FPS Issues on Multiplayer and Singleplayer

Hello.

I've been having massively inconsistent FPS during this update. I've tried a few suggestions such as turning off Dynamic Mesh, lowering shadows/reflections, but it doesn't seem to help. Doing tier 5s is not enjoyable because my FPS drops to around 20 or so (multiplayer and single player). Standing at base with nothing happening, I tend to have around 40 FPS with 50%/60% CPU/Memory usage (GPU around 40%, but I know that's usually not the cause of issues with 7DTD). During horde night, I'm lucky if I get 10 FPS. Usually closer to 5-7. 

7DTD is installed on an NVMe SSD. Here is a link to my full PC build (https://pcpartpicker.com/user/GeminiRift/saved/#view=7LgRJx), but I'll also provide quick details below.

1. Disable every option with the word reflection in it. This has not been optimized and will tank your performance.

2. Did you fully exclude the client from all security software? This is covered in detail in the Pinned FAQ thread.

2. It's like you have every costly premium GPU feature enabled. Though you have capable hardware, it doesn't support that many features in an un-optimized game that's still in Alpha development.
I would recommend the following settings.

Thanks for the tips, I will check this out and see how it goes. I've added the Steam folder as an exception as well. I'm also going to attempt a full clean re-install, as I've played with mods in the past that may be affected some things.

This seems to have done a good bit. The only changes were DoF and Motion Blur, but now I can get consistent ~55 FPS idling at base. I spawned 25 zombies at our horde base as well with the traps turned on, and the lowest I saw was 25FPS (pretty massive improvement there), but more likely around 30-35.

Thanks!
