Final Fantasy XVI PC Port Faces Performance Challenges, PS5 Version Experiences Glitches
Final Fantasy XVI's recent PC launch and PS5 update have been met with reports of performance issues and glitches. This article delves into the specific problems impacting both platforms.
FFXVI PC: Performance Bottlenecks Even on High-End Hardware
While developer Square Enix recently requested players avoid creating offensive or inappropriate mods, the game's PC port is facing more significant challenges. Even the powerful NVIDIA RTX 4090 struggles to maintain a consistent 60fps at native 4K resolution with maximum settings, according to DSOGaming's John Papadopoulos.
However, utilizing DLSS 3 Frame Generation with DLAA can reportedly boost frame rates above 80fps. DLSS 3 leverages AI to generate additional frames for smoother gameplay, while DLAA enhances image quality through anti-aliasing.
Arriving on PC on September 17th, the Complete Edition bundles the base game with expansions "Echoes of the Fallen" and "The Rising Tide." Before launching the game, players should verify their system meets the minimum or recommended specifications to ensure optimal performance.
