Fixing VRAM lag on Manli Snow Fox RTX 5070 OC 12GB in Civ 7
Map zooming is finally fluid again, and the physical difference in responsiveness is night and day. Before this, every time I zoomed out for a full-map preview in the late game, the screen would just freeze for about 0.5 seconds. The GamePP Hardware Sensor Page showed VRAM bandwidth utilization spiking between 94-98%. My first instinct was to set the Nvidia power management to 'Prefer Maximum Performance,' but that just made the fans louder without fixing the stutters, which was honestly frustrating. I then went into the GamePP Resource Scheduler Panel, set the game process VRAM priority to 'Highest,' and manually flushed 3.8 GB of redundant shader cache.
