-Dont use G-Sync with Driver V-Sync and unlimited frames ingame, because it will be choppy. Use the ingame Framelimiter and set it 5 frames lower than your max frames.

To remain stable fps around Stations you can lower the visual fluff Traffic and Npcs in the config:
<chardensity>0.30</chardensity>
<trafficdensity>0.10</trafficdensity>

Config should be opened with editor and is located at:
C:\Users\Yourname\Documents\Egosoft\X4\288211

Optional:
Only play one Dlc at a time, combined with the Split Dlc, for up to 60 Percent Frame increase.
