I have just order myself a RTX 3060 12gb card, so that I may run more Vr games such as: No Man's Sky on an OQ2. I am currently running a Ryzen 5 2600x as my CPU. Is that all good and fine for NMS VR or should I save for an upgrade?

Hello eveyone, I was recently inspired from some videos on youtube to play NMS again but I have noticed that the performance is a lot worse than previously remembered (a lot of stuttering and microfreezes). Tbh I haven't played the game since ages ago (we are talking about years, since the launch) Of course I made sure I was running the most recent version in Steam and my graphic drivers are up to date and all that shazam. Here my specs: Win 10 Home 64bit BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc. 1803, 06/05/2016 (Apparently isn't the newest version) CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6600K CPU @ 3.50GHz, 3501 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s) RAM 2x8 GB DDR4-2132 (1066 MHz) GPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GPU Drivers GeForce Game Ready driver 512.15 // 03.22.2022 Boot Samsung SSD 750 EVO 250GB SSD Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB - Game is loaded here External HDD Toshiba Canvio Advance USB 3.0, 3TB PSU Cant check atm but Its the same supply I had forever and I have ever changed any hardware or overclocked anything Internet Other apps running: Opera GX (with Youtube running a VOD at 720p60) Steam in the background While I understand that the game has gotten a lot updates since it's launch which have made it beefier, my setup "should" still handle it ok My settings in game were setup to ultra from the GeForce experience app. My estimation is that my GPU is the bottleneck. Any ideas besides updating my BIOS(which I'm not keen on because I have never done it before and its my only pc, so I don't want to wreck it and I can't imagine how that will help) and lowering my in-game graphic settings(any suggestions what I should turn down)??? Keep it clean!

Hi, I have been a subscriber to Linus Tech Tips on YouTube for a year or so, but this is the first time I have posted on the forums. I am looking to build my first custom PC and want your feedback! The goal for this PC is to game at 1080p 60hz on as high of settings as possible and also be my work/school computer. I have a limit of $1000 (USD) to spend, including the cost of Windows 10, monitors, and a keyboard. The main game I want to play is No Man's Sky. My current gaming setup (a laptop from 2011 with a GTX 540M) technically runs NMS, but gets like 2 fps. Other games I hope to play are Overwatch, Shadow of Mordor, Skyrim: Special Edition, and Mass Effect Andromeda. The main items I am unsure about are the motherboard and how much cooling I will need, so your help with those decisions will be great. Also, pairing the Pentium G4560 with a GTX 1060 feels odd, but would it cause a CPU bottleneck for gaming? Let me know if anything seems stupid, won't work, or is a waste of money. (I am a noob after all.) Thanks in advance! https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Gazelem/saved/GQW6hM (?)

Intelvidia?) Edit: For those that asked, I am going into Accounting (with the goal of being an accounting professor). I plan on researching in tax. I don't know what my dissertation will be on, students typically decide in their third year or so. Also, one reason I want to have an Intel processor is for virtualization tech. I dabble in app development as a hobby. I also want to get an intel realsense webcam for Windows Hello at some point, which requires a 6th or 7th gen intel processor, I believe. Nvidia, on the other hand, I am just a fanboy of. If the rx480 8GB is a better deal, I will go with that. Edit 2: Thanks for all the feedback everyone! It has given me a fresh look at my build and helped me figure out my priorities better. Here is a link to my new updated build. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Gazelem/saved/7gLHxr I have changed quite a bit: Upgraded to i7-6700 Slight upgrade to GTX 1060 6GB Only one monitor for now Down to 8GB ram for now Cheaper keyboard different motherboard with built in Bluetooth and Wifi Will use Windows 10 Education key from my university (FREE), upgrade to Pro later if I need it Lower wattage PSU

Hello, I am needing some help with No Man's Sky. Ever since I got it last night, I have had some bluring whenever I look above the horizon. It does not distort below the horizon (looking around in caves, retreaving elements from the planet, killing those cute animals) but as soon as I look above a mountain or ridge, the sky gets laggy. Like having a long mouse tail in windows. I have either lowered or turned off most setting, except for (f/p)ov settings. I am using and AMD A10-7850K w/ an RX 470 4GB and 16 GB of ram.

Hi, I have a business computer that I want to run 'no mans sky' on. I don't know what to get, I run MS-Flight Sim 'X' Gold fine with my current setup but am not sure about how No Mans Sky will run. i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40 showing 8 cores I have:Intel HD Graphics 4600 NViDIA quadro K2000 32 GB RAM 512 GB SSD 2 TB 7200 Hard Drive Please help. I don't think my current video cards will do it. I run 3 screens off my current DELL Precision with above specs. I am not looking for the best, just something that will let me run the game... 'No Mans Sky' well enough to enjoy it, Thank you very much. David

Hello there, I am currently encountering a very strange issue within No Mans Sky, I've tried several things to resolve it with no luck, thought I should ask here so it would help others too if it is resolved. So today, I have started playing No Mans Sky, I've had no crashing or anything, just extremely poor performance throughout, roughly between 15 and 30fps. I've turned off V-Sync, FPS caps, absolutely everything. I've played it in Fullscreen and in windowed mode at a much smaller resolution yet my FPS stays relatively the same no matter what I do. When I decided to play in a much smaller resolution however I noticed that my GPU is at roughly 50% usage and my CPU is at between 5 and 25% usage often meaning that only one or two cores are being pushed to 100%. I know that when I play in fullscreen however my GPU is at 100% utilisation. I have also tried changing the textures from high to low (and all other settings with no luck) plus editing values within the config files in its steam folder with no luck, this includes changing the Low and high core count figures etc. Can anyone suggest what is wrong and find an answer? My Specs are on my profile but I'll mention my main specs here anyway: Xeon X5675 @4.5GHz 8GB RAM HD 7970 3GB Cheers, BP.

My cousin wants to get a cheap second hand card that will be able to run No Man's Sky on minimum. He currently has a Radeon HD 4670 which is limited to OpenGL 3.3 and can't run it at all. He is trying to decide between the following offers: Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GT 730, 2GB, DDR3, 128bit Gainward GeForce GT 640 2GB Sapphire Radeon HD 6670 1GB Which one do you recommend he gets and how would you rank these cards from best to worst? The Radeon is slightly more expensive than the rest. Also i want to mention he has a weak ass PSU with no PCI-E power cables, so we are only looking at cards that don't require additional power.

Hi Guys, Review of No Mans Sky coming out are very inconclusive. Honestly they are talking in circles. It is like reviewers really want to love the game. The concept seems very novel. If you have bought this game, is it worth it? How does it fare compared to like Star Citizen or Something?

Can we talk about everyone's experiences with No Man's Sky for a minute? (For the record I have no idea where I would put this on this forum because it sort of covers a load of different topics) So if you've been keeping up with the news relating to the game, you'll know that it's not doing too well on Steam (currently at 45% positive) nor on people's computers performance-wise. There's been crashes, low frame rates and general naffness across the board. The odd thing I've found though is that the game's run like a charm on my PC. I know I sound like I'm just showing off, but the odd thing is my rig is very much not a high-end set up. I'm running on a GTX 970 over clocked to about 1.4GHz and an old AMD A8 5500 which is no doubt bottlenecking my card. As for RAM I've currently got 8GB. For my drivers I'll have to edit this post and put them in tomorrow (or maybe in about 14 hours? It's 23:31 here right now so tomorrow maybe late tonight to some peeps reading this) but I'm sure I haven't updated them in a couple of weeks. So what's everyone else like? I'm curious to see whether it's got something to do with maybe my CPU or my drivers or whatknows.

So I bought No Man's Sky on Steam after watching some people stream the game on PS4. I was hoping for a good port, but unfortunately the game suffers from severe frame rate drops and also a few bugs here and there. I am playing the game on my MSI GE62 Apache Pro-239 which is rocking a 970m and i7-6700HQ and 16 GB of ram. (I upgraded from 12 to 16 GB of ram) In the video I show the settings I'm running at. I cranked them down after getting nauseous the first time I opened the game. Everything is pretty much on low. I'm getting an average of 50-60 FPS with dips as low as 9 FPS. The game is playable, but the drops in performance and stuttering can get annoying. Check out the video here. Overall, I've played about an hour of the game. My initial thoughts are: damn they need to patch this, but for real its fun and you get that same feeling you got when you first started MineCraft. I will be posting some more videos on No Man's Sky with some initial thoughts and updates when they decide to hopefully fix the game to make it more stable. That's all for tonight. Let me know if you guys want to know more about No Man's Sky performance on my laptop and be sure to like and subscribe if you like the video and want to see more!

This game has been exciting me for quite a while, however it failed on PC, I know it will be fixed soon, though, when it is, will you buy it? Do you like the game from what you see or is it boring to you? I am curious to know the opinions about this game. EDIT: Guys I have just found out a possible fix for the lag and crashing. Try to turn off Vsync and cap FPS to max

So recently I've been playing Doom and No Man's Sky. Maxed out, both games run completely fine at 60 fps (with slight drops into the low 50's in NMS.) But after a random length of time, my frame rate will suddenly drop to 9-10fps and remain their until I quit. Both games (unless I'm mistaken) are Open GL, maybe that's related somehow? Every other game I play never has this issue, so it's the only correlation I can make. GPU usage I think also drops when my frames tank, so I believe it to be software/driver related. Any ideas?

Can I run No Man's Sky at an enjoyable quality? A107850k R7250 16GB2400MhZ Ram If no, would a card in the 200 dollar U.S. range suffice? Thanks!

Well, one day after the launch date, after a reinstall of windows and after causing many bluescreens. No man's sky is finally playable on my PC. Now, how was it, because that's what everyone wants to hear. My personal opinion; not as bad as many reviews say, I mean like I did pre-order so I got a head start but still, I played through the whole fix your ship and retrieve the hyperdrive thing before I switched out to the pre-order ship, which BTW looked absolutely badass, now if only it had weapons to match, rather than the stock laser. So far I have only clocked up less than 100 mins on this game but so far its gotten me attached to it and in the following weeks, my steam friends will see my gameplay time creep up. (I still attend school, so I have my priorities sorted). When you start off like me many players do get lost a bit but once you get the hang of things the game is rather fun and exciting to play and there is a decent opportunity that you will get heaps of hours of gameplay. trust me, this game is awesome, but, is it worth the $60 you pay for it? The fact of the matter is erm.... it depends, it was for me as I got a free ship but if you want it cheaper, there is a chance it might. Note MIGHT. go on sale for the steam winter sale. The game can be improved with set objectives and instructions on how to achieve it instead of throwing you into the game with the objective repair launch thrusters. Even without guidance I still managed to figure out how to achieve the objective rather easily but as the game progressed I did get a bit lost, as in warp cells and antimatter. that was the point from where I had stopped playing to write this review. As mentioned earlier, all personal opinion and everyone's opinion will differ from one another, that's all for now but I'm looking forward to continuing my journey in No man's sky. (after I finish my homework)

Since NMS is a big Topic on LTT. Here a Video that sum up the Facts, only using original video content. Have Fun.

So a lot of you have probably been hyped about No Man's Sky. So are Twitch streamers, and prepare to see the best Twitch Capture EEVVAAARRRR of NMS gameplay! https://clips.twitch.tv/lokenplays/AttractivePeafowlFPSMarksman

just want to see everyone's opinions on this game
