no mans sky No Man's Sky - 970m & i7-6700HQ Performance

[nolanduly]

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!

Yep...I recommend refunding it if you can and hoping it is fixed.

Besides the port it looks like a boring game

They can fix anything if your pc doesnt even meet the minimal reqs.

From what you say you have in your build, a GT 740, I don't believe you'll be getting good frame rates no matter how good the port is. Maybe go for an upgrade if you want to run No Man's Sky. AMD just released their Rx460 which is about $100 and I've seen some benchmarks putting it around 30-40 FPS in No Man's Sky

I got the game running at 30 plus frames now on my 740. Just change sone resolution stuff and disabled gsync

Are you having the stuttering issue?
