Is Gloway Dragon Warrior Yi the cause of these bad 1% lows?
Refer to Stress Report 20250720-PC on Win11. 3DMark memory tests exposed a brutal asymmetry: 85 average FPS but a pathetic 22 FPS for 1% lows in chaotic scenes, confirming a scheduling bottleneck. Enabling XMP led to immediately unstable BSODs, which was devastating. I shifted the Windows Power Plan to 'High Performance' and forced the game process priority to 'High' via Task Manager. This jumped the 1% lows to 48 FPS with a stable window between 45 and 60 FPS. The responsiveness felt like being pulled out of a swamp. Note that this pushed HWiNFO thermals to 62C; without aggressive cooling, the hardware will eventually throttle, bringing the performance right back to the gutter.
