Final Fantasy 12 on PC delivers 60fps - but system requirements are high

Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age finally arrives on PC, bringing with it the ability to run at native 4K resolution at 60 frames per-second.

Just poor optimization

This is a cleaned up edition of a freaking PS2 title ...
It looks a lot better than the original ... but it's not actually a looker.

Any half-decent rig should be able to run this thing at 60, max settings, and that's speaking at 4K.
Hell ... my admittedly aging sli680s/i5 build runs far more impressive looking games at 1440p. Top end tech should be crushing games like this.

my 1060gtx 6gb oc cant run it at 60 fps. i can get 4k tho. cutscenes also lag sometimes. yea i canm run newer titles at 4k 60 on this card.... weird. def poor optimisation

The 1060 is not a 4K card. Even the 1080ti can't always do 4K at a locked 60 fps. That is just a crap-ton of pixels per second. (To put it another way, the 1060 gets better performance at 1080p than the 1080ti does at 4K. There's a DF video on that too.) You should be able to do 60 fps at a more reasonable 1080p, or even 1440p, with your lovely 6GB 1060. (Watch the video past the 8-minute mark.)

Okay but that still doesn’t change the fact that gtx 1060 should EASILY do 4K 60fps on a remastered ps2 title. Hell, the Ps4 pro with its underclocked RX 480 hands in a native 4K 60fps in the kingdom hearts 1.5 and 2.5 collection. This is not a remade game. Even weaker hardware than the 1060 should be able to handle 4K on this game with no problems.

You’re also not accounting for the fact that not all new titles are super high end look at me. There are plenty of modest looking titles or small budget titles or lower end indie titles. There’s plenty of current gen stuff a 1060 can run at 4K. Hell, the ps4 pro again does native 4K 60fps in all these sports games that have released since it came out and those clearly are way more technically advanced than Final Fantasy 12
