How to fix frame tearing on Asgard Valkyrie DDR5 6000 C30?

During high-speed dives, I was seeing these nasty horizontal tears that felt completely wrong given the C30 low-latency specs. Frame time monitoring showed jumps between 11-38ms, meaning the GPU and memory were totally out of sync. My first instinct was to enable V-Sync in the driver, but that was a disaster—input lag spiked over 70ms, making the game feel like I was wading through mud. I pivoted, disabled V-Sync, and used RTSS to hard-lock the frame rate at 144 FPS while enabling Low Latency Mode in the BIOS. The fluctuation curve instantly flattened to a narrow 6.8-7.2ms range, and the tearing died. I actually tried locking at 165 FPS first, but temps hit 55-62℃ and caused occasional micro-stutters. Dropping to 144 FPS was the sweet spot. VRAM usage stayed at 6.2-7.8GB, and the flick response is finally snappy.
