How to fix power limit throttling on Zotac RTX 2060 Super?
The game just chugs violently whenever a sandstorm hits, and that kind of stuttering completely kills the immersion in an open world. Looking at my logs, the Zotac RTX 2060 Super core temps were skyrocketing to 84 - 89℃ under load, causing the clock to tank from 1800MHz down to around 1400MHz. My first instinct was to bump the power limit in the driver, but that was a disaster—temps hit 92℃ and triggered even harder throttling, which was incredibly frustrating. I switched gears and used MSI Afterburner to undervolt, locking the core voltage at 0.925V while maintaining a 1850MHz clock. In 3DMark stress tests, the frame rate stabilized from a jumpy 45 - 60 FPS to a consistent 55 - 58 FPS, with a temp drop of 8℃. I actually tried pushing it lower to 0.875V, but the game crashed after ten minutes, so I backed off to 0.925V for stability. VRAM stayed between 78 - 84℃ with fans spinning at 1800 RPM. HWInfo confirms the frequency curve is finally flat.
