On a NVIDIA GTX 1070 (laptop, 8GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), No Man’s Sky runs at roughly 68 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 69FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA GTX 1070 (laptop, 8GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and No Man’s Sky is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it runs well at 1080p — about 68 FPSwith 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 68 FPS at 1080p and 64 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 48 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
