Final Fantasy XVI's recent PC launch, alongside its PS5 update, has unfortunately been plagued by performance hiccups and glitches. This article delves into the specific performance problems impacting both platforms.
FFXVI PC Performance: A High-End Struggle
While PC gamers anticipated a visually stunning 4K/60fps experience, benchmarks reveal that even the mighty NVIDIA RTX 4090 struggles to consistently maintain 60fps at native 4K with maximum settings. This is a surprising revelation given the RTX 4090's leading position in the consumer GPU market.
DSOGaming's John Papadopoulos highlights the difficulty in achieving a stable 60fps at 4K max 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 additional frames for smoother gameplay, while DLAA enhances image quality through anti-aliasing without significant performance penalties.
Arriving on PC on September 17th, after its PlayStation 5 debut over a year prior, the Complete Edition bundles the main game with its "Echoes of the Fallen" and "The Rising Tide" expansions. Before embarking on your adventure, ensure your system meets the minimum or recommended specifications for optimal performance.
