RTX 5060 Utilization Issues

[Ryan_Walker2790]

I currently have an AMD 5800x CPU and a RTX 5060 GPU and trying to edit HEVC/H.265 10-bit 4:2:2 footage from my Canon R6 Mark II. Playback is super smooth for the first 7-8 seconds with premiere pro utilizing about 50-60% of the gpu for playback. However, after the first 7-8 seconds, GPU utilization drops to about 10% or less and the footage becomes incredibly choppy and difficult to navigate. I am not sure why the GPU utilization decides to drop to 10% or less when it was running well before hand. Temperatures seem to be very stable and neither the GPU or CPU or drawing a lot of power.

I am editing on the updated version of Premiere Pro (25.4.1)

Is your operating system up to date?

Check the Audio Hardware Preferences. Default Audio Input should be set to No Input.

Some additional information:

PC Specs:

CPU: AMD 5800x

GPU: RTX 5060

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

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.

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. It appears that the GPU decoder decides to stop working.

-RAM usage about 16GB (Give or take)

Adobe Premiere Pro Version - 25.4.1

Operating System - Windows 10 Enterprise version 24h2 and Windows is currently up to date

GPU Driver:

- Nvidia Studio Driver: 580.97 (release date August 12th 2025)

Video Format: 4k 60p H.265/HEVC 10-bit 4:2:2 Canon Log 3

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
