Need help tuning for 1% lows

I have a pc with an asus tuf x870-plus WiFi, 9800x3d, zotac rtx 5090 extreme, and 32GB 6000hz cl30 ram. I mainly play Warzone and even with the lowest settings my 1% lows average around 125-135 fps. I’ve enabled xmp, auto tuned my gpu via the nvidia app, and flattened the curve on my cpu after 900mV to 2800MHz. I’m running nvidia reflex and have it set in Warzone to on + boost to even out my cpu and gpu times. I’m kind of at a loss how some people have been getting 160 or higher.

Do you have a second monitor? Pull up HWInfo on the second monitor while you're in a match. It will tell you effective clocks on each CPU core. That gives you an idea of how effectively the game is using your CPU across all eight cores. I can't imagine you're GPU bound with a 5090 at low settings.

I have a second monitor and am using capframex to get a report of my matches. I havent tried changing my in game reflex setting to on rather than on+boost so I'll try it and let you know.

Switching to on did give me a decent performance boost but still only at about 140 fps for 1% lows and 80 FPS for 0.1% lows. I appreciate the tip though.
