How to stop RTX 5060 Ti scheduling lag in MGS Delta?
While sneaking through the jungle, I kept getting these tiny hitches that are absolutely lethal in a stealth game. The clock speeds were fine, but GPU scheduling latency was swinging between 12-28ms during heavy Ambient Occlusion passes, making the frame delivery feel uneven. I tried killing all background recording software, but that only helped by maybe 2%—it was a drop in the bucket. I updated to the latest Game Ready driver and forced 'Prefer Maximum Performance' in the NVIDIA panel. RTSS showed the frame intervals shrinking from 11-30ms to a consistent 8-13ms. At first, the card wouldn't downclock at idle, making it run hot, so I set the power profile to trigger only when the game is active. Temps now sit at 66-72℃. The lag is gone, but the driver update process was a bit glitchy.
