Turned out the issue was with "Acronis Active Protection" that comes with Acronis True Image 2019. If I add the game folder to its exclusions list, then I get good FPS around 100-120.
@EightBallFTW I moved your post to the Jedi Fallen Order tech section. It would be useful to the helpers here if you could run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

Having same-ish problem.
My details. Attached dxdiag also
Runs at around 28 fps on average in game. over 100 in menus.
I have an i7 7700, cpu usage is 20% when in game
I have an rtx 2070, gpu usage is at 40% when gaming
16GB memory, using 6.5 when gaming
Lowest setting, <even 1024x 768> all the way to epic/max settings, 1920x1080, runs at 28 fps normal in world, still over 100 in menus. FPS cap is set to 144
All drivers updated, Shadowplay off. Windows updated.
Closed origin launcher, no change.
Bought from steam, closed that launcher, it closed the game.
Weird thing was, when I installed it and played it at midnight when the game could be played. I was running at least 60 fps. Was thinking the game looked and ran great. closed game, went to bed, got up, started it back up. Bad fps now

I could hug you! I recently bought Acronis to clone my new 970 Evo Plus. I was all excited about my new M.2 drive but was getting awful frame rates on Fallen Order. Turning off Active Protection immediately fixed the issue. YES!
You could disable it to look at certain folders and files. My fps has been from 50 to 130 at 1440p with most settings set to epic. The only settings that aren't set to epic is to lowest post processing and anti aliasing. I got 1070ti, 48GB ram and Amd Ryzen 1600 overclocked to 3.7ghz
