No Man’s Sky is now an incredibly optimized title. After numerous updates, the developers have refined the game to effectively leverage both modern CPUs and GPUs, achieving high frame rates. Even with entry-level offerings such as the RTX 4060, the game can easily hit above 60FPS. With these settings, you can expect much higher frame rates without noticeable visual differences.

Gamers with an RTX 4060 can play this game comfortably with these settings at 1080p resolution. Terrain deformation, intensive mining, or engaging in dogfights with space pirates will be no problem. 4060 Ti and higher GPU power users can follow these settings, but can comfortably utilize the 1440p resolution. With the latest update, the game now brings in DLSS Transformer model support, making the image output better than the CNN model.

From the 4070 Super onwards came incredible performance enhancements. The settings below ensure that you get a high frame rate alongside superb visual fidelity. Keep in mind that the 4070 Super requires a very capable CPU. As long as you have CPU power equal to that of the 12600K or the Ryzen 5 7600X, you are good to go.

At 4K, the 4070 Ti Super and higher GPUs can easily play the game at these settings. You can even try DLAA, and you will still get a very high framerate. You can also use RTSS to cap your frame rate and save power in the process. The in-game FPS cap also works, but RTSS is more efficient in doing so.
