How this performs on PC will make it or break it for me. A well optimized port that can pull 4K/60 max settings on an OCed 1080 and I'm in.

Options look pretty good - I wonder if the "UI off" option disables the scanlines and chromatic aberration up top also? They seem to be imitating a visor / part of the HUD so hopefully.

Either way, screens look really nice. And rebindable gamepad controls! Fuck yeah, that's too rare.

Will be maxing out the graphics at 1080p with G-sync enabled.

I want 75FPS locked and no pop-in.

Impress me, Sean.

I've got 16gbs of RAM, an i7, and a solid state drive, but I'm really worried about my 660m dragging the whole thing down.

This thread - and the information from NVidia - is building my hyype up again. I fully expect the game to be a pretty, though repetitive journey, and I'm fine with that as long as it runs well on my PC.

Running on a 3570k with a 970, and I'll do whatever it takes to get 60+ FPS at 1440p!

Playing at 1080p on that rig is a travesty man!

My monitor doesn't support G-sync at 4K.

Only at 1080p.

I'll try just VSYNC at 4K later.

I hate screen tearing more than any other visual anomaly.

I'll even take a FPS drop to counter screen tearing if needed. (Won't be needed)

Holy shit those graphic settings. I hope that means 120+ FPS.

EDIT:
And of course you can crank up the resolution, and disable V-Sync to run No Man’s Sky as fast as your GPU, CPU and monitor will allow.

Bless tha lord

I'll update later once I get it going

3Dmigoto to the rescue? Don't know if this game is DX11 though.

It's definitely not DX12. I'd imagine DX11 is a safe bet.

And why would I want them?
I've had a great time playing this on PS4 but I'm thinking about stopping so I can start over on PC. Would love to make the leap of faith and just pre order it but I've been worried about this being a shit port for a while. God I hope I'm wrong. Going to be keeping an eye on this thread all day.

Those 4K screens...goddamn

The PC settings + GTX 480 for minimum scream that it'll be great but you never know. Just give us a few hours of testing and you'll know for sure. What's your rig?

Hoping for 1080p with everything cranked.

But I'm actually more interested to see if CPU and RAM will buy faster content generation - and so reduced pop-in and generation artifacts.

Steam refund option is your friend. Although I don't think you'll need it. I'm optimistic after seeing that Nvidia link.

Bit off topic, but does anyone think DSR messes up your desktop? Whenever I do it for 4k, it messes up my desktop icons, they scatter all over the place.

Hmm?

Also I don't think it helps your case if you have to use games like JC3 and QB as examples.
Click to expand...

Play JC3 for a while and you'll have a bad time with only 8GB so take those numbers with a grain of salt. RAM's so cheap right now that upgrading is a no-brainer anyway, I mean 8 additional GB are half of what NMS costs (barring countries with extreme hardware prices).

REALLY hoping for SLI support for this.
Click to expand...

I wouldn't count on it tbh.

Think I'm gonna double dip on this. I've put quite a bit of time into the PS4 version, but the QoL enhancements on the PC are too much for me to pass on. May even bring out myb4k monitor for this one.

Rwally hoping for component port, I'm a bit worried tbh.

So then how would you go about it?

I haven't really done this before, but I believe I read that you set a custom resolution through the nvidia control panel and then you are able to select that resolution in-game?
Click to expand...

There's a setting in the NV Control Panel called DSR Factors. You then click a multiplier which will give you a resolution. 4x 1080p for example would be 4k, 2.5x is 2880x1660.

DSR's an option under "Manage 3D settings". You can select multipliers of your display's native resolution (1.25x, 1.5x, 2x, etc) which are then added to Windows' resolution list.

Provided the game pulls its list of resolutions from Windows (99% of modern games do), it'll work.

I don't know about desktop icons as I don't keep any there. I do however have an issue where some icons in the notification area on the taskbar become blurred after using DSR.

All these people with 1080s and 980s. Damn

And I'm just sitting here with my 970 wondering if I can reach 1080p60 maxed on every planet.
Vsynced. So more like 70fps minimum is what I'd like

Looking good ! But no AO ? I was hoping for it, some scenes / props cry for it as they don't appear grounded, especially with vegetation when it's not lush enough.

970 here along with only a i5-3570K, which has been a mild bottleneck in some of the newer games lately.

Regarding SLI support (photo is from a whiteboard in their studio during development):

One of the notes says SLI support. Next to Ryan. So if there's no SLI support we know who to blame.

Don't fuck this up, Ryan.

I was worried with the delay that the game would be a barebones shit port. That settings menu alleviates that fear a bit.

Now I'm more concerned the game plays like shit.

Apparently TotalBiscuit is going to be trying to stream this at 1300 EST, so I'm sure we'll get a look at the options and if there are any quirks in the PC version.

Cool, thanks. Will give it a shot, but if FPS starts dropping below 60, not worth it for me.

I'm honestly as much interested in mod tools as anything else at this point. It was huge for minecraft and it can add a lot to a game like this.

One feature I would like to see in the future is generation range (unless detail is covering that). As it seems to be compute based for the most part so the more power you have the further you can draw the lods etc.

Wonder how much of a performance hit that gives by extending it by 20m, I'm guessing a fair bit!
