No Man’s Sky PC Performance Retest

4K Testing

When compared to No Man’s Sky’s day 1 performance the game has improved immensely, seeing performance improvements on all GPUs tested and getting rid of the game’s random slowdown elements.  Even with these performance improvements none of our GPUs were able to get close to solid 60FPS gameplay, meaning that higher end GPU solutions like a overclocked GTX 1080 or a Pascal Powered Titan X. 

We did not compare the game’s performance at Ultra between the Launch day and patched game versions as the original version of the game did not have functioning SSAA making performance comparisons useless. 

Performance on AMD’s GPUs sees huge improvements, though AMD’s performance is still well below their Nvidia equivalents. Hello Games will need to continue improving the game’s performance on AMD GPUs.
