Final Fantasy XVI PC Port Performance and PS5 Glitches: A Detailed Look
Final Fantasy XVI's recent PC launch and PS5 update have unfortunately been plagued by performance issues and glitches. Let's delve into the specific problems affecting both platforms.
FFXVI PC Performance: Even High-End Hardware Struggles
While PC players anticipated experiencing the game's graphical prowess at 4K/60fps, benchmarks reveal this isn't easily achieved, even with the powerful RTX 4090. DSOGaming's John Papadopoulos reports maintaining a consistent 60fps at native 4K with maximum settings proves challenging.
However, there's a potential solution. Utilizing DLSS 3 Frame Generation alongside DLAA can reportedly boost frame rates significantly, often exceeding 80fps. DLSS 3's AI-powered frame generation enhances smoothness, while DLAA improves image quality with minimal performance impact compared to traditional anti-aliasing.
PS5 Version: Graphical Glitches Reported
While the PC port faces performance hurdles, the PS5 version is experiencing its own set of issues—graphical glitches. While specific details on the nature and frequency of these glitches aren't readily available in this excerpt, it's clear that the PS5 release isn't entirely free of problems.
