What do the numbers from the console PerfOverlay.DrawFPS command mean?

As background: In BF1 with Ultra settings at 4K I get 90-100 FPS. In BF2042 with medium settings and DLSS on Performance I get 30-60 FPS.

Generally, though, the GPU FPS shown by the PerfOverlay.DrawFPS console are around 90-100 and it seems the CPU FPS shows the actually FPS I get (wildly swinging between red 30, yellow 40 up to green, but still slow, 60 and giving me a very choppy/stuttering game).

My i9-9800 CPU is at 40% activity. My 2080Ti is at 50%.

Am I right in thinking this is to do with the CPU usage of BF2042 badly effecting the frames it can render?

Is it to do with having 128 players (I'm playing mostly conquest).

Will this get better with optimisation passes?

    In case anyone is interested, I got the new nvidia drivers today. No appreciable difference.

    I still think the problem is to do with bad CPU utilisation and my CPU FPS score is still fluctuating wildly between about 30 and 70.

    It has even dropped a few times very low and once froze for a couple of seconds.

    Maybe I'll try the 64 (or less) players modes to see if it's to do with 128 players...
