FPS drops to a weird cap of 47-48 FPS
I usually get 140 FPS in the lobby and around 90 FPS in Dire Marsh.
However, sometimes, the FPS will drop to a cap of around 47 to 48 FPS. This sometimes happens seemingly out of nowhere, while in a match, but can also be triggered by either Alt+Tab-ing to a different tab and back to Marathon, or just jumping around the menus if you are in the lobby.
I know of two ways of temporarily fixing this. One is to go into graphics settings and just changing anything (say, changing the rendering resolution from 100 to 99). You don't even need to keep the change, just apply change it back to the previous setting and apply again and it will be enough for the FPS to go back up. Another way is to just Ctrl+Alt+Delete and then get back to the game, although it does not always work, unlike the graphics change trick. These two fixes can be enough for the game to run smooth for 5-10 minutes or only like 20 seconds.
I have ruled out throttling (playing at half the TDP). This does not happen to me in any other game.
Specs: GA402RK laptop with RX6800S and Ryzen 9 6900HS. Can be playing anywhere from 60 to 125 W.
I can provide other information like the list of drivers, dxdiag, config files for the game, etc, if you wish.
