How to fix delayed sensor data in Gears 5

Found this pattern in Report 5060Ti-X-09 using HWiNFO. The default 2000ms polling interval is useless in chaotic combat; I thought my temps were fine while the card was already thermal throttling. I went into HWiNFO -> Sensor Settings -> Global and manually forced the polling rate to 500ms. Immediately, core clocks began jumping between 2400MHz - 2600MHz in real-time, perfectly matching the in-game hitches. The telemetry lag shrunk from 2s to under 0.5s. A word of caution: this increased CPU usage by 2% - 3%, which might cause slight stuttering on older CPUs, so you have to balance your precision against your overhead.
