CPU performance drops massively while waiting or even playing

Hello,

I'm experiencing the exact same issue as others: CPU latency and usage drop heavily during queue times and even in gameplay.

FPS start okay, but after a while, CPU frame time increases and the game becomes unplayable or very stuttery.

GPU stays mostly fine, and other games like BFV run perfectly on my machine.

I've tried everything:

Power plan: max performance

NVIDIA settings: everything optimized

Reinstalled the game

Tried both fullscreen and windowed

Disabled Xbox Game Bar, background apps, overlays

Monitored temps and usage: nothing is overheating

Still, the issue persists.

I’m using an RTX 3060 Laptop GPU and a Ryzen 7 5800H, 16GB RAM, SSD. Drivers and Windows are fully up to date.

Clearly this is not a hardware issue — only this game causes the problem. Hopefully we’ll get a patch soon because this makes the beta very difficult to test properly.

I'll add screenshots of my in-game FPS and frame times below.

Thanks.
