Can I stop clock throttling on Zotac RTX 2060 Super?

In the middle of a firefight, my FPS would suddenly tank to 30—it felt like my GPU was trying to play the game in slow motion. The Turing architecture on the Zotac RTX 2060 Super struggles with modern DX12 titles, with clocks jumping erratically between 1600-1850MHz. I tried enabling 'Prefer Maximum Performance' in the drivers, but that just made my fans sound like a jet engine without actually improving the FPS, which was just laughable. I eventually used a tool to force the core clock to 1750MHz and pushed the memory to 7500MHz. In stress tests, average FPS climbed from 52 to 64, and the 1% lows stayed within a 10 FPS margin. I did have a few crashes at first because the voltage was too low, but bumping the core voltage to 1.08V stabilized everything. Temps are running hot at 72-78℃ with fans at 100%. I've exported all the frame time data, and the performance is finally consistent.
