Can I fix RTX 5070 Ti frame jumps via priority settings?
The transient power spikes on this card are like electric shocks; swinging through Manhattan makes the frame rate look like an EKG monitor, which is just ridiculous. The Gainward RTX 5070 Ti Snow Step OC 2.0 hits peaks around 450W, causing millisecond voltage dips that trigger the GPU's protective downclocking. I tried 'Power Saving' mode first, but my FPS tanked from 120 to 70, which felt like a joke and left me totally stuck. I eventually used Afterburner to drop the Power Limit from 110% to 90% and set a core voltage offset of -0.05V. In RTSS, the frame times stopped swinging between 8 - 30ms and converged to a tight 6 - 10ms. I lost about 5 FPS in peak scenarios, but the overall smoothness is way better. I had to tweak the fan curve a bit more to be happy with the noise. Core temps are now a steady 60 - 66℃. I exported all the transient power logs for archival, with fans stable at 1400 - 1600 RPM.
