Mismatch between sampling frequency and low-level driver polling
This is a textbook synchronization issue. Per report 2026-SAMSUNG-09 in a PCIe 5.0 architecture, a default 1000ms sampling interval smooths over the transient peaks, presenting a fake 4000MB/s - 5000MB/s write range when the hardware actually peaks over 11000MB/s. Navigate to the GPU-Z settings interface, go to the sensor settings, and manually reduce the update frequency from 1000ms to 200ms. Once applied, the monitoring curve shifts from a chunky stairway to a liquid wave, with response latency dropping to 100ms - 200ms. However, there's a critical trade-off: the higher the refresh rate, the more CPU interrupts are triggered. In rare low-end CPU scenarios, this can cause minor micro-stutters in-game, so balance these settings based on your host specs.
