So there are quite a few posts complaining about performance in space stations and a couple of other parts of the game (high CZs, space stations, etc.).
I'll begin by saying that I am not a "casual" gamer that is willing to ignore poor performance. On the other hand, I'm not an elitist (pardon the pun) that expects 10,000 FPS in games either. Matter of fact, I rarely benchmark games and just go by what I see on the screen. I've been gaming longer than some of you have been alive. No one can convince me that the human eye can actually perceive most of the numbers interpreted in a benchmark, i.e. I highly doubt anyone can see a 10 FPS drop on a game that's doing 125 FPS. I've called out several of my friends on this with side-by-side comparisons and they all had to eat crow. So if you think you have the "golden eye", you might as well stop reading right now.
Moving on. I experience no judder, lag or anything that would detract from my personal experience in ED (except the occasional minor stutter when going to hyperspace). I'm using HIGH VR with 2x SS and several other settings set from medium to high or even ultra (I'm at work right now, I can't remember the exact settings). I'm using a GTX 980 TI. It is overclocked almost 400 mhz, but it's on water, so I was also able to throw a little extra voltage at it. It's a custom bios, so I'm skipping the software overclock. All this may be helping the situation.
However, what I really think might be helping most is that I'm using my older GTX 580 as a dedicated PhysX card. I can see it jump from 2%-5% load to about 20%-30% in high CZ areas. It also does jump up a little in load when approaching a station. So I know it's chipping in with the load the game puts on GPUs.
If you have an older card laying around (that is supported by the current drivers of course), it might be worth a try.
YMMV

Didn't really seem to help much back then, but recently (espcially since Batman AA) it's really helped quite a bit.
