5060 Utilization Issues

Issue: The footage is 4k 60p H.265 10-bit 4:2:2 footage from my Canon R6 Mark II. There are ZERO adjustments made to the footage runs smooth for the first 7-8 seconds and then becomes super chopy after. GPU utilization will sit around 50-70% and then drop to 10% or sometimes to 0%. When I pause the playback and the hit play again, it will continue to run smooth for the next 7-8 seconds before becoming choppy again. Most of my footage is quite short on the 1-3 minutes in total length. I am not sure if it is a faulty GPU, and issue with Premiere Pro, or a setting I need to adjust.

PC Specs:

CPU: AMD 5800x

GPU: RTX 5060

RAM: 32 GB DDR4 (24GB allocated to Premiere Pro)

Steps to Reproduce:

- Import footage from camera into Premiere Pro

- Ensure that hardware encoding/decoding is enabled

-Hit play on the footage

-Use Nvidia App to monitor GPU usage during playback

Expected Results:

- GPU utilization will sit around 50-70% while it is working to decode the footage which would ensure smooth playback so I can review and add basic color correction to the footage.

- Ram Usage about 16GB (give or take)

Actual Result:

- GPU utilization sits around 50-70% for about 7-8 seconds before suddenly dropping to 10% or less, even hitting 0% and the footage becomes extremely choppy (about 1 frame every few seconds). It appears that the GPU decoder decides to stop working.

-RAM usage about 16GB 

Adobe Premiere Pro Version - 25.4.1

Temperatures look stable, CPU usage stable. I do not have issues playing video games, editing photos in Lightroom Classic (including masking and Denoise), and other computer uses
