[0.17.4] FPS drops to ~33 in 0.17 even in brand new game, but get 60 consistently in 0.16.51 even on much larger bases

Even spinning up a brand new world in 0.17.4, I see FPS drops to around 33:

When loading larger bases (not Mega or anything but a base that's launched a handful of rockets) on 0.16.51, I see healthy FPS/UPS.
Here's a larger base from 0.16.51 with 60/60 no issues:

Possibly related, I see UPS drop when zooming in. Here's my 0.17.4 base with one mining outpost and up to blue science (at the point where performance was dropping enough for me to post a bug report.
First zoomed in and UPS drops to around 40:

Then zoomed out and UPS recovers to 60 (still with ~33 FPS)

Happy to provide any further debug info you might need. Loving the new features in 0.17, just wish I didn't hit this performance bug :)

That is one obscenely large flip time. My not-much-graphics-knowledgeable dev advice would be to turn off V-sync, it's also turned off in your 0.16 screenshot.
I'm an admin over at https://wiki.factorio.com. Feel free to contact me if there's anything wrong (or right) with it.

Awesome - such an easy fix :D
No idea what vsync is, but when I unchecked 'wait for vsync', recovered immediately to 60/60.

Thanks for your help

Do you have G-sync display by any chance?
