Everytime I aim down the sight of my weapon in Rust, I get an FPS spike. I know it's still in the Alpha phase but this is not caused by the game, but possibly my GPU?

The only fix I get is that if I install the latest graphics drivers it doesn't cause a FPS spike. That's fine, until I turn off my PC and turn it back on at a later time to play the game, the FPS spike is back when I aim! This is annoying because it's time-consuming and it's eating my HDD space.

My graphics card is the Radeon 6670. I can run the game fine, not much lag at all except when I get a FPS spike when aiming. I am currently using the latest beta driver, and I've already tried the latest driver (not the beta one).
