How to check on yours: in hookshot_log.txt the periodic line vk: N presents, X fps; a frame: ... ; P pipelines (M ms), ... - if P and M jump in the same lines where fps drops, it is this. It should be much better on the second visit to the same area, and after an update (new shader stamp) the first session is the slow one. Closing the game normally (not killing it) lets it save the list of pipelines it has seen. You are on 2.0.3: 2.0.5 changed the shader preparation, so it is worth updating before drawing conclusions.

I see something very similar on another AMD card (RX 7800 XT, v2.0.4/v2.0.5): a pause and several fps drops the first time a new area or a new character shows up, and textures that arrive late. In my log it lined up with new graphics pipelines being built during play: of 238 gameplay intervals (120 presents each), the 26 that dipped below 58 fps had on average 2.4 new pipelines (~450 ms of compile) against 0.09 in the normal ones, and with nothing new on screen it held 60.0 fps for minutes. Details in #865.

Tracked in #993, follow there. That issue collects every report of garbled or rainbow textures that get worse over play time, and this one is linked from it with its GPU, version and log details. It is a known issue in v2.0.6 and not fixed yet. If it still happens on v2.0.6 (https://github.com/NotRexed/Hookshot/releases/tag/v2.0.6; Update next to Play in the launcher), please add a comment there with your hookshot_log.txt.
