Kerbal Space Program Performance Tweaks

[Combat squirrel]

Hi all, I've got back into KSP after many years out - I've installed a recommended mod list file I found on YouTube via CKAN...........lots of visual updates, most common used mods etc

I'm playing on a 5700X3D, 32gb Ram, AMD 6800XT.

I'd have thought that would be plenty but it runs laggy as hell for several minutes, then runs absolutely fine at 100+ fps for a while then lags at 8fps for a couple more minutes.

Is there any way I can find out what mod is causing this lag? Got the common visuals like scatterer, eve, etc - any one know of any mod thats well known to cause lag?

I've also recently started experimenting with some mods, but having some issues - I'm using the mod list from Matt Lowne's recent video descriptions (mostly) and am finding that when I go near the Mun, everything gets really dark (even on the light side) to the point that I haven't been able to do a landing yet as I can't see the floor - Have you had anything similar? I really need to spend some time trying to nail it down!

I'm afraid the only thing I could suggest would be to either remove mods until it goes away then add the others back, or remove them all and then add one by one until you can identify the cause.
Parts mods like restock and stuff should be safe, as well as utility stuff like kerbal engineer and better timewarp etc. I would assume it has to be something like scatterer, waterfall, EVE or some other shader heavy mod that's giving you problems.

Edit: Have you monitored CPU/GPU usage when you're having the issues? Would be useful to know which if any is getting hammered.
Or can you pin it down to a situation (like is it when you get close enough to a planet for things to render in, or when you enter a sphere of influence etc.? - Wondering if it's when something like scatterer kicking in that's causing a load of procedural generation or something)
