I am sad with my graphic card
I was very excited when I purchased this game on steam, but here people told me that my graphic card driver nvidia GeForce GT 520m is not support vulkan on which game work. I am heart broken now, I wants to play this game but at this moment can't purchase a console. What should I do. Please suggest

I started this game out with Windows 10 on a late 2013 27" iMac. It played the game better than on any gaming console. The only issue was that after about a month, I would have to start the game over because I only had 1 gig of graphics memory. If you want it bad enough, buy it and see if you can play it on your computer. You just have to decide if the risk is worth it to you or not.

Yeah I don't see much of a chance with that card. Max amount of memory 1536 MB, that would kill you even if it ran. You are going to have to get some newer hardware somehow. :(

I purchased it on steam but it says no graphic driver support vulkan. So I sadly asked for refund

Sorry to hear. You could've still played the game from cloud live streaming, Ex Nvidia GForce Now, though it's not entirely free. That sucks there's no Vulkan support, but it seems like there should be a way to get support. Maybe not legit, but should be possible. I'll let you know if I figure out if this is actually possible or not.

Sorry. At least you now know for sure. There were multiple games that said they weren't compatible with my iMac at the time but many of them did work. So I generally take the chance and find out for myself to be sure. I just have to remember that my graphics card memory may hinder longer game save life on these newer games coming out. I did buy a low end Alienware computer since then but still only have 4 gigs of graphic memory. So far, it's been perfect for my preferred gaming.

Are graphic card prices still outrageous?

I'm still seeing vids complaining. I think they are trying to block the ones grabbing them just to sell them at a higher cost. So that should bring them back down but now with Microsoft 11 using the graphics memory too, so that the cpu can work faster. That may cause another rise.

Since Alienware is Dell, Dell sells a lot of different components and graphics cards. I see better prices on their site. I feel more comfortable using them to buy my components from now a days.

Do you have an ps4 or Xbox? NMS is on both consoles, while the graphics are not as good as a pc can get, the game is much more stable on console.

It wouldn't hurt to load the latest and greatest graphics drivers and giving it a try.
1050Ti тоже не выдерживает игру.

Ok, just got some serious sticker shock!

Reading the post, I'm thinking can't be more than $200.00 U.S. for a basic video card that can run NMS which is way cheaper than buying an entire console setup.

cough, gag, sputter . . my MSI GTX 1070TI that I bought almost three years ago for less than $400.00 is now more than $850.00!
I sure hope nothing goes wrong with my video card for awhile.

Won't help. The GT 520m does not have Vulkan support, period. The oldest GeForce integrated GPU to support Vulkan is the GTX 830m: https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver

I'm seeing this too.
