The NVIDIA RTX 3060 (12GB) is a mainstream 1080p card with 12GB of VRAM, and No Man’s Sky is a moderately demanding game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU it averages about 117 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 118 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 118 | 117 |
| 1440p | 71 | 70 |
| 4K | 40 | 61 |
At 1080p expect around 117 FPS, at 1440p about 70 FPS, and at 4K roughly 61 FPS with optimized settings. No Man’s Sky doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
