Final Fantasy XVI's recent PC launch, alongside its PS5 update, has unfortunately been plagued by performance hiccups and visual 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 this. DSOGaming's John Papadopoulos reports difficulty maintaining a stable 60fps at native 4K with maximum settings.
However, a potential solution exists. Enabling DLSS 3 Frame Generation with DLAA reportedly boosts frame rates beyond 80fps. DLSS 3 utilizes AI to generate additional frames for smoother gameplay, while DLAA enhances image quality with minimal performance impact.
