No Man's Sky benchmark on RTX 3060 Ti: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
No Man's Sky FPS with a RTX 3060 Ti and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 127FPS min 81Excellent | 98FPS min 70Good | 44FPS min 39Acceptable |
| High | 165FPS min 105Excellent | 127FPS min 91Excellent | 57FPS min 50Acceptable |
| Medium | 215FPS min 137Excellent | 167FPS min 119Excellent | 75FPS min 66Good |
| Low | 279FPS min 178Excellent | 216FPS min 154Excellent | 97FPS min 85Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 40% | CPU 27% | GPU 28% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 3060 Ti. There is 15% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
DLSS performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders No Man's Sky at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RTX 3060 Ti with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 127 | 159 | 184 |
| 1440p | 98 | 132 | 162 |
| 4K | 44 | 64 | 81 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3060 Ti does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
With that CPU, the RTX 3060 Ti has headroom to spare in No Man's Sky: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RTX 3060 Ti Enough for No Man's Sky?
The RTX 3060 Ti delivers 127 FPS at 1080p Ultra in No Man's Sky. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 98 FPS and at 4K 44 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
