My Samsung 980 PRO controller temp is jumping all over the place during realm travel in God of War, causing frame time spikes. Should I adjust sampling rates?

Stopped the temp spikes during realm travel by calibrating FPSMonitor and AIDA64. The screen tearing is gone, my eyes finally stopped aching.

How to calibrate Samsung 980 PRO monitoring samples?

In lab environment 2026-SS-03, FPSMonitor showed 1% lows swinging violently between 19.8ms - 25.9ms, with controller temps bouncing between 50℃ - 65℃. Every teleport felt like the screen was ripping apart. I tried shortening the sampling period to 500ms, but the sensor refresh was still out of sync with the render timing. I then used the AIDA64 sensor panel to lock the bandwidth node and nudged the sampling interval to 755ms. After a reboot, FPSMonitor showed frame generation stabilizing at 21.6ms - 26.5ms. With adaptive V-Sync, I got it down to 20.1ms - 24.1ms. Even with a 98.8% sync rate, I can still feel a tiny bit of jitter in heavy scenes, so it's not 100% linear.
