Low FPS with semi-high end PCs

[Monkey⚡]

Is there anyone else that gets low FPS when playing.... Roughly around 40-50fps

spec are:
i7 8700k
16 GB RAM
GTX 970

I have looked all over for a fix but just no luck. Help is much appreciated

Only difference is, that i have 1070.
My FPS are round about 80 on Planets. +/-10 FPS based on Location.
Inside Stations is round about 100-120.
Just drop to 60 +/-10 when going down on a planet fast.
Graphics are mostly maxed out. TSAA, AA 4x.
Playin in Borderless Window.

I´ve Set the VRAM to my GPU Ramsize and the CPU and THreads using 6/12.

low fps is something many are experiencing. Not sure why but AMD cards are affected the worst in my research. I have a Powercolor RX Vega 56 and I am luck to get 30fps on planets 60 in stations consistantly. I have tried tons of communitychanges with little effect. I have no doubt HG will address FPS issues + I am sure AMD and Nvidia will look at their drivers and optimize for the game.

I can still play and have fun but I do look forward to the upcoming patches to Experimental.

In short we will need to wait for patches

Yeah, none of the fixes I've seen so far seem to work for AMD systems. I can run any new game at medium-high settings but NMS just makes my system gasp for breath. It's ridiculous. I desperatley want to get into this game but the performance just kills the experience. I've tried a host of different things and nothing seems to make a real difference. As you say, we'll just have to wait and pray for opimizations

Comparing Game A with B is common these days....
It is 100% irrelevant how much FPS you have in Game B, C D and so on and/or how Good other games running. It is NOT Game A. So comparing games is useless and has nothing to do with Game A performance.
Watch out what u can do to improve Performance on Game A.
Lower Ingame Options, tweak Grafic Driver Options, and so on.

Still not running to your satisfaction? Upgrade your Hardware, wait for Patches, or refund and not playing it.
Thats your Options.

But Comparing Games performance with each other is total nonsense.

I feel you man, when I had my gtx 780 the game war running like ♥♥♥♥, and this was in atlas rises, my pc was new, ryzen 1700x 16gb ddr4 kick ass motherboard and psu, but the 780 was dragging everything down. i think the 3gb of memory it had was just not enough. This game is very heavy gpu wise.

There is no fix, you're playing on a 970 which hasn't even been semi-high end for a while now. That card is below a 1060 which is the current mid-range card in Nvidia's product stack. Your performance is normal for the GPU you're packing.

They need to update their requirements list, because the various graphical updates and additions over the last two years have noticeably increased what's necessary to crank everything up in NMS.

I had a 980 when NMS first launched. My FPS sometimes hit 60. I had to turn some stuff down but it was in an enjoyable 40 range until the memory leak hit (which caused my first refund during the epidemic.)

Now I have a 1080ti and used the config guid here---all my other hardware stayed the same. Frame rate stays high.

[EX8MG3]

Same situation here with full AMD system, my Rx480 and Ryzen1600 will struggle at any settings at any resolution, drop fps to 20 to 30 ish happen always. My temporary solution is to lock 30fps and use all medium settings except ultra texture, not please tho :/

You're running a card that is roughly 60 percent more powerful than his, and your FPS is correspondingly roughly 60% higher.

additional to the above mentioned trick with the CPU/Threads config i did:

- set vsync in game off
- set vsync in nvidia-console for the game on (dunno technically why this works)
- set max framerate to 110 (when i set it just to "max" i get microlags)

Runs smooth now.
got same rig i7 8700k, 16GB Ram and GTX 770

1070 card here. Can maintain capped framerate 60fps fully maxed. However, lag spikes that last only a couple seconds frequently occur.

I am running into similar issues even with a high end system

Intel i7 7700K @4.20GHz
32.0 GB RAM
1080ti

I have gone through the above guide (and other similar ones) and I get no more than 37fps no matter my graphic settings. Any thoughts? My monitor's refresh rate is 75 Hz, so it seems like I am only getting half of that, which may or may not be a coincidence.

[Silverangel]

Sounds like Vsync at you Cygnus13. Ingame or per Driver. Disable it.
And/or other software.

[Rev. OG UwU]

Even with vsync off (both in game and in nvidia settings and game settings set to max framerate) It will ocassionally go up to 45ish.
