No Man's Sky on GeForce RTX 2080

Well above recommendedEstimate · low confidence, ±30%

Yes. The GeForce RTX 2080 is well above No Man's Sky's recommended spec. We estimate 300+ fps at 1080p high (range 300–300+, low confidence, ±30%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~300 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 8 GB of video memory covers the 3 GB the game requires at minimum. 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: 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 2080 back.

Video memory

GeForce RTX 2080: 8 GB
Minimum spec: 3 GB (+5 GB headroom)
