No Man's Sky poor performance even though my PC should be able to run it at high settings

Hello!

My specs are:

Intel Core i5 4690

AMD R9 390 MSI 8GB

16GB RAM

I can't get a stable 60 FPS, in fact, I barely get to 60 at all. I drop constantly to mid 30s especially when there is storm. The only time where I'm able to get 60 is at space stations or in space.

According to GameDebate I should be able to run the game at high settings at 60 FPS. I don't know what to do about it.

My GPU drivers are up to date.

Don't trust game debate or any sites like that they are just general guidelines. And no man's sky isn't really optimised that well I run it on my laptop 8650h with gtx 1070 and struggle to get stable 60 fps. So yeah don't worry about it. But sure you can check gpu/cpu usage trough msi afterburner if neither of them is used up to 90-100% then you might have something wrong.
