How to fix frame pacing issues on Gigabyte RTX 5060 Ti?
Those sudden visual breaks during high-stakes clashes were a disaster, throwing off my parry timing completely. It's an incredibly frustrating feeling when the hardware betrays you. I tracked the issue down to the Gigabyte RTX 5060 Ti 16G core clock jumping erratically between 2100MHz and 2600MHz, which caused frametimes to swing from 12ms to 28ms. My first instinct was to enable V-Sync in the driver, but that added about 30ms of input lag, making the game feel sluggish and unresponsive. Instead, I used an overclocking tool to hard-lock the core frequency at 2520MHz and bumped the memory clock to 10500MHz to widen the bandwidth. Looking at the RivaTuner graph, the jagged frametime spikes flattened into a smooth line between 8-12ms. I did hit a snag where temps climbed to 78-82℃ initially, but I fixed that by aggressive fan curves at 70% load. VRAM usage stayed stable between 9.2-11.5GB. After ten straight Boss fights, the tearing is gone and the experience is flawless.
