FPS Drop After 2–3 Matches (Possible Resource Leak)

Platform: PC (Windows 11, EA App)

Specs:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
  • GPU: AMD RX 6600 XT (Adrenalin 25.9.xx, undervolt -100 mV)
  • RAM: 16 GB DDR4 3200 MHz (2×8)
  • Motherboard: MSI A320M A PRO MAX
  • Storage: SSD
  • OS: Windows 11 24H4

Issue Description:

After playing Battlefield 6 for 2–3 consecutive matches, my FPS consistently drops from ~80–90 FPS down to 35–50 FPS. This only occurs after multiple games, not on the first match.

  • During the first 1–2 matches:
    • CPU usage is 90–100%, temperature around 85–95°C, clock speeds >4.5 GHz.
    • GPU power draw is ~110W, GPU usage ~95–99%, FPS stable above 75–85 even in crowded fights.
  • Starting from the 3rd match:
    • CPU usage drops below 80% while temps and clock speeds remain the same (~85°C, >4.5 GHz).
    • GPU power draw drops to ~70–80W, but GPU usage still shows 95%+.
    • FPS drops significantly to 35–50.
    • In the lobby, GPU power usage returns to ~110W, but once the next match starts, it stays limited again (~70–80W).

Workaround:

Restarting the game (without restarting the PC) restores normal FPS and GPU wattage for another 1–2 matches before the problem happens again.

Notes:

  • This is not thermal throttling since CPU temps and clocks remain stable.
  • Looks like a possible memory/shader cache leak or driver/game resource issue since GPU usage is reported high but actual performance is degraded.
  • Similar issues have been reported on BF2042 with AMD drivers, so this may be related.

Request:

Please investigate if there is a resource/memory leak in Battlefield 6 that causes GPU to downscale wattage and performance after multiple matches. Any workaround or driver/game patch would be appreciated.

    This is affecting me and many others on pc.

    It needs addressing ASAP, I don’t want to play anymore if I need to keep restarting my £60 game. 

    Please fix this!!
