As seen all over the discussion forum here lately, its f'd.
People have all sorts of different fixes they tried but nothing seem to be straighline and work for everyone.

Clear the cache, clear the appdata folder, use Dx11 or a mix.

Please try this and report back here if you had any improvement.

After you do this, start your game, go to Graphic settings and Click on Default.
Then adjust your settings as they were before.
Leave DX12 to be the default renderer, and turn off FSR 2.0.
Then try with FSR 2.0 on, and enable some FSR sharpening (0.2~0.5). At this point you can also try to disable Sharpening in your GPU driver's settings.

Set Shadows to Low in the beginning. This affects the GPU load the most.
Untick all radio sound effects under the Audio settings (reduces stutters on some Ryzen CPUs).

I am still gathering information and when I am finished I will make a complete guide how to adjust Graphic settings.

Also start with AntiAliasing set to 4x, Quality - High.

Anisotropic filtering you can leave at 16, it barely affects performance and you need it to prevent blur when a surface is at high viewing angles.

Not necessarily.

You may get less overall frame drops, but the overall visual quality might suffer depending on the scene.

I recommend that people try their best to get game running on DX12, because this will be the default API of the game from now on.

I was having problems with DX12 after the engine upgrade, after clearing the DX cache, wiping game settings (as described above) can now run the game on DX12.
Still not perfect, still getting stutters, but those will be solved by the devs.

Uninstalling the game entirely worked a treat for me.
