Final Fantasy XVI's PC Port and PS5 Update Face Performance Challenges

The recent PC release and PS5 update of Final Fantasy XVI have encountered various performance issues and glitches. This article delves into the specific problems affecting both platforms.

PC Performance Bottlenecks: Even High-End Hardware Struggles

While PC gamers anticipated experiencing FFXVI's visuals at 4K/60fps, benchmarks reveal that even the powerful NVIDIA RTX 4090 struggles to maintain a consistent 60fps at native 4K with maximum settings. DSOGaming's John Papadopoulos confirms this unexpected performance limitation.

However, a solution exists. Utilizing DLSS 3 Frame Generation with DLAA reportedly boosts frame rates consistently above 80fps. DLSS 3 leverages AI to generate extra frames for smoother gameplay, while DLAA enhances image quality with minimal performance impact compared to traditional anti-aliasing.
