I just installed a Gigabyte Windforce RTX 5070 Ti and ran the Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark at RT Ultra with DLSS Quality set to 1440p. Initially, I was getting around 110 FPS average. After overclocking with MSI Afterburner, bumping the memory by +2000 MHz and the core by +400 MHz, my FPS increased to 117. However, when I tried tweaking some BIOS settings on my ASUS TUF motherboard to potentially boost power limits, it didn't help, and I reverted the changes. Later, after using the Gigabyte Control Center and running a scan, my FPS dropped significantly to 101 average, even though I kept the same settings and overclock. I've checked several things like GPU boost speeds, temperatures, and CPU usage, but nothing seems to explain or fix this drop. Does anyone know what might have caused this sudden decrease?

Have you turned on your RAM overclock? Your motherboard doesn't manage GPU power limits, so that could be affecting performance.
Yeah, I did enable the EXPO profile for RAM, but I'm just baffled because I didn't change much in the BIOS except to revert it back.
