The best Black Friday deals to get Final Fantasy XVI. Take the opportunity to get the game at a discount.
According to these new benchmark reports, Final Fantasy 16 can’t deliver 60 FPS while running native 4K resolution.
That's honestly a good explanation, Square-Enix is notoriously bad for PC ports, even amongst Japanese developers. I don't think they ever fixed the Nier Automata, or World of Final Fantasy. I think they eventually did fix Chrono Trigger, but that was 2 or 3 years after release.
It was like this with Alan wake 2 DLSS is a life saver, I can imagine the 5090 without DLSS will give you the same performance of a 4090 with DLSS
Square Enix REALLY needs to just find a solid company to outsource these PC ports... They are just butchering their own releases on PC and it's very sad to see.
Yeah i strugged on a 3090ti (i have a stupid 49in ultrawide). But what was interesting, changing the settings and resolution made little difference. Just a poor port.
But tbh I found the 75% of the demo being cutscenes harder to get through than the performance (but im not a FF guy).
there's UW mod out there, it fixes a bunch of other performance issues too.
Google FFXVIFix by Lyall.
i had the same issue as did my daughter on her 3070 rig, but if you install the mod dlssg-to-fsr3-0.100 (Universal) Which tricks games and your nvidia driver to run in unsigned mode and so it thinks its a 40 series card and so you can use frame gen and fsr3 it makes the game perform much better. Granted we should not need to do this but this mod works on near enough any game and can duble your frame rate. I can run the game at 144fps and my daughters its 120fps witjh the mod.
You can also get a mod which unlocks the cutscenes so they run at 60 vs the official game setting of 30fps..
Square need to fix up! i want to double dip as loved the game on my PS5 but sadly it killed my launch ps5.
Too scared to play it on my current ps5. So pc would be perfect..google the name of the mod
But it also drops below 60 from time to time, particularly in the most demanding sections, its not locked.
Which is literally what the article says
no, it fluctuated from 50-70. Which, at native 4K isn't all that bad. Compared to what we get with consoles.
Final Fantasy XVI Complete Edition, thankfully, sticks the landing with all the elegance of an Imperial Dragoon.
Final Fantasy XVI is out on Steam and Epic Games after a year-long exclusive reign on the PS5. We already tested the demo but weren’t satisfied with the range of environments available. And so, with the full release, we have tested Square Enix’s latest title across three different maps for a comprehensive optimization guide.
