Just wait for the developers to make it more performant. They've said multiple times it is really slow right now and they are trying to improve it on lower-end hardware. There is a reason it is early access. Also the amount of effort that would be required right now to make it is not worth it compared to just waiting a bit.

There are serious issues with planet surface shaders, they right now make up the bulk of draw call time. This cannot be addressed by mods, since we don't have the shader sources.  However, there is a solid chance that the developers can fix it in a reasonable amount of time, this does not look unsolvable.

have no clue on how to install that,tried with both Space Warp and Bsphinx or whatever it's called and no luck.........If you would type a small tutorial,that would be awesome

I've heard that launching KSP2 directly from the .exe and not via Steam can significantly improve FPS, try that?

Or, the proper name would be "Graphics remover" since all it does is disable certain things, like water

Sadly (the reason I don't have KSP 2 is) there is currently a mismatch between what kind of GPU they expect you to have and what kind normal people actually have. The steam hardware survey suggests that less than half of GPUs meet the minimum requirements and something like 3% on Steam meet the recommended requirements and that a good number of people on Steam still have something that has less than or about 50% the graphics performance of minimum requirements.

So yeah, I have a laptop with bidirectional voltage throttling on the CPU and a 1050 Ti. The recommended GPU is RTX 3080. The minimum GPU is RTX 2060. These have performances at graphical tasks on the order of 3-7 times mine if it could run full throttle without dropping CPU performance into the MHz range, which it can't.

They either need to greatly improve the graphical and other performance or allow extremely severe cutbacks of settings to boost the performance because currently, from the looks of things, I probably have 10% the sustainable GPU power it recommends and 25% the minimum requirements.

While I have to say the recommended settings are at least more honest than KSP 1's recommended settings if the goal is even remotely smooth frame rates, they are sufficiently high that unless they are reduced, it will be years before most people come anywhere close to having that level of hardware performance.

I second this. The developers have already made some significant improvements in performance (vs. 0.1.0) that have made the game much more enjoyable to play and stable, even with more 'conservative' hardware. I remember one of the main performance issues that the Devs highlighted was the terrain system, so some potential big improvements to be had there.
