PSA: Nvidia Users follow these settings for an FPS boost.

Morning all,

My Rig : i5 4690K @ 4.2Ghz, 16GB RAM, GTX1080, all installed on SSDs.

Since the update I've had pretty sketchy FPS, dipping into the 30s and 40s, I wasn't very happy about it.

So here's what I did.

First and foremost, update to the latest drivers (385.28), this helped a lot.

1. Enable TextureStreamingEx

To do this, go to : No Man's Sky\Binaries\Settings\ open TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS in notepad (or similar and set TextureStreamingEx=On

2. Set the number of cores the game uses in TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS. I have 4 cores, so I set it to use 2 low and 4 high

NumHighThreads=4

NumLowThreads=2

3. If you use VSync (to get rid of the terrible screen tearing this game suffers from), make sure you enable Triple Buffering in the Nvidia Control Panel

4. Disable the Geforce Experience Overlay

This made a huge difference for me. I now never drop below 60FPS and everything is peachy. To do this, launch Geforce Experience and go to Settings, turn off the Share button :

Hopefully this'll speed things up for all you Nvidia users.

Any more tips will be appreciated.
