Summary
After a few weeks of ‘ok’ performance, the FPS has now tanked to around 20fps, no matter what graphics settings I use. Task Manager shows GPU utilisation between 10-15%.

See video below (around 0:55 arrive at island).
See 1:40 when I change graphics to ‘Laptop’ 1080p with little difference in performance.

Right.

I am pleased to report that this excessive FPS issue was not to do with Stranded Deep. It seemed there was some Windows file corruptions which were only resolved by reinstalling Windows.

I still only get about 45fps max at 1440p medium settings, which with 3090 should perform better…
