Best No Man’s Sky settings for the NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), No Man’s Sky runs at roughly 97 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 99FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti is a strong 1440p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and No Man’s Sky is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it runs great at 1440p — 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 162 FPS at 1080p and 97 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 74 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSOff
No Man's Sky supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS. A free FPS boost on a very well-optimised game - enable it first.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap on FPS if it fits your VRAM.
Shadow DetailHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range across planets. High is the value pick over Ultra.
ReflectionsMediumbaseline
Reflections on water and shiny surfaces. Medium is plenty.
Volumetric EffectsMediumbaseline
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
Combined bloom, sun shafts, motion blur, depth of field and vignette. Set to taste.
