GPU usage & fps drop after 10ish minutes of playing

When the game starts, my fps is fine. Around 60 to a 100.
But during the first game, at some point, the fps drops significantly to around 30 fps.

My pc specs are a bit unconventional so it might have something to do with it, but I do not have this issue with other games.

Specs: 
AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370
64GB DDR5 6500
RTX 3070 via Oculink @ constant 16GT/s

1440p
I use DLSS, no sync or framerate limiter
I do have target framerate at 120

In task manager > performance I can see that at the start of the game my GPU usage is 90ish% and framerates are great. But after a while you can feel that it becomes sluggish in movement.
I can see that at that point, the GPU usage is down to +- 30%.
At the end of a round I even got some graphical glitch where I would see a band of rainbow effect transparently overlayed on the graphics.
In HWinfo I can see that my PCIe Link speed is always at 16.0GT/s so it isn't the oculink speed.
If I test full cpu and gpu load with cinebench & furmark I see no drop in performance.

This seems to be a specific Battlefield 6 beta issue.
If I see changes during the next games, I'll post a reply here.
If more info is needed; please let me know!

    This is happening to me too.

    My fps drop from 140 to 20-30 in the first match.

    My specs:

    AMD RYZEN 7 7735HS / GEFORCE RTX 4060 /32GB RAM

    Same issue for me on 3070, 32gb ddr5, m.2 ssd nvme and i5 13600k. I found recommendations to downgrade from 578 nvidia driver to 577.00 through nvidia app, I will try that now.

    Yes, unfortunately it does absolutely nothing. My GPU usage is at 65% in main menu and 80% when I start new match (despite not meeting 144fps cap) and fps are at 90.

    After few minutes GPU usage drops to 40%, then fps slowly decline every minute until they finally drop to 45.

    My CPU usage is at 40-60% all the time (no matter if 90 or 45fps) but I enabled performance monitoring in game settings and when fps drops to 45 game displays cpu using red font instead of green one and shows values like 45 for cpu while it is at 90 at the beginning of match. 

    Not sure if it shows fps capability for specific pc part but when I start match values are at 90 for cpu and 160-180 for gpu with 120mp/s - which gives me 90 fps so it looks like my CPU is not utilized fully and then it goes even worse. 

    I tried enabling/disabling nvidia reflex, dlss, rendering future frames and few different options but nothing helps.

    It behaves like memory leak because exiting to main menu or starting new round does not help (so this cannot be debris on level). Restarting game helps for 1-2 matches then issue returns.

    something that made the game smoother for me was to enable vertical sync and yeah i know what people gonna say haha its only bfa6 and escape from tarkov i have it enabled otheriwse i always disable it but it actually made my fps be more constant, i only have 75hrtz monitor so thats what i land on normally but goes up to 120 sometimes too but thats because i have 2 screens connected but at least try to enable vertical sync and let me know how it goes

    I've tried that but no cigar.
    I can't figure it out, it's really making me angry. Why, after a while, is the FPS dropping so hard?
