Poe2 Performance issues

Since the beginning of this league, I have been having issues with in-game performance that has made my game very difficult to play. When using the in-game performance overlay it has been showing the shader bar being consistently maxed out and I've had VERY high cpu utilization (at most times in the 90s) with large spikes that tank my FPS for a second. This issue is not just in areas with high object density, but in any map (town included).
I doubt my specs are the problem, they are fairly high end but I will include anyways.
CPU: Ryzen 7 5800XT, latest BIOS
GPU: RX 7800XT, latest drivers (yes I'm aware of the issues but this does not seem to be one of the normal effects)
RAM: 16gb DDR4 3200
Mem: NVME SSD
Renderer: DX12 (Switching to Vulkan does not help)
Let me know if you need any more information.

Thank you,
A player that loves your game
