FFXVI PC Performance: High-End Hardware Struggles

While developer Naoki Yoshida recently requested fans to avoid creating offensive or inappropriate PC mods, even top-tier hardware is struggling to deliver a smooth experience. Many anticipated 4K/60fps gameplay, but benchmarks reveal this is challenging even with an RTX 4090.

DSOGaming's John Papadopoulos reported difficulties maintaining a consistent 60fps at native 4K with maximum settings. This is surprising given the RTX 4090's power.

Fortunately, enabling DLSS 3 Frame Generation with DLAA reportedly boosts frame rates above 80fps consistently. DLSS 3 uses AI to generate extra frames, enhancing smoothness, while DLAA is an anti-aliasing technique improving image quality without significant performance loss.

Initially released on PlayStation 5 over a year ago, Final Fantasy XVI finally arrived on PC on September 17th. The Complete Edition includes the base game and two story expansions. Before playing, compare your system specs to the recommended requirements below for optimal performance.
