No Man's Sky on GeForce GTX 660
Yes. The GeForce GTX 660 is well above No Man's Sky's recommended spec. We estimate ~91 fps at 1080p high (range 64–119, low confidence, ±30%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the high preset (~64 fps on high). Its 2 GB of video memory is below the 3 GB the game requires at minimum. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 155 | 109 | 65 |
| medium | 119 | 83 | 50 |
| high | 91 | 64 | 38 |
| ultra | 73 | 51 | 31 |
Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.
Best settings
- 60 fps at 1080p: ultra preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: high preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: low preset
This GeForce card has no tensor cores, so DLSS is not available. Use FSR or XeSS in quality mode before dropping the preset.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce GTX 660 back.
- Processor needed for ~91 fps: Ryzen 3 3100 or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
Video memory
- GeForce GTX 660: 2 GB
- Minimum spec: 3 GB (1 GB short)
Cheapest upgrade for each target
Slowest current desktop card (2020+) that reaches each target in No Man's Sky; usually the cheapest.
