My poor alienware alpha can't handle this one. 
Dropped everything to low and it still seems to run at 20 fps

I'm running at 1440p. I've tried running with SSAAx4 and no AA at all and average framerate changes by 3 or 4 FPS at most. Temperatures on my GPU top out at 75 C.

That's very strange then, our setups are nearly identical. My 290 isn't over clocked and my CPU is older (3570k) but it is over clocked to 4000 or 4100. Doesn't seem like that should matter but some people are saying this hits the CPU hard.

It really depends on the planet. I've found a pretty one that brings my FPS down to a 50-55 average xD CPU utilization 70-80% on multiple cores
Played for 2h now. Still no crashes and only stuttering appears when entering an orbit at extreme speed (as soon as the ship has slowed down it's gone)

Another thing they did which is weird, is not have vectored UI elements. This means that all text and UI elements are scaled (stretched) to your resolution. This is something which looks awful at resolutions above 1080p. Kinda like anti-future proofing your game.

Got my refund this morning. Glad I decided to bail out and the game just happened to crash at the 90 minute mark.
Why? There's no multiplayer so its not like what they do will effect you or anyone else in any way

Nothing seems to work here, no magic fix. My CPU chokes when I'm moving, goes from 30% up to 85-90% usage, and the frames drop to the 30-40s for a second or two. Very annoying. Maybe Sandybridge just can't deliver 60fps.
Weird. I have slightly worse specs than you and am not having those issues constantly.
Here's a bit of a check list that got it working pretty well for me:
1. V-sync off in game
2. FPS set to max in game
3. AA set to off/none
4. Use borderless window mode
5. Use medium/low settings for everything (only increase these from low once you actually get it running well.
6. Use driver 368.81 not the beta 369.00 (beta driver caused slowdowns for me)
7. Run at 1080p
8. Open TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML in No Man's Sky/Binaries/Settings
- Make sure v-sync and Gsync are both set to false.
9. In Nvidia control panel I turned on Anisotropic filtering to 16x and FXAA to On.
You're afraid they'll name more planets than you?

Fuck it. Gave up and bought it on PS4.
Beyond frustrating.

Wish I could do that but I bought at gog.
There's no multiplayer for now, we still don't know for sure how it's gonna be with future updates. I'm not counting on it though, but still, the data of discoveries is shared, so imagine if everyone was cheating, and naming dozens and dozens of planets without having to put work on it. Discrovering new things is a reward, and it's shared with everyone. It doesn't sit right with me if they are not earned, that's all.
Of course it's not as bad as cheating in a competitive game, but on some level it bothers me a bit.

Oh I still have it on steam.. Can't get a refund because I fell asleep tweaking it in the menus, so I've 15 hours "played".
Haven't done a damn thing but watch the intro.
120 dollars in. Hoping this is good. 60 seconds left till my PSN download finishes.
I thought GOG has a 30 day refund policy.

Tips for people who need a major boost in FPS/performance:
Change FPS to 90 or Max (though i recommend 90)
Set Borderless Window
Disable V-sync
And lastly, go to the installation folder/Binaries/TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML and change Gsync to false
Boom, the game is pretty stable now.

If I'm using anisotropic filtering in Nvidia control panel should I disable it in game?
Running on a I7 6700K, 290X, 16 GB ram and on an ssd, it was running fine for me except i couldn´t get rid of the screan tearing no matter what, also some stuttering at times when as someone else said i boost straight into the atmosphere and almost burn up on entry.
Now as it seems some settings ingame doesn´t take as they should so i went and turned them off and forced it on the radeon profile, aa, af and vsync, unlocked fps ingame and set to target 60 in profile.
Now it seems to run smooth for me even leaving and exiting while boosting, and best part no more tearing.

They do. If you experience technical issues you can always ask for help + refund.
I personally set it to 16 in game as well. Tbh If you set it to off in game I don't think it would matter anyway as it's enabled in control panel.

did all that and it still ran badly.

anybody else getting random crashes at multitool blueprint stations?
Does AF in control panel actually make any difference? From watching the way the game generates the textures as you walk around, I'm not sure there's anything in those soft distant textures that AF would actually help with. Or is it that the in-game AF is just broken? Anybody got pics?

Specs?

The driver will overwrite the setting, so it doesn't matter what you use in-game.
specs?
That's why I got it on Steam, knowing I could get a refund if I needed to.
PSA: Mouse sensitivity setting doesn't stick until you quit out and restart the game, like most of the graphics settings.

Very odd! Out of curiosity, what quality settings are you running at?

Was having an issue where the game would completely lock up upon start, this would happen after I tried to alt+tab in fullscreen mode.
Deleted the settings folder in the binaries directory of the game and that fixed it.
Should have mentioned this last night, but just remembered now.

So what's the consensus on the LoD/dithering on the PC version? Significantly improved over PS4 or just about the same?
It's the main reason I'm considering double dipping lol (secondary reasons being FOV and framerate)

Im torn, i really like the experience, the exploration, the ambiance and for me the game runs fine...
BUT i cannot stand the blurriness.
how long we are gonna pretend to ignore the worst problem the PC version came with...:
INTERNAL RESOLUTION LOCK!
and the sad part is that i dont think Hello Games will ever acknowledge that issue. so probably im gonna wait for a week and then refund it which is a shame because i really waited a lot for this

Probably incidental but I was having really poor performance on i5 4690K (4GHz) and Nvidia 1080 - tried alsorts and then rebooted to install a windows update, reboot seemed to fix it! Locked 60 now at max settings on a 3440x2440 screen!

Thinking of picking up the Xbox one wireless controller today? Anyone able to get it working in NMS?

I believe any game made before 1997 is "essentially cave man art."
Works just fine but the game randomly flashes between the Xbox control prompts to keyboard and mouse during gameplay

Works fine for me!
Why add this conjecture right here?
Wait, it doesn't even run at 1440p? The game is upscaling itself?
That's a dealbreaker.

seeing as it doesn't exist... we can continue to ignore it?
Nevadatan

because judging how they deal with the multiplayer saga is something to be expected.
it has to be upscaling, i cannot think of another explanation for the terrible blurriness. (i have AA and AF disabled)
last time i experienced something like that was with Dark Souls PTDE. and later we discovered that it was locked to 720p
