Is memory scheduling the bottleneck in Wild Hunter

Comparing Report 7800XT-POLAR-05 on Win11, 3DMark stress tests revealed that while average FPS looked high, the 1% Lows were pathetic, fluctuating between 35 - 42 FPS. This creates a jarring visual tear. I tried enabling AMD SmartAccess Memory, but it was a drop in the bucket. I then swapped the Windows Power Plan to 'Ultimate Performance' and boosted the game process priority to 'High' via Task Manager. Now, 1% Lows have climbed to 52 - 58 FPS. Despite this, massive particle effects still trigger 0.2s freezes, proving that software scheduling can't fully mask the raw bandwidth limitations of the hardware at peak load.
