No Man's Sky on Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB

Well above recommendedEstimate · low confidence, ±30%

Yes. The Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB is well above No Man's Sky's recommended spec. We estimate ~211 fps at 1080p high (range 147–274, low confidence, ±30%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~147 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

144 fps at 1080p: ultra preset

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 Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB back.
Processor needed for ~211 fps: Ryzen 9 7950X or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).

Video memory

Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB: 8 GB
