fps drops and overall poor performance

I noticed a strange drop in fps in this league. I use a build through a splitting steel, when I enter the map and clear half of the map, my fps drops to 40-50, if I stop and wait a few minutes, 3-4 minutes the fps gradually returns to 58-60. I have no idea why this is happening. At the moment the FPS drops, a gradual load on the processor is noticeable; if when entering the map, the delay is 8-10 ms; as you progress through the map, the delay increases to 25 ms. I also tried to play on a different build for the standard league, the result was much better even with a very strong pack size of monsters and delirium, 80% FPS and CPU latency did not decrease. Perhaps this happens on abilities with a large number of projectiles and hits. I forgot to note that at the moment the FPS drops and before it comes back, the shaders are not loaded; if there was a loading of shaders, this could be attributed to this, but here is something else

I am almost sure the problem is with some explosions. They use particle physics for the show. This requires computations outside the traditional render pipeline. Now GPUs are used for everything, including these computations, but they can suck all the computational power if they are not careful.
Because the GPU doesn't accept more instructions, they stack in the CPU waiting and sucking CPU power as well. This is why dynamic resolution do nothing to help restore the framerate, because the issue is not in the shader computations. A quick fix could be to use less and bigger particles for the explosions.
They should check if there are some explosions that use one million particles. Very nice explosion, but if you have an event like blight with hundred of explosions... Yep, this things sometimes slip without notice.

Yea also bumping the particle count on spells and effect causing bad performance along with light reflection from spell like fire or lightning that can just bounce in the environment and cause unnecessary lag for just looking pretty, that's why other games have options to disable these kind of stuff is really just for screenshot and showcasing but 100% of people will disable it for performance game that's the reality, the game engine need some serious optimization if that the case in PoE 2 they will have the same issues there too.
