Extremely low FPS running XCOM 2

As you can tell, when I'm in the Avenger main screen as well as watching cutscenes, my fps drops significantly to around 10-30 fps, as well as my gpu reaching temperatures around 73 degrees C.

Basically, almost every part of the game has a significant visual lag even though I have a mid-tier gaming rig. This was tested on running low -> high settings, and the issues are still prevalent on low and high.

The issues:

Low framerate in Avenger HQ
Extremely low framerate when in Dropship
Low framerate in combat after concealment is lifted
In-game cinematics also have low framerate.

Anyone else getting this, and have a fix for this? Is this just a part of poor optimisation?
