Maybe some other interesting points:
If I use the 60 FPS command the framerate within the world never go beyond 35 FPS. So if you give the graphic card the possibility to give more power it doesn't do that! The framerate drops are exactly the same here. Same locations to same 15-18 FPS.
If I activate the option that the graphic card uses allways max power there is not a change either.
What I also did is to monitor the CPU usage while playing. I have a i7 3770 with 8x3,4Ghz (4 physical cores and 4 virtual cores). The game never uses more than 30% of my CPU. Most of the time it stays at 25% usage.
I don't know how much CPU the game really needs but I thought that the physics of lots of objects cost plenty of CPU power. That could explain the framerate drops at the harbour hideout becaus there is a damn huge amount of chairs and tables.
On the otherside the framerate must be much better at locations without many objects which have physics. And even if I allow 60FPS, it mostly doesn't get over 35.
I have no freaking idea ☹️
The funny thing that no one can wrote into the forum topic among developers...(headscrape)

I have only 2 problems. For me game mostly runs great on 30 FPS . But as everyone here I have massive FPS drops on some locations, for example near safehouse in Lagoon Trail. And it doesn't seem to affect how much details are there or what's going on screen. Lowering detalis from maximum to low does absolutely nothing. I would say that these areas are bugged. As if I drive few metters backwards, BAM smooth 30 FPS, few metters foward BAM 5-10 FPS. And as I said ammount of detail is same on both points. The second problem is that sometimes (altough rare) car freezes. Time is running and I can rotate camera, but my car (and others too) freezes for few seconds and then the game continues. I also experienced some texture problems, but very rare, and that doesn't bother me. Hope you will fix these problems soon. Other than this technical issues game is great.

That's exactly what I'm experiencing.
