Is the Sapphire RX 7650 GRE struggling with Metal Gear Solid Delta?

Whenever dense foliage and shadows loaded at once, my frame rate would tank from 80 FPS to 35 FPS, which honestly gave me a bit of anxiety. The core clock on the Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE 8G was jumping erratically by 150-300MHz during peak loads, causing a massive bottleneck in the rendering pipeline. In a moment of desperation, I tried an aggressive overclock profile in the driver, but it just led to a blue screen the second a fight started. That's when I realized voltage instability was the real culprit. I locked the core voltage at 1.12V and disabled Radeon Anti-Lag in the software, switching to the game's native sync options instead. According to RTSS, my 1% lows jumped from 32 FPS to 55 FPS, which is a night-and-day difference. I also tried lowering the resolution at first, but the aliasing was hideous until I enabled FSR Quality mode and tweaked the sharpening filter. GPU temps are now steady at 65-72℃ with fans humming between 1700-2000 RPM. 3DMark stress tests confirm the load is balanced, and the settings are locked in.
