Final Fantasy XVI's PC launch, alongside a PS5 update, has unfortunately been plagued by performance hiccups and glitches. This article delves into the specific performance problems affecting both platforms.
FFXVI PC Performance: A High-End Struggle
While fans eagerly anticipated experiencing FFXVI's graphical prowess at 4K/60fps on PC, benchmarks reveal that even the mighty NVIDIA RTX 4090 struggles to consistently maintain this target with maximum settings. DSOGaming's John Papadopoulos reports achieving a stable 60fps at native 4K with maxed-out settings is challenging, a surprising revelation given the RTX 4090's capabilities.
However, a solution exists. Utilizing DLSS 3 Frame Generation with DLAA reportedly boosts frame rates above 80fps consistently. DLSS 3 leverages AI to generate extra frames for smoother gameplay, while DLAA is an anti-aliasing technique improving image quality with minimal performance impact.
Arriving on PC on September 17th, 2024, the Complete Edition includes the base game and both story expansions. Before embarking on your adventure, ensure your system meets the recommended specifications for optimal performance. See the minimum and recommended specs below:
