How to resolve image sync issues on Manli RTX 5080 OC?

The screen was riddled with bizarre color bleeding and edge tearing, and at 4K, that kind of flickering just gives you a massive headache. Checking my logs, the core clock on the Manli RTX 5080 OC was bouncing between 2500 - 2700 MHz, which sent frame times swinging violently from 12 - 30ms. My first instinct was to lower the ray tracing settings, but that just killed the visuals and the flickering didn't even go away—it felt like a complete shot in the dark. I then went into the driver panel, forced 'Enhanced Sync' on, and locked the sampling rate to 120 Hz. Using a frame time analyzer, the jitter quickly narrowed down to a tight 9 - 13ms window, and the flickering vanished completely. It wasn't all smooth sailing, though; the system actually black-screened and rebooted once after enabling Enhanced Sync, until I nudged the core voltage to 1.18V to stabilize it. Now, GPU temps stay between 62 - 68℃ with fans humming at 1400 - 1600 RPM. I ran a 3DMark stress test to confirm the sync strategy is holding up, and VRAM temps are staying chilled at 58 - 63℃.
