How to fix GPU scheduling lag on Gainward RTX 5070 Ti?
When thousands of Tyranids swarm the screen, the game just hitches. It's a tiny pause, but in a war game, it feels fatal. Even though the Gainward RTX 5070 Ti has insane clocks, the GPU scheduling latency was swinging between 12-28ms, making the frame delivery feel uneven. I tried killing every background app and recording software, but that only helped by maybe 2%—a total waste of time. I updated to the latest Game Ready driver and switched the Power Management Mode to 'Prefer Maximum Performance' in the NVIDIA panel. RTSS showed the frame intervals tightening from 11-30ms to a steady 8-13ms. The only downside was that the GPU wouldn't downclock at idle, keeping temps high, so I set the profile to only trigger when the game is active. Temps are now steady at 66-72℃. The chaos is now perfectly fluid.
