PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO TO UNDERSTAND THE EXACT PROBLEM

SUMMARY OF PROBLEM:
Depending on what overlay I have open, or do not have open, my fps plummets. When I have no overlays open my game runs at 25fps or lower. When I have the county overlay open my games runs perfectly smooth. If I am in an event overlay or a character overlay, my fps plummets.

CURRENT HARDWARE:
CPU:
7700X
GPU: 7900XT
RAM: 32GB 6400mhz

TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS TAKEN:

I have tried to run it with and without V-Sync.
At no point does my computer overheat, I have monitored the temperature with three different programs.

ADDITIONAL INFO:
I am only using one mod, the debug menu.
I am not in the late game. I started in the 1100 start date and still only on my first character and she isn't even 40 yet, being 16 when I started. There has been little to no territorial upheaval across the map.
I have my FPS capped to 60fps because I don't want my hardware having to work unnecessarily hard to produce fps past 60 in a game where extremely high fps isn't useful.

 
While I doubt it is causing this issue for you, please confirm this also happens in a campaign started with debug disabled.

If so has it always been the cause in this game for you? Or was okay up to some point?


DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.
IF dxdiag.txt fails to attach here, rename it to dxdiag.log , or zip it up.

Please attach here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log , exceptions.txt
