Stop RTX 5060 AERO frequency drops in Palworld
Whenever I'm managing a massive base, the screen gets these tiny, irritating jumps that just kill the immersion—it's honestly exhausting. The Gigabyte RTX 5060 AERO was having a meltdown with voltage, swinging between 0.92V - 1.05V, which made the GPU clock bounce between 2400 MHz - 2600 MHz. I tried the 'Prefer Maximum Performance' toggle in the NVIDIA panel, but the card just shot up to 82°C and the stutters didn't budge. That whole trial-and-error phase was a complete nightmare. I eventually used MSI Afterburner to hard-lock the core clock at 2520 MHz and added a +0.05V offset. Checking the latency in RTSS, my frame times shrunk from a messy 18ms - 32ms down to a crisp 11ms - 15ms. Everything feels snappy now. I did hit a snag where the VRAM got too hot after locking the clock, but cranking the fan curve to 80% sorted it out. Core temps are now sitting pretty at 65°C - 72°C. 3DMark stress tests passed without a single drop, and the mouse response feels way more direct.
