You are such a fucking legend dude. I thought it was unplayable with my 1660TI. You saved my life, I’ve been dying to play this game ever since it was announced. Thank you SO much. You earned my sub.

I followed every single step and didnt help at all.
1440p rtx4070 r5600x 32gb ddr4 nvme m2 ssd

Fsr looks so bad, it makes everything super pixelated, especially on areas with alot of grass.
Nvdia Dlss looks better and runs better, but the game is still runing extremely poor, regardless of what upscaler.

I set this FF16 port on the same level of early cash grab as Dragons Dogma 2. They optimized the first 2-4 hours of gameplay so nobody can refund it.

Do NOT do this lmao

If you’re going to install drivers do not use a third party program, only use from the source (Nvidia or AMD in this case)

Great video dude! I’m really happy that your tips actually fixed the game for me.

Okay, now the game says it’s not compatible with my GPU… when I was more than halfway through the game (with terrible performance)

Can this work for a steam deck oled?

Cartoon ish graphics awesome 🙄

the high-performance option is the same steps on win10 otherwise you can maybe put the whole computer in high-performce power option in control panel but dont know what the outcome will be in the game

Video came at a good time honestly.

Ryzen 9 and an RTX 3080, where I was getting 25 FPS in both Lostwing and the Hideaway (Pre-Titan).

Reinstalling the drivers and forcing a recompile got it back up to the 70-90 FPS range with DLSS on and a 4K 120hz TV. Something other folks have been recommending have been to upgrade the version of DLSS that FF16 uses (also available on TechPowerUp).

I do genuinely believe there’s a memory leak somewhere in the game though. Specifically using the Lostwing fast travel point–but I can’t seem to replicate this.

What a waste of fking time when there are 700 other videos that say the exact same shit. Anyone who has ever decided to boost performance for any game on pc, has already done all of this. I’m so tired of EVERY video about fixing performance being mostly about reinstalling drivers. Uh duh.

I’m on a rtx 2060 with 6GB and this actually keeps me at a 60fps, you are the only guide that’s actually helped. i don’t know what did it but thank you so much

Good guide, I’ve done most of this escept for the fresh Nvidia install, going to try that now. I also noticed that FSR3 works better than DLSS. My only thing is you can’t seem to get HDR on borderless so need to use fullscreen.

For reference I’m on a 4070 super playing at 4k.
