Additional Information

I used DLSS to get the frame rate above 30. It was just below 30 otherwise. I was stuck at 1440p in full screen mode so it may perform better at 1080p.

Note: You must play through the beginning part before you can change graphic settings. I was getting 16 FPS during that part.
