Editor FPS Starts at 60 then slowly drops to around 10

Development Getting Started & Setup
, , , ,

When I start my project I get 60 FPS in the editor but over a few seconds it drops to 10-12. I am using a laptop with the following specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 - 5800H

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop

RAM: 16 Gigs

Storage: 512 Gigs SSD

OS: Windows 11

Unreal Engine: UE5.2

The project is not a huge one either, it’s the third person preset given by unreal engine.

I have tried reducing the scalability settings but that didn’t help at all.

Thermal throttling maybe. If you’re on a laptop, it’s possible your CPU or GPU can’t run at full power without getting to hot and running slow like a couple of pansies. If that’s happening, put your computer in the fridge or something? I don’t know.
