If you don't enjoy even a little bit of tinkering then PC gaming is probably not for you so don't stress and wait for Scorpio/Neo.  No one does 'hours' of tinkering for any one game, just a few settings adjusted in the graphics options screen for a bit for a new game and then you forget about it or perhaps when you have a hardware upgrade and you want to take older games for a spin to see what they look like and how they perform.  Playing older games with more powerful hardware that was not  available at the time is one of the best aspects for me.

Thanks - trying to find metrics running at 3440x1440 on a 970.

If a 970 is half the power of a 1070 (which it supposed to be) then 30fps is doable at 3440x1440. 60 is out of the question though as even a 1070 struggles at that res with everything on full and no AA.

from most of the performace vids on digital foundry, a 1070 does look to offer about 50% more performance...the 1060...10%...ish....maybe... :/ which considering the prices of these new cards...

As I am posting this at 3am one may suspect that the experimental branch has solved my problems. Still getting framerate drops occasionally, but they're the sort you'd expect now and probably could be sorted by dropping a few settings, rather than anything serious the developers need to worry about. Most of the time it is ticking along at a pretty consistent rate too, so I'm not even bothered to try.

 

As long as they don't break it when they bring the experimental version to the proper version, all is well.

Morning all, some Nvidia stuff: I followed most of the online advice that's out there about disabling Gsync on my Nvidia card. I also set my framerate to 90.  all probably old news by now of course, but it works a treat!  I have also ive also tweaked things a bit in the Nvidia control center and its all pretty damn nice. I'm torn between 4x antialiasing and 8x as I cant see much difference in No Mans Sky.

On a whim I clicked 'buy' last night, but quite honestly I've requested a refund this morning as it just doesn't do anything for me at the moment :(

 

Can definitely appreciate the work that has gone into it, and I suspect after it's been patched and worked on for a few more months I'll pick it up again and give it another go, but at the moment, I find the menu system mind-numbingly appalling and surprisingly for me it's something I just don't want to be arsed with!

 

Hey ho!

My framerate tanks frequently when exploring; so disregard the numbers I posted before. Have dropped down to 1080p now, and while I get a steady 60 fps for some of the time, every now and again while moving around it drops into the 30s which is quite jarring.

I've noticed distant starships flying over hits mine. Not that much though.

Works great on my 980.  Had some stuttering for the first thirty seconds I played on it, no bad performance since.

 

Had one game breaking bug - started spinning around ignoring controller input, had to restart.  Fortunately I'd just that minute saved - could have been a bugger if I'd gone on a huge resource gathering trip when that happened!

 

That was 27 hours ago though, no problems since.

I have a six-year-old i7 processor and a GTX 660Ti (I think). Plenty of RAM. 1080p monitor and I can live without AA. Will this run okay?

 

I've got an i7 860, a 750 Ti, 1080p monitor and 8GB RAM. So probably a very similar / the same processor, worse graphics card, same native resolution and minimum RAM. Have installed but haven't fired it up yet, so I'll post my findings when I get round to playing it. If I'm okay you should be fine.

In Skyrim that's quite literally all I have done :lol:  Something of an outlier and by quite some distance that one, though!

 

I'm guessing that's for modding purposes and not to get the vanilla game up and running properly.

 

indeed I probably spent a couple of days modding Skyrim.

Now I've had a chance to fire it up the game runs okay, hovering at around 30fps with some dips and rises and the reported hitching every now and then - so it's sluggish but perfectly playable. And It looks stunning, even on medium settings, so if like me you're scraping the minimum requirements and the frame rate isn't a deal-breaker I'd say just go for it.

Try the experimental build, from that it sounds like you weren't suffering the worst of it but it might help a bit.

My sudden 20-30 fps loss is due to the water world I was on.  Did my initial tweaking on my starter planet and settled on my settings there, and it didn't twig I was on the second planet when the framerate tanked and was initially confused why performance took a nosedive.  It seems the water worlds really hit performance.

I've installed the internal renderer mod which improves the sharpness no end (its rendering at Ps4 resolution).

http://nomansskymods.com/mods/internal-resolution-multipliers-pak/

So now set to 1.50x with no change to the default NV graphics.

 

Just copy the one you want to render at into the shaders folder.

 

 

I can't get the scanline/vignette mod to work though. I removed the shaders folder but it redrawns em.

Oh nice!  Will try that next chance I have.  I'm not hopeful though, it can't be that different to DSR on the nVidia options, and putting that up hit the framerate quite badly for me! :(

The game runs fine for me (with a 1070) but I'm getting crashes to desktop every half an hour or so. Kinda takes you out of it. Was running the experimental branch yesterday, but it happened a couple of times before I switched over (it was why i switched over). Anyone else having similar issues?

Hmmm, so I took my laptop on the train this morning, and it suddenly wasn't running as well as it was last night. Felt a bit treacly.

 

Don't think I changed anything but I suppose I might have done and the restart this morning has triggered it. No idea what it might have been though.

 

Is there a definitive list of the steps you should take to get it running optimally, or will it depend on your GFX card etc?
