I posted this in another thread, but I'll re-post it here:
I'll post more FPS numbers from different settlements as I encounter them.

Update 5 Performance Thread
- Thread starter BlackMaze
- Start date
My PC is rather old, from 2015, although above the minimum requirements for EDO.
Graphics performance with Update 5 is far worse than with Update 4, esp. in settlement buildings.
Specs:
Intel Core i7-5820K, @6x 4.20GHz 15MB L3-Cache
16GB Crucial DDR4-2133
GeForce GTX 980, 4GB PCIe OC
256GB Samsung SSD 850 Pro, SATA 6Gb/s

I think some occlusion culling isn't working after update 5 at some places. You can check at ARAI'S MINE on IAH BULU, one of the best places to farm in Odyssey, it's a big extraction settlement, go there and just wander around, inside buildings eventually the frame drop will happen(while inside building try to look to the drills direction).
At least your GPU will be cool!
Just wanted to link this thread here which I only just spotted.

Contains some shader tweaks (e.g. turning off glass) which allegedly give significant performance boosts.
n.b. we obviously should definitely NOT have to do this kind of thing to get acceptable frame rates but if people are desperate while they wait for Frontier to fix things then I guess all suggestions are welcome?
Some performance tweaks/fixes
[18/03/2021] : Version 0.9 : GitHub Link Changes : - Fixed options to disable reflections shaders in update 11 - The "outdoor reflections" shader now seems to control reflections in indoor shop windows (SHIFT+F4 key in the mod) - The "Indoor reflections"...

Yes, I noticed this whilst shinning across a roof towards the corner of a building. Terrible stuttering until I return the way I came - which is also punctuated with a massive and I mean massive fps drop. Come out the other side of this "timewarp" and it's back to normal 45-60 again.
after changing any graph setting must complete restart game. Any change will cut fps a little, u can see it on low cards like 1030 or 1050. On big cards it looks like "error" but still there.
Also using F10 to take screenshots drops FPS. It is enough about 11 presses to drop from 90 fps to single digit fps
That's why people see no difference lowering settings
- to see any difference you must apply settings AND close the game. Next launch you will see.
QFT. I've noticed the same thing, and it makes testing the settings a bit tiresome.That's why people see no difference lowering settings
Mmm... yes. I can see why its so demanding on Ultra settings
Here's the odd thing, my aformentioned Trigger's Broom of a PC has some really ancient components (the motherboard is an ABit IP35 Pro XE with an Intel Q6600 CPU and 8Gb RAM... from 2008. Yep you read that right) and yet I seem to be getting equal or better performance than some people here with modern high end systems. I don't have everything on Ultra and turned the shadow, ambient occlusion and material quality settings down to medium. RAM and CPU are not maxing out either. Gfx card is rather newer Nvidia GTX 1060 which is a couple of years old and was mid-range at the time.
This doesn't make sense! If the issues were purely about sheer processing power I should be playing a slideshow. As it is: yes there are issues and performance dips, but it's mostly okay now except on concourses.

Ok so here are the vids I promised.
First one is the approach to the POI:
Timestamps:
0:00 super cruise (60fps)
0:15 start of glide (51 - 60fps)
0:45 end of glide (55 - 60FPS)
1:13 near to location (FPS starts to drop)
1:19 Landing gear (fps fluctuates)
1:43 disembark (as low as 10 fps)
2:03 super choppy. (low teens to 20's)
2:37 Butter smooth!!? (60fps)
Leaving the POI: (from smooth 60 to Crash to desktop)
0:00 nice and smooth 60fps
0:12 invisible rock?
0:20 board ship (frame rate drops to mid teens during load)
0:30 take off Frame rate is half ~ 30fps
0:34 - 0:50 noticable spikes between 40 and 50
0:50 frame rate stabilises
1:00 noticable spikes between 23fps and 50fps
1:44 Crash to desktop (pixelated on purpose)
Third: following the CTD, the assets have de-spawned and everything is back to smooth 60 FPS
Something is not right!...
My specs aren't great, but I don't think my expectations of 1080/60 are too high either. This rig manages that in most other titles, including horizons...
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Current resolution: 1920 x 1080, 60Hz
Operating system: Win 10
Wait.. did a 3080 drop below 60 on 1440p? Wow.. just.. wow.
Yes, unfortunately - bar was crowded and had NPCs moving around and chatting did get this one looking out the window, Have found that in the space stations I average 70 - 100 but the bar drops quite a bit.

It got much worse for me, before update 5 performances was always fine. Not great, but playable. Now its all over the place and I can't make sense of it - Going to a crash site to pick up an item and the framerate is completley gone, single digit fps sliedshow. I go to a conflict Zones with all the fighting going on and the fps are fine.
I don't know whats going on there but its weird.

Holy hell. 74 degrees Celsius. Is 100% GPU utilization normal for gaming? This is the first game I've had to do all this testing to have an enjoyable experience so now I don't know if I'm just being picky. I have a 1080 but a 3080 maxing out? Jeez.
DLSS would require DX12 and ED is built on DX11. You're right, it's high time things were upgraded. DLSS would be a brilliant solution to poor performance!
