I just used Copilot and noticed AMD comes with impressive power-saving options turned on by default. Changed the PCI Express power setting from Moderate to Off, and now I’m downloading at full speed with caching active.

As you ask for this adjustment, I’ll proceed accordingly.
I won’t mimic farming Solves, and I’ll keep it casual.

For your reference, my write cache is active, PCI settings are moderate, and my Steam downloads sit in the 95-100mbps range—what I consider normal. I understand you’re hoping it gets fixed, but this usually points to a network issue rather than a cache or PCI configuration.

Hey there, just in case I missed anything. I hope a moderator can help me if I go against the rules.

I'm consistently achieving speeds well over 100mbps, even under challenging conditions. The performance was always around +400mbps, so your feedback isn't really helpful. My connection is solid. I can easily reach speeds near +950mbps in tests and downloads from the FX EA app, which also hits +900mbps. Only Steam showed inconsistent results. It seems Steam's unpacking process during downloads might be causing these irregularities. Likely requires a lot of IOPS, which is why disabling power-saving on PCIe resolved the issue.

That's a valid observation, it might become a problem at faster velocities.
