My PC specs are well above the game’s minimum requirements: Dual-core I7 processors, Nvidia Geforce GTX 950 graphics card with 2GB dedicated video ram and 8 GB of ram, but I still had to play the game in minimum graphic settings to have complete fluidity and still have very noticable frame drops in one or two areas of the game along with major battles (like a certain bandit camp raid). Is anyone else in this situation? I feel like the game is very unoptimized.
Indeed.
Feel free to provide details on your PC specs, we may be able to help you more than only knowing you’re “well above” minimum specs… 
In my personal case, I have to “unlock” fps (nearly double them in fact) by re-validating “medium” (or lower) setting for Lighting, each time I start the game ; my fps in main screen (and ingame obviously) instantly doubled from 22 to around 40.
To ease the strain on your CPU, you could lower the “physics” settings to medium as well ; you’ll still get animated foliage, but with noticeable stuttering reducing.
Also note that using “reshade” effects will add a noticeable load on your system, like around 10% (assuming you don’t use more than 5-6 effects, nothing too fancy).

I have ~60fps most of time, drop is only when traveling far with unloaded textures (~40pfs).
