Is it an option or there's no hope for me?

Sapphire Radeon HD 6570 2GB. Is it an option or there's no hope for me? lol
I can assure you there's no hope for us man. We most likely will have to buy a new pc.

A radeon 280 should be ok for minimum specs you could pick up a 290x for $200 or less roughly used

A R9 280 is greatly faster than a GTX 480.

Upgrading a graphics card several levels of quality higher is never just about buying a new card. It's basically about upgrading the whole thing, new motherboard in the first place and consequently most of the other components as well since new motherboard might require a different case, cables and everything...

GTX 480 is minimum.
Here is a comparison of this card and yours -> http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-HD-7750-vs-GeForce-GTX-480

Edit: had to remove the point from the link :)

Well if you look at raw performance.

GTX 480 = 1,345.0 GFLOPS

HD 7750 = 819.2 GFLOPS

R9 270x = 2,688 GFLOPS

R9 280x = 4,383 GFLOPS

So that means that your HD 7750 is approx 40% slower than a GTX 480.

You can always try and if it doesn't work upgrade or get a refund.

It'd be fair to mention that it MIGHT work, nobody really knows. Don't buy any new hardware until you make sure that your current hardware really can't run it. If you're just looking to play and don't care much about the highest details, you might be (hopefully) able to lower the graphics settings in the game to make it run better for you. It will also be a good indicator of how much better hardware you will need if it doesn't run well on your current hardware. You will be able to tell if you do some tests and experiments with some diagnostics, is the CPU a bottleneck, is the GPU a bottleneck or maybe it's neither of those and it's just your RAM being too small? And maybe it's extreme and everything is basically a bottleneck and you won't be able to play at all. All these indicators will give you a hint what exactly will have to be upgraded.

If you are confused about the technical infos on the link the answer is : You won`t be happy.
But as mentioned before from [GrandPa Gaming NL] : You can try and refund if it`s a slideshow or don`t start at all.

Jumping in late on this, but I figured I'd let everyone know that I have NMS running great on my Son's PC running a 2gb AMD HD 6970, with an i5 4570, 8gb Ram, on Win 10. I had it running well before with High Settings, but after the major update the game started just crashing while "Loading Shaders"...Switching drivers got it working, but then it had really ugly textures. After a lot of messing around with the config files, trying different drivers, and settings and whatnot I found some help on here that got me up and running with Medium Textures, running very smooth, and looking really good. So it is possible to run with an older card.

So here's what I did:

- Roll back to 15.7 whql drivers (16.2.1 did not work for me)
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=legacy3&os=Windows%2010%20-%2064


- Edit your TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML and:
- VsyncEx = Off
- TextureDetail = Normal
- some say to edit the TextureStreamingEx = Off, but then my game crashes so I left it
set to "Auto"

- Link to the thread that finally got me all working (Thanks to CrimsonGamer99) https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/1471968797466189336/

And the game runs great on the trusty old HD 6970 2gb! I have other settings on High, Light Rays, etc. just Medium textures, and Med Shadow detail, TAA (low), Currently 8x Af although 16x ran fine also, but wasn't a noticeable difference so I figured I might squeeze a couple extra FPS with 8x.

Depending on the rest of your system there could be other issues causing crashes as well. His PC has 8gb of ram and to stop the game crashing the desktop with a "your pc is running out of memory" message (even though not all 8gb of ram was being used...) I had to up the virtual memory to 8gb on the c: , and then it stopped crashing.

The game has it's quirks, but Once it's up and running it's a good time, he was trying to go to bed and I wanted to keep playing on his PC...so I might have to pick up a second copy for myself.
