No Man's Sky on GeForce RTX 2060 12GB
Yes. The GeForce RTX 2060 12GB is well above No Man's Sky's recommended spec. We estimate 300+ fps at 1080p high (range 221–300+, low confidence, ±30%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~221 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 12 GB of video memory covers 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 |

| high | 300+ | 221 | 133 |
| ultra | 253 | 177 | 106 |
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: ultra preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: ultra preset
NVIDIA RTX card: turn on DLSS in quality mode before dropping the preset; FSR and XeSS also work if the game lacks DLSS.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce RTX 2060 12GB back.
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 2060 12GB: 12 GB
- Minimum spec: 3 GB (+9 GB headroom)
