Multiple Bugs "Transparent Water Causes Massive FPS Drop" + "117 to Base GPU Breaks New Renderer" (Game Crash)

[SoggyBurritoVR]

Describe the bug
Water transparency or scrolling normals cause massive FPS drops. Barely any GPU usage <10% total. (Massively effects Sailing)

When switching from 117 HD to GPU (Base) all boats do not render.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
FPS Drop:

1. Just have 117 on and look at any ocean during sailing FPS drops from 60 to 30.

117 HD to GPU Render Conflict:

1. Have 117 Enabled and Enable GPU (Base).
   a. Does not happen when turning off 117 and then GPU on manually.
2. Switching from GPU to 117 causes a general UI/Texture render issue.

The fps drop only happens for me whenever it's rendering stuff floating in water that require a boat upgrade, e.g. ice, kelp, and crystal. Major headache whenever I'm on land and those waters are rendered in, such as when I'm on the western side of Priff or running to Zulrah
