So angry about that tbh. Another in a line of PC ports that doesnt get what the consoles do.
If NMS was installed on this PC before try uninstalling and re-installing. Helped out a lot for me. I have a weaker CPU, but a better GPU (1070), and I was getting sub 30 FPS. After re-installing it has been smooth on high/ultra.
Umm, wow... that helped a lot! Obviously not going to be perfect on this GPU, but it's like night and day now, and I can even turn up details, etc. Thanks!
That guide makes the stuttering way worse for me. By default I get a 1 or 2 second full on pause every minute or so with that its doubled. This is with a 4690k and a 1080gtx. I can see there's something wrong with the gpu usage its fluctuating up and down like crazy.
The games is unplayable for me, its disappointing because the other changes are great.
Just bought a 1070 too and this is the first have I've had serious fps issues with.
I thought it may of been my old i7-2600 cutting the dips in some areas, but it seems that many others are experiencing the same problem with a much better CPU..
The game looks gorgeous though and I'll need to try some tips in this thread to see if I can slightly improve things. Either way it's good to be back NMS.

Yeah still stutters in space for me, though less on planet surface. Also theres some weird mistakes in the guide like the 8GB - 8192 Kb conversion, so maybe better to wait for a patch.
Might aswell try and reinstall it completely to see if it helps.

Here's a neat mod that removes the vignette and chromatic aberration effects and the lines on the UI.

This really ironed out the experience for me. I've gone from 1440p with what seemed like worsening performance, to native 2160 with borderless, set AA to none and it's really smooth, and much more pleasant in the menus, and looks better.
No microtransactions. All the money is coming from all the sales the game had at launch. It did very well out of the gate. (And I imagine the updates also fuel new sales)
My experience with it so far:
Bought the game, installed it, hit play. Took 10 minutes to "load shaders" while running single digits FPS and then it dumped me somewhere with some weird stutters. I hit the graphics action and changed it to borderless. Game instantly crashed, when I try to start it up again steam claims it's still running. Can't find the process in the task manager...what is it called? lol

What settings are you running at? I have a similar powered card (GTX 760) and I'm debating whether to get on PC or PS4, my card should be able to run higher than the PS4 but I've seen mixed reception to this port in terms of optimisation, was wondering what settings you're running at to maintain a steady 30fps.
I mean... that's a 5ms hit to the frame time for something which seems to quite drastically improve image quality. That's not too terrible overall, but can still likely be improved.
Im getting 60s on a 970 and oc'd i5-6600k, so you should be fine
I wouldnt be so sure. I have a 4690 at 4.2 and a 1080, and while I get 60 most of the time, it can drop down to the 40s.
i5-2500k @ 4.5GHz, 1070, 16GB RAM
Seeing terrible FPS since Next. First planet barely got over 50 fps at any point with High textures, med shadows, low reflections, no light shafts, and HBAO on. Not sure what I can do at this point, but I feel like I should get better performance than this, even with my aging CPU.

Drops to the 40s are becoming increasingly common. And if I lock it to 30, it stutters. Oh, no mans sky.
Playing everything on high at 1080p on an it 7600 1070ti 16 gigs.
Constant stutters from 50-60fps when moving around. Solid 60 when not moving.
It seems like the streaming causes constant stutter. I even brought all the settings to medium, and it has the same stutter.
Very annoying.

Thought i remembered lots of backlash and mass refunds reported during its launch window
There was, Sean Murray promised too much and the game wasn't ready for prime time.
I have almost exactly the same PC, a 2500K and a 980. Anyone here able to give me a hint as to how it'll run? Already got it on (launch) PS4, just wondering if my PC will get 60fps with at least the same graphics settings @ 1080p.
No microtransactions. Funding comes from people buying the game. Crazy...right? lol.
Nice! And weird since it seems to make things worse for some. :o
Can anybody PLEASE tell me how to turn off chromatic aboomeration, its so awful its hurting my eyes
Yes the dedicated memory, as 980ti has 6 gigs of vram.So when editing that texture page file size in the options, should I be use the dedicated video memory or the total available? The actual dedicated VRAM, right?
Edit: Oops double post
Getting similar results here:
i5 8400
gtx 1070 (over clocked slightly)
16gig ram
I just cannot keep a stable fps. Granted this is with everything maxed out (vsync turned off) at 1440p, but the game just doesn't want to stay at 60 fps. It mostly runs between 53-71, and bottoms for a brief second when entering a planets atmosphere at around 40-42 fps.
Setting it to 1080p gives me similar numbers (raising the average slightly, but still never keeping a constant 60), and trying all of the tricks I have read online hasn't worked....so I just locked it at 30 fps.
Annoyed at the moment.

i'm getting locks to 30fps. i will get about 60fps but when i turn the camera it drops and locks to 30fps. this is with vsync enabled through nvidia control panel. fast/adaptive sync i'm not using because i can't stand screen tearing. i've lowered settings to medium for shadow/reflection. textures are at high. 1440p resolution. x16 af, hbao on. light shafts on.
i have a 6700K/16GB/1070 with latest drivers. it's just not a pleasant experience at all. i've uninstalled it because i'm not playing it like this. performance was decent before this update because i had been playing it with no issue.

Yeah, it runs like shit. I hope they can optimize a bit. It's playable, but I already am thinking about waiting for a 1170 or whatever.
Curious if reinstalling would help. Another user mentioned above that his was better after uninstall/ reinstall, because he had it installed before the update.
Same for me, I think I'm going to uninstall and reinstall and see what happens.
You sure? Seems people with higher specs than that are struggling to get 60 at any decent settings from what I've read here.
Quoting myself from an old neogaf performance thread, but this should help fix stuttering if you have an NVIDIA GPU. Helped me tremendously on a 2600k/980ti setup.
game run pretty ass on my GTX1060 and i5 3570k, with shadows and reflections to low I can get it to 60fps without maxing out my gpu usage but there're still too much stuttering, and having to restart the game changing settings is kind of annoying. I'll mess around with it some other time when my friend has free time to play and hopefully there'll be some performance patches.

It's worth a try as the download isn't huge, but didn't really make a difference for me. Same FPS before/after the patch really. Usually just below 50fps to around 60 on planets on a 1070/4770k. This is at 1440p.
Just make sure you manually delete the Shadercache folder as it's left over after deleting the game. I had files in there dating back to 2016, but deleting everything still didn't really seem to make a difference performance wise.

Playing at 1080p with G-sync locked at 75FPS. Zero performance issues, so far as graphics go. All settings maxed except Motion Blur, which is disabled because I hate motion blur.
Silky smooth for me.

This is surprising to me.
I'm on a 1080 and 6700K and get nowhere near 50 fps on planets quite often.
