I solved the problem.
The solution was:
To disable SMT in the BIOS in order to halve my cores—in other words, to use only the 16 physical cores out of 32 logical cores.
Nevertheless, EA should fix this!

Thanks a lot, bro! Disabling SMT completely solved the same issue on my Ryzen 9 5950X. I really hope EA fixes this soon so the game works properly on all CPUs without these BIOS tweaks.

Update after 5 months:
I’m still experiencing the exact same issue.
After around 10–15 minutes of gameplay, FPS drops heavily.
Important finding:
With SMT enabled → issue occurs
With SMT disabled → performance is stable
So this still looks like a CPU/thread scheduling issue, especially on high core count CPUs.
My system:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
RAM: 16GB
Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING
OS: Windows 11 Pro 64-bit
BIOS: Updated (version 5602)
