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

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

Just yesterday, Final Fantasy 16’s Naoki Yoshida politely requested fans to avoid creating "offensive or inappropriate" modifications on PC. However, modifications appear to be the least of their concerns, as even the most potent graphics cards seem to be struggling to meet Final Fantasy 16’s PC demands. While PC gamers were excitedly anticipating experiencing the game in all its graphical splendor at 4K resolution and 60 fps, recent benchmarks suggest that this may not be attainable even with the top-tier NVIDIA RTX 4090 graphics card.

According to John Papadopoulos of DSOGaming, maintaining a consistent 60 fps at native 4K resolution with maximum settings seems to be a challenge for Final Fantasy 16 on PC. This is unexpected news given the RTX 4090 is one of the most powerful consumer graphics cards available.

However, there is a ray of hope for PC players. Activating DLSS 3 Frame Generation with DLAA can supposedly increase frame rates above 80 fps consistently. DLSS 3 is a novel technology from NVIDIA that utilizes AI to generate extra frames, effectively resulting in smoother gameplay. DLAA, conversely, is an anti-aliasing technique that can enhance image quality without significantly compromising performance compared to traditional anti-aliasing methods.
