It's pretty laggy on my craptop.

Press F3 and try those options.

The game is not yet optimized for any gaming rig but honestly you are going to have a hard time playing this game even on the lowest setting using a laptop. Upgrade or xbone?

Runs fine on my system. I managed to get rid of most stuttering and even when it does stutter It's not even noticeable because It's so small. Even playing on high water quality and recommended graphics quality. It's been a smooth experience so far. I don't even have a beast PC either.

based on the trello threads most of the major pre 1.0 development will be finished around june. from there the game will undergo rigorous stress testing bug bashing and finally... optimization. just sit tight and try dropping to lower resolution if necessary

I play subnautica with 50 fps on my laptop :p

Ok it's not a competition. My point is any person would have an easier time on a solid pc, or on the console. But at the present time everyone is having lag and/or rendering issues.

Edit: added note.

It doesn't have any FPS issues or hanging for me, running at 3840x1080p (I have a beast of a PC, so it makes sense)

The issue for me is that the menu's for the game settings and the Fabricator (which has a long list of things to craft) ends up getting cut off, and I think they could definetly revise this system.

At the current level of optimization, I think it's just a complete hardware compatabilty crapshoot, not a linear relationship between GPU power and game performance.

I'm running it on an integrated intel GPU chip. I have to use low settings and drop the resolution to 720, but it plays smoothly at that level on my current hardware. I see lots of people saying it doesn't run well or at all on much, much higher spec GPUs though, so that makes me think it's all just random compatabilty luck right now.
