Try using the adaptive camera in settings and set a minimum FPS and a min draw distance of about 10. You will get some bad pop up but should get a reasonable frame rate.

I cannot imagine that the bug is resulted by the PC Performance(especially because it is only the \"character creation menu\"). I have not such a problem with several computer-systems being much slower.

with my laptop s intel graphics card i could enable st3c compression and my fps increased from 3 4 in the plaza to 17 21! the only problem is that some textures become very very dark:|
