Me and a lot of friends have figured out that UBI CONNECT OVERLAY (PC) is making random huge fps drops (to 70fps) no matter You play Vulcan or DirectX. A lot of people has to disable overlay to play normal, in THIS game. My specs is not important, a lot of people has same issue.

When we have disabled overlay we cant buy in shop so, I guess we will stop buying.

Hello everyone thanks for getting in touch about the overlay and the game's performance.

To see if you can improve your performance with the game, could you please make sure to run through every step in this support article for Siege first, to see if you can make noticeable improvements - https://support.ubisoft.com/en-GB/Article/000062514/
 
If you happen to be using a series 10 Nvidia GPU or later, enabling Nvidia Reflex in the Vulkan mode of the game may benefit your latency in-game also.
 
We are aware that the Ubisoft Connect overlay being enabled may increase CPU usage and impact the performance of the game, this is something that we have been openly investigating since the new year.
