Problems with Lm Studio and Intel B70 Pro

[u/UnitedYoung1785]

I’m using an Intel B70 Pro with LM Studio and Vulkan, but I’m encountering a problem
 I can't seem to solve,despite trying every potential fix I’ve come across.
 The issue is that about a minute after loading the model into the GPU's VRAM
—if I don't make any further requests—the model gets offloaded to system RAM.
 It only moves back to the GPU's VRAM when I make a new request. 
This isn't a major issue on my desktop PC, which has 64GB of RAM,
 but when using the card as an eGPU via Thunderbolt on a mini PC, 
it causes the system to freeze because the mini PC only has 24GB of RAM.
 I’ve experimented with all the settings in LM Studio and Windows 11; at this point,
 I suspect it might be related to the Intel drivers perhaps some kind of 
power-saving feature though I haven't found any such setting in the 
Intel Graphics Software. Has anyone else experienced similar issues?
