Community ManagerTry using an app like Speccy to monitor your hardware temperatures, your issue sounds like overheating.

Thanks.
@EA_BarryMight be similar to my experience: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Bad-performance-after-changing-graphics-settings-in-the-menu/m-p/12129964#M718
I'm not overheating btw, all well within range (I have VSync on and DLSS on balanced, so nowhere near max utilisation on GPU/CPU). Easily verified too as I don't have the problem as long as I don't touch the graphics menu.- @EA_Barry I appreciate your response! I picked up Speccy and watched my temps, also opened my Radeon software to watch my GPU's temp. During my gameplay, my temps stayed consistent throughout the entire playtime, though I will say, my GPU's temp cooled down quickly when the game began to stutter again. Do you have any clue what this could mean?
I am having the same experience on my RX 6900XT (Ryzen 5900X for CPU), but my performance experiences have been almost exclusively in multiplayer.
I am not on the latest Radeon drivers (2022.11.1), because I attempted to roll back to confirm it wasn't a new driver problem.
On multiplayer, I can do a 1-2 playlists before I see a bit of skipping, and then usually mid-race, I drop to about 2-5FPS with a lot of freezing for multiple seconds. 1-2 playlists does correlate to about 15 minutes though.
My system is 100% water cooled, temps on the CPU/GPU aren't anywhere near the throttling point.
No issues in any other game (BF2042, MWII, Warzone, Elite: Dangerous, etc).
- @Dutch_Ruddrton We have a pretty similar set-up. Did you find that the game would run better off multiplayer?
