I am looking to purchase No Mans Sky now that the new update has rolled out, and I was hoping to be able to play on my PC since it is on sale for $30 on Steam instead of full price on Xbox. I was wondering if anyone knowledgeable in the area could tell me if I would be able to satisfactorily run the game on my PC at or around the same graphics effects I can get on my console. These are my current CPU specs, (I know its not great by any means, but do not have the funds for the eventual upgrade I would like):
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T
GPU: PNY 1050 GT, 2GB
RAM: 12GB
Thank you in advance for any insight on this, and again, I am looking to be able to play the game at an enjoyable frame rate with at least enjoyable graphics settings (no potato mode)

I don't know what resolution your computer is capable of. My system is at 1440p and at highest settings without anti-aliasing I get less than 45 fps. Which is ridiculous considering I have a GTX 1080 capable of running many current games well above 60 fps. This was with myself testing the multiplayer earlier today. The PC version might receive some performance patches in the future. The recent update was a rather large one and might have tweak some things.
