How to fix Gears 5 frame drops caused by WD Black SN750 SE driver conflict?

Combat in Gears 5 became unplayable as frame time spiked to 45ms. I tried disabling the disk in Device Manager, which broke system access. I used GamePP Peripheral Driver Conflict Detector to set sync to Manual and enable hardware encoding. RivaTuner confirmed frame intervals stabilized to 7-12ms, while CPU usage dropped to 65-72% and fan speed reached 2200-2500 RPM, ensuring stable performance.
