Should I tweak settings if the Manli Snow Fox RTX 5070 OC has path tracing flickers in neon areas of Night City?

The neon lights in the clubs were having these bizarre color bleeds with path tracing maxed out, which totally killed the immersion. My Manli Snow Fox RTX 5070 OC was running cool at 58-64℃, but the shader compilation queue was backing up in the background, sending frame times swinging wildly between 18-35ms. I tried lowering the ray tracing presets, and while I gained about 15 FPS, the lighting looked flat and cheap, which actually made me more anxious about the build. I ended up using DDU for a clean wipe and installed the latest studio-verified driver, then manually purged 6.8GB of shader cache. Using RTSS, I saw the frame times tighten from 22-35ms down to a consistent 13-16ms. The only downside was that the initial shader recompilation took a grueling 40 minutes before it actually stabilized. VRAM usage is now steady at 10.4-12.1GB with fans at 1400-1600 RPM. 3DMark confirms the artifacts are gone, and the mouse input feels way more responsive.
