No Man's Sky on GeForce RTX 2060 Laptop GPU
Yes. The GeForce RTX 2060 Laptop GPU is well above No Man's Sky's recommended spec. We estimate ~253 fps at 1080p high (range 177–300+, low confidence, ±30%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~177 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 6 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 300+ | 300+ | 180 |
| medium | 300+ | 230 | 138 |
| high | 253 | 177 | 106 |
| ultra | 202 | 141 | 85 |
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 Laptop GPU back.
- Processor needed for ~253 fps: Ryzen 9 9900X3D or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 2060 Laptop GPU: 6 GB
- Minimum spec: 3 GB (+3 GB headroom)
