No Man's Sky on AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics

Meets minimumEstimate · low confidence, ±30%

Yes, at lower settings. The AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics meets No Man's Sky's minimum spec but not the recommended one. We estimate ~49 fps at 1080p high (range 34–64, low confidence, ±30%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1080p, use the medium preset. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the GeForce GTX 1630 (~84 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

Estimate · low confidence, ±30%

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: medium preset
60 fps at 1440p: not reachable
144 fps at 1080p: not reachable

AMD card: use FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset (XeSS also works). DLSS is not available on Radeon.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics back.
Processor needed for ~49 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
