Something is terribly wrong with Shaders since 3.27

Once again I installed latest NVidia driver and cleared PoE cache. It's a little bit better now (DX12), but when I open the inventory/Genesis Tree/Stash/Faustus/etc makes textures blurry, puts a lot of load on the CPU and drops FPS.

DX11 is still unplayable, so it's not an option.

Bump! We need it to be fixed ASAP!
bump
Same happened to me, tried everything, nothing works (game was constant 60fps before 3.27 even in crazy maps)
Same here, inventory, skill tree, minimizing the game increases the driver and CPU usage and only goes back down if I restart the game. I also think it doesn't make sense for the game to run a map at a smooth 60fps, then you open the inventory at 10fps and it doesn't go back down.
And if it's because the computer is old, why don't DX11 or Vulkan cause these problems? How come in 2 identical maps, one stays at 60fps all the time and the other drops to 10 out of nowhere?
same problem
Yeah GGG changed game for newer PCs thats for sure...., question is if they will find sources and time and willingness to optimize and repair new things with shadders for older pc platforms. As for now we just have to slow/old processors, disks, rams...

This game should not cause these significant of issues with an i7-11700k, 64gb of DDR4, and a RTX 3080, while running the game with the most minimal of performance settings, reduced bloom, only browser/Discord running, etc.

Every league the past 5-6 leagues has just been regression in performance with no relief in sight.
same prob here. Normaly at 70FPS Dx12. some cringe mechanic cause the frames to drop to 10. at this moment i have a blurry texture view. gamerestart doesnt help. only new map. cant play the game till its fixed.
