Short description of error
This isn't really a bug. It is more of a performance problem. Back when the metallic shader was still around in EEVEE the program ran much faster on lower end hardware as well as higher-end hardware. It was a very optimised shader that looked realistic. I used to be able to have semi-complex scenes with the metallic shader but with the principled BSDF shader, I can only have a couple objects at a time.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Have a low to midrange pc
Run a scene with a couple principled BSDF shaders
Watch your computer die

Thank you for the report. Currently we are aware of many issues in 2.8 and actively working to fix them. But since replying to reports takes time, we have decided to limit bug reports to module team members.
