How to fix memory scheduling on Radeon RX 9070 XT Alloy?
Driving fast through Night City felt like a nightmare; there were these tiny, jarring frame skips that were incredibly obvious at 4K. The default frequency scaling on the Vastarmor Radeon RX 9070 XT Alloy is way too aggressive for Path Tracing, causing the core clock to swing between 2.4GHz and 2.8GHz, which created a nasty 12-25ms frame time jitter. I tried toggling Windows Game Mode, but that did absolutely nothing for the tearing—it was just a waste of time. The real fix came after updating to the latest Beta drivers and manually locking the core frequency at 2600MHz while disabling all global power-saving features. In AIDA64 stress tests, the memory latency tightened from 92ns to a consistent 78-84ns, and the tearing under neon lights finally disappeared. I did hit a snag early on where the driver reset twice, but bumping the memory voltage slightly to 1.32V stabilized everything. Core temps now hover around 68-74℃ with fans at 1400-1600 RPM. After three long sessions, the sync link is solid and VRAM temps stay within 58-63℃.
