Don't know what gay has to do with the performance, but i agree it has issue's in the Desert map.

The problem is grass shadows. But not having advanced graphics option to tone down shadows the only way is to remove grass shadows completely. Go to user.cfg in Saved Games folder and put r_foliage_shadows from 1 to 0. It has a impact in visuals but is not noteworthy and you still can enjoy the rest of the features on extreme.
Typical lazy optimization like they did with tessellation.

And where is the save game folder?

You are playing with extreme settings at 3440x1440 and expecting 60fps is your problem. I doubt Last light would hold 60fps with maxed out settings at 3440x1440.

C:\Users\adras\Saved Games\metro exodus
Then go to last folder find file called user open it through notepad or notepade++ w.e u like to use and there you go

Playing extreme preset with a 1080TI is your issue.

how is extreme on 1080 TI his issue? if the game runs smooth early on and on Volga it should do the same on other maps

I am not at the map he is on yet with my playthrough but I can see his point, the same could happen to me, I can currently run extreme on a GTX 1070 at 1080p on Volga with 40 - 80fps but probably not later in game

He’s playing at 1440p, not 1080p.

I know but still though, it runs good for him early on but not later, thats a developer flaw not his system, the performance should be stable the entire game

Some areas are more demanding, and extreme settings with a 1080 ti at not 1440p but 3440x1440 is not going to hold 60fps in lots of games.

Sounds like a memory leak to me, if he can consistently repro the issue.
Or a heat/throttling issue (unless neither is overheating).

Are you seriously asking me why every scence in a video game doesn’t exhibit similar performance?

For starters the desert is absolutely crammed with particle based physics effects and the Volga isn’t.

Then it was a bad decision for the developers to make the physics more heavy then the previous part of the game

if the performance is only bad in "specific locations" of a map a player can deal with that (example being the City in Fallout 4 and rest of the map is smoother), but adding more performance heavy stuff across an entire seperate map is not a smart developer move cause it causes the player to lower the settings halfway through the game

In not the particle is the grass shadows. You can see if you disable it (r_foliage_shadows only disable grass shadows) you will gain ~20 fps. The fact that this happens only on small areas of this map means that the developers could have done a better job on optimization.

Yes i solve it with shut down grass shadow at the desert map. So far 50-60 fps right now. Large Field view will drop also.
