Help, I have a gtx 1060 6gb and i only get 30fps on NMS with all low and medium settings any ideas on how to improve

check your ingame config and see if it is set to limit your frame to 30 fps or not. And try to disable ingame vsync and see how many fps you get normaly without vsync.

I'm using rx480 4GB and got 40-60 fps on med-high settings. Yours should ran slightly better than mine.

Step 1.) Take a few hours to actually understand the demands of a game and how it effects different parts of your computer and understand that graphics cards are <25% of a games performance in certain games.

Ya I did that first still locks in at 30 and once in a while goes to 35 to 40

what is your CPU? this game should be more a GPU intensive game and it like to push GPU to 90-100% load all the times, but CPU still would matters here.

actually it is very CPU heavy because it is constantly generating your surroundings. I have Fx-8320 8 core cpu and a R9 270X 4gb, with 16gb ram. watching how they get used, my cpu is clearly the weak link for this game.

I once use an old i7-3612QM laptop with GeForce 640GT 2GB. My GPU worked at 100% capacity all the times and the processor frequency without turboboost should be only 2.1 Ghz. NMS only barely run all low settings at 1024x768 @30 fps, with no shadow mod that time. When I got a bit money, I bought an eGPU module with RX480.. the game ran much better, medium/high 900p @40-60 fps, even with the same processor. (I'm currently with i3-7100 + RX480).

Two things that can be concluded here, my processor might be over the minimum specs and/or the game is just GPU hungry.

I agree that there is a constant generation process in NMS, but what I'm not sure is if this process actually using your CPU or GPU load.

hi gon..

without going into to much config detail.. as there are many posts in the tech help sub forum. you could try.

running the game in borderless windowed mode. (with your same resolution). seems like an odd request, but it has helped many run much faster/smoother with just this little tweek.

turn off nvidia overlay/control pannel. "Geforce Experience". for some cards (nvidia obviously) there seems to be an issue with playing nice with steam overlay, and NMS can chug with either on for some folks.

turn of forced vsync in your nvidia control pannel. not application controlled. not on. completely off. turning it off in game options doesn't seem to work correctly.

thats all i have time for atm.

gl with your issue.

all the best.

My Cpu is a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6400 CPU @ 2.70GHz

Have you tried @OZFugazi suggestions? turning off 'GeForce Experience' helped some people here.

More than 'some', but seconded. or thirded. whatever.

Ok so I screwed around with a bunch of settings and here's what I came up with:

Borderless window mode is a must.

FXAA

anistropic filtering: 4

Vsync: off (you have to turn it off in you nvidia control panel)

Geforce experience overlay: Off TURN IT OFF VIA GEFORCE. BIG DIFFERENCE.

Texture qaulity: ultra

shadow qaulity: med

reflect quality: med

motion blur: 50

Fov for everything: 65

I'm sure I missed some stuff, but since I have the same GPU as you it shouldn't matter for the other stuff. Most of the time I get 40-60 fps except when I'm on planets and flora/fauna load in. Same for when I enter a planets atmosphere or cruise in low flight over a planets surface.

[OZFugazi]

hi.

@scarface. you could completely turn off motion blur, as it doesn't add much of any effect and can help speed up things. also fov maxed doesn't require much and opens things up quite a bit. any higher fov needs to be edited in the ini.

there are a couple other big tweeks that can be edited in the ini, but if you're having success. not necessary.

all the best.

Thanks for the advice but even with that I get 25 fps

My mobo design doesn't let me utitlize dimm slot 1, unless I can find a good stand off heat sink. (Anyone know of a good one?) Was running a pair of 8Gb chips in dual channel, with wild FPS swings from 60 down to the teens even single digit when first loading base. Just for fun moved them to slots 3,4 and added an identical (4Gb) in for a total 20Gb all single channel mode. Now a solid 38~42 in NMS without wild swings. 80+ in other games. Not sure if this will help your situation, just thought I should put it out there. GL.

I don't get it dude. My CPU is worse than yours (FX6300). You SHOULD be getting better FPS than me if it was your CPU bottlenecking. Maybe check your nvidia control panel and make sure FXAA is on? Mine wasn't, but NMS with the default settings was trying to use it, so I tryed TAA only at first (I had no idea what I was doing really).

Perhaps check to see if your 1060 is your computers dedicated GPU? Maybe your computer is using the integrated gpu instead? I dunno.
