No Man’s Sky: Best Settings For RTX 3050, RX 7600, RTX 3060, B570
The settings below are for GPUs that are within 10-15% of one another in terms of performance delta. Gamers with an RTX 3060, 6GB or 8GB can comfortably use these settings. Gamers with RX 7600 can also use these, but can increase the Animation Quality, Shadow Quality, and Post-Processing in the process. RTX 3060 users can also increase the same. Arc B570 users can comfortably use the Ultra settings, along with the previously mentioned parameters, including Volumetrics and Water Quality.

No Man’s Sky: Best Settings For RTX 4050, RTX 4060, RTX 5050, RTX 5060, RX 9060 XT
The RTX 4050 is a laptop-specific model, and we have mentioned this because a lot of laptop gamers love to play this game. That said, these GPUs have significant variation in performance, which is why, for the 4050, the settings below are highly accurate.
However, for models 4060 and higher, use this as a starting point and then customize accordingly. You can easily choose the Ultra option on Animation Quality, Shadow Quality, and Post-Processing. If VRAM allows, you may also increase the Water Quality. 16GB GPU owners, such as those with the 4060 Ti, 5060 Ti, and RX 9060 XT, can easily max out everything and play at 1080p using DLAA.
GTAO is intentionally kept at lower values because this option, at higher values, can get in the way of your visibility. The computing power of this kind of GPU tier isn’t an issue, but swampy biomes or gaseous planets might overwhelm your eyes with the particle effects.
