Yeah, I absolutely agree. I have no intention to install/upgrade to Windows 10. I've heard many bad things related to it.

I love AMD, I used to have a great PC with AMD CPU and GPU, as I remember, and it was running everything really well, and worked fine for many years.

The reason I got this one, it was on a very good sale, compared to everything else, and so I picked it up. I don't regret it tho. It's a fine PC. But still, my older one was such a great machine.

As for RAM upgrade, I don't think it's worth it at this point. I think it's time to simply buy a new PC soon, rather than upgrading this one in any way. It's getting old. I had it for 4-5 years now. It's time for a new one, probably for Christmas. There's always good deals around that time.

Thank you for the advise, tho. Appreciate it! :)

Maybe, but I don't think so. Main argument, that this game have bad optimization - almost all other games that I have at GOG and Steam works good (even those that have specs higher than my PC for optimal gameplay!!!). After some time of playing this "Game" I make a couple of videos about bugs / glitches / another defects and send report to Devs but no reaction from them - so if they don't want / can repair their game - I don't want to play it, everything is fair!

I play NMS just fine on a machine over 5 years old with only a GTX 760 (and I don't even have a SSD in it). Not sure what's going on with your setup that won't allow Medium or better. Are you using the latest Nvidia drivers? I found I did have to update my graphics drivers after one of the more recent NMS updates.

Game even didn't want to launch on my PC without drivers update, so I have updated Videocard drivers, update C++, Net framework, DirectX, some other soft, but none of this made my game comfort... :((

I have pretty much the exact same specs as you, less the SSD. While No Man's Sky has never performed great, it's always been playable. It actually improved quite a bit performance-wise for me since the Vulkan update. I'd really suspect an issue with your video drivers. Do any of your other games use Vulkan and work properly?

The game defenitely could be better optimized and still has a large amount of bugs that are just ignored to add new content, but I suspect another issue is the problem if the game is unplayable on that rig.

I dunno know, I see only one reason of poor performance in this game - my PC fight with No Man's Sky like a Virus (PC VS Virus, and hm... Antivirus), that's it (ツ).
About "The game defenitely could be better optimized and still has a large amount of bugs that are just ignored" - completely agree with you. That's a shame when Devs made good concept, semi-interesting gameplay, combine all with perfect music, BUT forgot about optimization and fixing annoing bugs / or even started to create new ones (sick)!

Size doesn't matter :P /s

Actually there is one thing A LOT (well MOST) people overlook and that would be antivirus.
When I still used windows I have used and tested a pletora of antivirus software and quite frankly all of them were $hit in terms of overhead. I personally used AVG, Avast, McAfee (back in the day when it was SLOW AS F*CK), Comodo, Bitdefender (for a long time), and probably some other stuff I don't remember. On not mine hardware I dealt with all of those plus ESET, Kaspersky, Trend Micro, Avira and other stuff.
All of them are really bad if you don't change default settings but people don't seem to realise that.
If you leave settings at default sooner or later you will drive into the kind of wall that will make you rage.

Do you want to deadlock your computer? Well then don't create on access scanning exclusion for World of Tanks diretory and (World of Tanks related) archive formats while running Bitdefender ;) (true story, I know because I learned the hard way)
Comodo used to throw at me left right and center all the time false positives even about very simple C++ programs.
Avast is generally known to be crap.
McAfee AT THIS POINT is the general story of "oh you didn't know I got preinstalled on your windows laptop? Well then let me take your precious resources" and it's not good at all anyway.
Kaspersky throws very BS false positives about legitimate software while neglecting some actual bad code. It also does a lot of "suspicious stuff" and generally it is not safe.

You know I had a lot of experience with all kinds of BS (I actually tend to break software even if I'm not trying, even software that is considered stable and patched for years, I just find bugs out of the blue) and at this point if somebody would ask me what is good av software for windows I would probably respond with NONE.
It really is that if somebody absolutely has to use windows for whatever reason and they need av software then they should use completely other methods opposing what is advertised and recommended and they should completely refactor their threat models and responses to it.

I'm sorry for this lenghty off branch of this conversation.

My point is that if you use ANY av software (that includes windows built in too) then you should manually add on access scanning exclusions for all your game directories, some file formats related to those and a bunch of other stuff. When I used Bitdefender I had probably more than 20 of those (out of which I did not pick each game folders just one collective folder for all of them so yeah I had these for other stuff too). If you don't it is gonna make your life hard.
And you know - if you have problems with some game it very well maybe a case of exactly problems with av slowing you down while scanning unnecesary stuff ;)

@B1tF1ghter, such many information about Antivirus software, from my side, that was only joke about NMS and Virus :)

It appears? You mean you haven't played it yet you are suggesting other people should buy it?

But it sounds like it is an okay game now if you like grinding.

I finally took some time to catch up with some stuff (as this electricity).

That bases now require the electricity separately build feels a bit deliberate but can add some fluff ("and here you see the generator room..."). That you need wiring adds some realism but is annoying; especially on cavern bases (more light, more cables). That wiring adds to the construction limit and the very same formerly smoothly perfectly working base is now a cluttered mess, half of it unpowered for the lack of more wires, is vicious. :/

NMS need some serious de-cluttering for the bases; not more of it. Remove wires, make light-sources strong enough that a single light can completely lighten up a normal sized room; removing the need to add so many. *sigh*

And nerfing stuff to make the new stuff shine more does not make the new stuff more interesting (extreme conditions and exocraft).

Its great that HG continues to work at the game and a mech looks like an awesome idea and addition; I can only hope that they take a closer look at some of the problems and fix them instead of piling new stuff that makes said problems even worse.

Thats may be last update for NMS, no info froms devs for long time...
