Can we get a potato mode graphics setting?

[Baema]

Really enjoying the game so far but would anyone else prefer more FPS over aesthetics?

I'm usually getting 30-40fps when fighting and 40 - 60 fps while alone..
Sometimes fps stays below 30 in the castle.
A performance graphics option would be nice like how some other games do it.

For reference I'm using an i5 8600k oc'd to 5.1ghz
FE 2080ti
32gb ram
High, medium, low settings does not change the fps.
CPU usage is 100% no matter what i do

It's by no means a potato. 100% CPU usage is troubling. Playing in 4K?
Edit: I play on a laptop now with an i5 10500h and the game is barely utilizing my CPU at HD (with medium shadows/bloom and so on). It's howering around 30-40% with a spike to 60% during combat.
Edit2: I get stable locked 45-60fps.

I'm playing on 1440p. I noticed that some parts of the game, the fps is just low(below 30fps) while the cpu usage hovers around 30-60% usage. GPU is chilling at 20-30%...
I forced 4k and my gpu usage hovers around 70-80% usage while cpu drops to 50 and I'm getting between 50-60FPS..
My main gripe is that my computer freezes for half a second when I get close to someone and fps drops when pvping.

I am having the same issue with freezes mid-combat or while changing camera angles out in the world on two separate pcs (R9 3900x RTX2080 desktop and i5-10500H RTX3060 laptop both with 32GB of appropriate fast RAM in dual channel running on M2 nvme SSDs), seems to be engine-related and most likely requires bugfixing by the Devs. Disabling AMD FSR 1.0 helps to keep the framerate stable-ish. The game has issues keeping the framerate consistent at 1080p, so I doubt 1440p or 4K will be possible without sacrificing a lot of graphics fidelity. If you play on a small screen (i.e. 17" laptop) you might get away with locking the game to 45 FPS to give the engine time to play catch up, without noticing much of a difference, especially if you're used to the PAL standard.
