FF16's PC Port Struggles to Max Out Even with a RTX 4090

Final Fantasy XVI's recent PC launch, alongside a PS5 update, has unfortunately been plagued by performance hiccups and glitches. This article delves into the specific performance problems affecting 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 deliver 60fps at native 4K with maximum settings. This is a significant surprise given the RTX 4090's reputation as a top-tier graphics card.

DSOGaming's John Papadopoulos highlights the difficulty in maintaining a smooth 60fps at 4K max settings. However, a potential solution exists: enabling DLSS 3 Frame Generation with DLAA can reportedly boost frame rates beyond 80fps. DLSS 3 leverages AI to generate extra frames for smoother gameplay, while DLAA is an anti-aliasing technique improving image quality with minimal performance impact.

Arriving on PC on September 17th, over a year after its PS5 debut, the Complete Edition includes the base game and its two story expansions. Before embarking on your adventure, compare your system's specifications to the recommended requirements below to ensure a smooth gaming experience.
