Used A6000 worth it now

Can you fill in a bit more context? Are you testing this on M3 Max or something else?

What worked for me was pretty simple. On 4090, the easiest win is often to back off the aggressive settings and see whether the problem survives.

Not sure I agree there. I get why that seems right, but on M3 Max the bottleneck felt elsewhere. Not saying you're wrong, just that I wouldn't lock that in as the lesson yet.

Tried to reproduce it just now. The issue went away once I changed one setting and restarted the stack cleanly. The main thing that moved was latency, not quality.
