Possible issue with Software Occlusion Culling

I ran with this enabled for a couple of days, and for the most part it improved FPS in situations where I normally experience drops. However, I experienced a strange bug a few times at Volcanic Vents on Galen.

Typically my FPS plummets during those events when there are a lot of other players presernt. But with this feature enabled, I had a different problem: invisible bosses. There were two situations where, when the final boss 'appeared,' it was invisible throughout the entire encounter. I could see the health bar, and I could see that the attacks I was setting off were doing damage, but I never actually saw the target. I just set off attacks in the same direction as everyone else. It also happened once with a Magma Golem at one of the side vents. I've never seen this before, so I wonder if the system wasn't treating the boss as "behind other objects" due to the amount of particle effects going off from all the players who were there.

I have another experience with Software Occlusion Culling.
When I have Software Occlusion Culling ON I can see most of the time micro stuttering.
V-sync is on, display 60hz on ryzen 5 with radeon gpu.
Without enabled Software Occlusion Culling game runs flawless.
But it can be gpu problem, when i had older nvidia gpu i could use multi-threaded rendering without any problem, but now with amd gpu i can't because whole pc freeze after while lol
