your gaming PC ready for No Man&#8217;s Sky?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>No Man&#8217;s Sky is set to release soon, and gamers all around the world are excited to experience the biggest video game ever created.<\/p>\n<p>Boasting <strong>18-quintillion\u00a0procedurally-generated planets<\/strong> all present within a\u00a0scale model of the universe, it makes sense that the game may be relatively taxing on your hardware.<\/p>\n<p>The game&#8217;s system requirements have been available for a while now, and although they reflect the demands of modern gaming, they do not seem as high as expected.<\/p>\n<p>The game relies on the PC&#8217;s hardware to generate the universe and planets, and will require a powerful processor, with four cores and\u00a0a <strong>minimum clock speed of 2.8GHz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The more powerful the processor, the smoother the experience with this type of spontaneously generated game.<\/p>\n<p>No Man&#8217;s Sky also has high memory demands,\u00a0with<strong>\u00a08GB of RAM<\/strong> being the\u00a0minimum amount of memory required to run the game.<\/p>\n<p>Although we have seen that\u00a0having over 4GB of memory <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/hardware\/96975-this-is-how-much-ram-you-actually-need-for-gaming.html\" target=\"_blank\">does not really improve gaming performance<\/a><\/strong>, No Man&#8217;s Sky&#8217;s procedurally-generated universe may\u00a0be the exception to the rule.<\/p>\n<p>With regard to graphics, the game is surprisingly forgiving and will run perfectly fine on a GeForce GTX 960, meaning that it should perform well on any mid-range graphics card.<\/p>\n<p>No Man&#8217;s Sky is set to release on <strong>12\u00a0August 2016<\/strong> for <strong>PC<\/strong> and <strong>10 August<\/strong>\u00a0for\u00a0<strong>PlayStation 4<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More gaming news<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to Nintendo stocks plummet \u2013
