Any idea what settings I can change to lower the frame rate suicide that is damaged settlements?

Have you considered 720p? Welcome to the new era! 
What Sublime said! Lower resolution until you get the frame rate you want, but be warned that the alias will make your eyes hurt.

If you lower SS (Super Sampling) below 1, you're effectively lowering the resolution and should get an FPS increase. I've seen a streamer with no other recourse do that to get playable framerates.
Of course, then he couldn't read the panels further than a few feet away so...

Nope. I would not.
Some settlements are worse than others, but with a 2080 I am lucky to get 60 FPS at 1080 resolution, usually.
In Horizons, a 1080ti can do 4K comfortably, with all graphic settings set to max. EDO killed that big time.
Is this a troll thread? Lower the graphics to minimum and start switching them to higher settings while comparing the framerate...
Horizons is also a six year old game.
This is a six year old game with a broken rendering engine.
@Sethiest No, you won't be able to do 60 fps at 2K at the settlements. Sorry. In space? Yeah maybe, if the rest of your rig is nice. Horizons is not really a benchmark. The graphics engine in Horizons is still functioning correctly, so it's not much of a measure. I've heard expecting about half of your framerate from Horizons to Odyssey as a decent benchmark, until you get to settlements/on foot stations and then you're just at the mercy of whatever-the-heck they were thinking with the effects implementation (fire, glass, etc.)
Any other point in writing that apart from bashing the engine?
Not a troll thread. I'm looking for advice on what settings specifically affect the things I'm having trouble with. As mentioned, I run smoothly at everything but damaged settlements due to the fire and steam, etc.
I had been tinkering with various settings at different combinations, but I don't have a great deal of knowledge on how each variable affects the performance. So trying to find what I can specifically sacrifice has been the goal. So, after about 4 hours of trying to find a good profile, I thought I might ask for help on the forums on the chance the more helpful and constructive members of the community had some insight.
Yes, actually.
Odyssey is broken, but it's not the latest and greatest, newest tech. If it were, it would probably run better. DX11 (which Elite uses) handles graphics rendering in some pretty inefficient ways.
So when you say "It's a six year old game" talking about Horizons, please realize that you're making little to no distinction. Horizon is that tech used correctly. Odyssey is that same era of tech used poorly.
Be nice. We're a community.
Personally I'd just go the trial and error route until I find something that works. I doubt you will have much to compromise with with a 1080ti.
What is your point? EDO has such amazing graphics that justifies a 2/3 performance drop?
There are only so many settings that could affect that, if at all.
If you put the quality on low, then that's the lowest it will go clearly, does low fix the issue? If so, start putting stuff up until it comes back. Boom, there is your setting.
Otherwise it's an optimization issue, which we all know are quite prevalent.

I think there's a line to be drawn with regards to performance expectations while running the game on older hardware, that's all.
