Can the AMD Radeon Vega 8 (iGPU) run No Man’s Sky? (2026)

⚠️ Barely — only with upscaling and low settings

~40 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The AMD Radeon Vega 8 (iGPU) is a entry-level card with 2GB of VRAM, and No Man’s Sky is a moderately demanding game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 40 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 18 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	18	40
1440p	11	24
4K	6	14

💡 No Man’s Sky: Very well-optimised - runs smoothly on modest hardware.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 40 FPS, at 1440p about 24 FPS, and at 4K roughly 14 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
