New Report: FF16 PC Test Reveals Bottlenecks Even with Advanced Graphic Cards

Final Fantasy XVI's PC launch, alongside a PS5 update, has unfortunately been plagued by performance hiccups and glitches. Let's delve into the specific issues affecting both platforms.

FFXVI PC: Performance Bottlenecks, Even on High-End Hardware

While developer Naoki Yoshida recently requested fans to avoid creating offensive or inappropriate PC mods, the game's performance itself is a significant concern. Even the mighty NVIDIA RTX 4090 struggles to maintain a consistent 60fps at native 4K resolution with maximum settings, according to DSOGaming's John Papadopoulos. This is unexpected given the RTX 4090's reputation as a top-tier graphics card.

However, there's a potential solution. Utilizing DLSS 3 Frame Generation with DLAA can reportedly boost frame rates beyond 80fps. DLSS 3 leverages AI to generate additional 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 includes the base game and its two story expansions. Before embarking on your adventure, ensure your system meets the minimum or recommended specifications to avoid a subpar experience.
