and it's finally running right.
