FF16 PC Port Faces Optimization Issues Despite RTX 4090

Final Fantasy XVI's PC port, released alongside a PS5 update, has encountered significant performance hurdles and glitches. This article delves into the specific performance issues affecting both the PC and PS5 versions.

FFXVI PC Performance: Even High-End Hardware Stumbles

Even top-tier graphics cards struggle to maintain optimal performance in FFXVI on PC. While many anticipated a smooth 4K/60fps experience, benchmarks reveal this isn't consistently achievable, even with the powerful NVIDIA RTX 4090. DSOGaming's John Papadopoulos reported difficulty maintaining a steady 60fps at native 4K with maximum settings.

However, utilizing DLSS 3 Frame Generation with DLAA can reportedly boost frame rates significantly, often exceeding 80fps. This combination leverages NVIDIA's AI-powered frame generation and anti-aliasing techniques to enhance performance and visual fidelity.

Released on September 17th, the PC Complete Edition includes the main game and its two story expansions. Before launching the game, ensure your system meets the minimum or recommended specifications to avoid performance issues. The tables below detail these requirements.
