Poor results | No Mans Sky
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® Core™ 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!
From my perspective, everything ultra isn't a wise choice for a 1060—it's already passed its prime point.
You're right, I'm already thinking about upgrading, but I figured I'd make the most of what's available until then.
Would you consider the stutters caused by the 6GB VRAM? If I had a GPU with the same architecture but twice the VRAM, could I avoid this problem? This helps clarify the issue and guide my next steps.
