Answer
Open Video Options and test the same area after each change. Start by lowering Shadow Quality, Ambient Occlusion, and Screen Space Reflections, compare Fullscreen with your current display mode, and try V-Sync both ways if the image tears or feels uneven. Then update the graphics driver, make sure a gaming laptop uses its faster GPU, and verify the game files.
Compare the processor, memory, graphics card, DirectX version, and storage with the current Steam requirements. If the PC is near the minimum, begin with lower effects and a realistic resolution.
Use the same open area, level, or combat scene and repeat the same camera movement. Note the resolution, display mode, V-Sync state, and approximate FPS before changing anything.

Lower shadows and occlusion
Open Video Options and lower Shadow Quality and Ambient Occlusion one step at a time. Apply each change and repeat the same scene.
4
Reduce screen-space reflections
Lower Screen Space Reflections and test again. This effect changes how nearby surfaces reflect the scene, so reducing it is often less disruptive than lowering the entire screen resolution.
5
Compare Fullscreen and V-Sync
Test Fullscreen against the current windowed mode at the same resolution. Then try V-Sync both ways: leave it off for lower delay, or turn it back on if a horizontal tear moves across the picture.
6
Choose the faster GPU on a laptop
On a PC with two graphics processors, open Settings > System > Display > Graphics, select the game, choose Options, and test High performance. Save the choice and restart the game.
Close unneeded recording, overlay, download, and browser apps, then install the current stable graphics driver and restart Windows. Verify the game files before changing hidden text files or using a copied performance pack.
If V-Sync removes tearing but makes controls feel delayed, turn it off and use a frame limit available in the game or graphics driver instead.
If only one planet, hub, or level is slow, compare another area before lowering every setting. Some scenes are more demanding than the rest of the game.
Do not force High priority or edit PCCONFIG.txt as a first fix. Return to the visible Video Options and verified installation before changing hidden files.
