My own experience so far is that planet surfaces minus any settlements nearby have gotten a little better, at small settlements a truly miniscule improvement when on foot (so small that i wonder if it's my imagination) but every other location, largely the same as before. At a settlement i can just about scavenge for things, but couldn't really have a firefight. My buggy is still the worse method of experiencing low frame-rates, and still gives me motion sickness from the 'clash of the titans-esque' stop motion effect. This patch then not much use to me, but i have been hearing other people say they've noticed improvements, how's it been for you?
So, frame-rates since the patch, how are yours?

My usual walk about ship / concourse results in no real improvement. If I turn to look at my ship in the hangar or go to the bar I lose 50% of my fps.
There is no hope in hell this is going on PS4 or XB at this rate.

Well, we haven't (at least i haven't) garnered enough information from others yet, so we maybe in an unlucky minority.
I'm tired of being an unlucky minority though. Horizons was never this uneven between players and setups.
I still get the FPS drops to 2fps from time to time in settlements so that's not fixed. In fact, overall I would say that the FPS are less steady than before and more likely to have drops into the 20-30 range seemingly randomly whereas, before U8, I was pretty steadily >60fps everywhere except for the drops to 2-ish fps occasionally in settlements while CPU and GPU usage would simultaneously plummet to near 0.

yeah, I think there's more random micro-judder just wandering around now, feels like you're pulling up to stop. And the usual 0 FPS on disembark they introduced in patch 7 is still there. Which is a shame as I'm still getting ok FPS otherwise
Just tested the surface base intro mission- actually, much much better! On my GT 1030 at low I'm seeing around 20 fps.
Well that's great news
The problem is that as I chop and change between the game and these training areas my fps drops to single digits in the concourse :/Well that's great news
FPS drop in concourses after a while
With the game update 8, I have noticed odd problem with the FPS drops in the planetary port concourse, happening after a while. I am placing it here instead of the regular bug reports as I am not exactly sure what may be causing it, if the problem was introduced in the update 8 or may have been...
Relogging seems to help, albeit temporarily.

From my posts in the patch notes thread:
Settlements at 73 fps in 1440p, what devilry is this (I used to get 45-50 before U8)
Inside building view, behind the glass of those IND building top floors my performance used to tank a bit sometimes below 40 easy. Now:
Different settlement, same 70 fps
My settings
Performance in concourses also improved around 10-20% for me.

Performance (@1440p ultra, no FSR) in concourses is significantly improved on my 6800XT, as I expected it would be (formerly shader limited here).
I'm also seeing less of of a dip/fewer stutters during initial settlement loading. VRAM use is also a full gig lower than in U7.
However, the game is still almost completely CPU limited below 4k in the vicinity of settlements, and except for the clear uplift in concourses, the experience is more or less what I was getting in Update 6.
About to test my RTX 3080 setup, but I'm not expecting as much of an improvement at 1440p as it was never shader limited. It's possible I'll seen an improvement at 4k as the 3080 was clearing running out of VRAM in some scenes prior.

I'm getting good results, settlement I was at stayed above 50FPS at all times, and often hit 60. I did get a couple micro-stutters disembarking from the ship.
I was getting fairly decent performance before though. It's a little better now. I've only been to 1 settlement, though. Others may still have problems.

Just did a quick test on my 3080. Much more marginal improvement in concourses and a noticeable reduction in settlement loading stutter, but not as much of an improvement as on my 6800XT setup.
What CPU?
