I heard about this on Subnautica Community forum and I'm yet to hear what the problem actually is about, perhaps one cannot describe an imaginary issue :manthinking: This problem needs to be solved by the devs and is probably related to the unity engine too.
SN's Unity engine iteration works like crap. Even on high-end systems. On my previous rig (8600k, rtx 2070, 16GB DDR4 3400Mhz, SSD) the FPS counter was showing 100+ FPS while the game was visually stuttering. Not sure what UWE did during development, but they had to limit the number of objects in visual range, thats why we got those pop-ins as a nice extra. And if you increase the LOD from config file, the game goes to hell on stronger systems too. With my new system the general stuttering is gone, but i still have microstutters entering or exiting a base/vehicle.
I only had this "Unity myth" issues playing SN, didnt have problems with other games on Unity. Whatever the Coffey guys did since EA release, Valheim runs MUCH smoother than SN ever did. Not sure if SN got the experimental improvements on live as i have not played it in some months but there was a lot of improvements over the stable iteration.
