Best No Man’s Sky settings for the AMD RX 9070 XT (2026)

On a AMD RX 9070 XT (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), No Man’s Sky runs at roughly 97 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 98FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 9070 XT is a high-end graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and No Man’s Sky is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs great at 4K — about 97 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 227 FPS at 1080p and 171 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 97 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for No Man’s Sky, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Clouds, fog, weather and light shafts. Medium is an easy win.
Terrain TessellationLowbaseline
Adds real geometric depth to planet terrain. Low is a solid saving.
Planet QualityHighbaseline
Generation detail - terrain and object density on planets. High looks great; drop for frames.
GTAOStandardbaseline
Ground-truth ambient occlusion - contact shadows on surfaces. Standard is the performance pick.
Post ProcessingHighbaseline
