I have a RTX 5070ti 16gb vram, and a Ryzen 7800 x3d.

I load into my home world alone with a locked 90 FPS, the moment i open my menu i lose a significant amount of framerate, 35 fps for around about 2 seconds.

Opening the menu recently has been causing my framerate to drop significantly more than I remember. Before it used to still feel somewhat smooth, but now when I open the menu, especially the first time I can see visible low framerate stutter which is extremely jarring in VR. As things load in the framerate comes back up but still noticeably lower than what i have when the menu is closed. In most cases I lose around about 10 FPS with the menu open.

Please consider streaming and deferring menu loading, and pacing it so that its not loading all at once. Or if you already do this, do it less aggressively.
