Same here. I have:

Nvidia RTX 2070 SUPER
Intel i5-9600K CPU @ 3.7 Ghz
Windows 10 Home


All up to date drivers. Things were totally fine up until today's patch. Game is completely unplayable now. The title screen was physically painful to sit through. No settings adjustments seem to have helped things at all.
