I'm 99% sure there's something causing the CPU to choke under load during scenes like the one in front of the apartment (and other clubs with lots of neon)

This is something I suspected a few pages ago, because GPU load was really low, and also the sources claiming good performance in that area are on Intel CPUs.

Once you get to other areas, the GPU load hits the expected 99% and the game performs fine.

I think most of this was caused by the game putting you in these flashy places right away, so instead of enjoying the atmosphere, we're left wondering why the performance is so bad. Of course if you're used to consoles, you just accept it and assume that's just how it is. For me, it was way below my expectations, and my hype levels were high.

I'll be installing a better cooler on this CPU soon, so I'll be able to overclock a bit. If this part of the game responds highly to overclocking, you know it's a CPU issue.

It's also possible that something is wrong, and a patch will be released to address the CPU getting bogged down

I've been posting here a lot because I've been sharing every step of the way. So maybe that makes it look worse than it is

also I am really picky about frame rate, I can't stand low FPS on a mouse, and I straight up don't like using controllers in 3d games, so... I'm just picky that way, I think most people will be fine.
