FF16 PC Performance Lags Despite High-End GPU

Final Fantasy XVI's recent PC launch, alongside a PS5 update, has unfortunately been plagued by performance hiccups and glitches. This article details the specific performance problems affecting both platforms.

FFXVI PC: Performance Bottlenecks Even on High-End Hardware

While fans eagerly anticipated experiencing FFXVI's visuals at 4K/60fps, benchmarks reveal that even the powerful NVIDIA RTX 4090 struggles to consistently achieve this. DSOGaming's John Papadopoulos reports significant difficulties maintaining a stable 60fps at native 4K with maximum settings.

However, a potential solution exists. Enabling DLSS 3 Frame Generation with DLAA reportedly boosts frame rates beyond 80fps. DLSS 3 leverages AI to generate extra frames, enhancing smoothness, while DLAA is an anti-aliasing technique improving image quality with minimal performance impact.

Arriving on PC on September 17th, the Complete Edition bundles the base game with the "Echoes of the Fallen" and "The Rising Tide" expansions. Before launching, ensure your system meets the minimum or recommended specifications for optimal performance.
