First of all, official help, you know, from Capcom itself. In a statement to IGN, the publisher said it was aware of the issues and said it was likely related to the way the game handles NPC character rendering.
Basically, each of them requires a lot of CPU attention in order to look as beautiful as they do, and run as dynamically as they do, so if you have a bunch of them appearing together, the combined effect will limit your framerate number. Obviously, how much of an impact this will have depends on the exact specs of the hardware, but the good news is that Capcom says it’s “looking into ways to improve performance in the future.”
So even if fiddling with the currently offered settings doesn’t help, hopefully you won’t have to wait too long for more solutions. That said, following comments about the NPC population potentially being a limiting factor, some potential players have begun discussing their own solution – reducing the NPC population through some tactical murder.

Because it may increase your FPS. Seriously, one person even suggested that people band together to create “a community list of inconsequential NPCs that you can kill to increase FPS.”
A few people even took up the issue, with one nonchalantly outlining: “For [starters], I guess any non-shop owner NPC can definitely go. Maybe you can keep your loved one. Guards can go too.Who will they protect in the future? [we’re] Has the game optimization been completed? Exactly. “
Thankfully, just in case you’re starting to worry or starting to think that this might actually be a good idea, someone else has helpfully pointed out: “Honestly, [it] Waiting for a patch seems more ideal than killing NPCs just for performance reasons. “
