RTX Frame Generation causes major frame drops in menu/text chat

Issue Type (Required):

Visual

Issue Description (Required):

Any use of frame generation results in significant FPS drops when a menu or the text chat window is opened.

Framerates of 137+ stable in-game even during intense moments. However, opening text chat cuts that to 80-90, and opening menus in the mourningstar cuts it to 90-100 or thereabouts.

Mourningstar menus return to max framerate after a second or so of being displayed, but the drop reoccurs once the menu is closed, before once again returning to normal.

For text chat, framerate remains low for the duration the chat window is open. Once it is closed, framerate immediately returns to normal.

In both instances, the major shift in framerate induces nasty screen tearing, even on an active Gsync monitor. Occurs in both full-screen and FS-windowed modes.

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

Activate frame generation in launcher. Load into game, select character and load into the mourningstar. Note framerate. Open menu (any menu: esc menu, loadout menu, store menus etc.) and note immediate, significant framerate drop. Once menu is open, framerates will restabilize at the original value. On closing the menu, FPS will drop again briefly before returning to original value. Note screen tear by moving camera during the drop.

Repeat above steps but instead of opening menu, open text chat window with enter key. Note frame drop, will persist while the chat window is open. Close text chat window and note FPS increase. Note screen tear by moving camera during the drop.
