Yes I know DLSS has better Image Quality - This video, and the FSR Settings recommended, was meant for those without a 40 Series Card. If you have a 40 Series 100% use DLSS with Nvidia Frame Gen. I'm keenly aware of the Image Quality delta between the two. ⚠PLEASE READ: I Forgot to Mention to DISABLE STEAM OVERLAY!

Wouldn't say so, maybe generally it has, but imo both look bad with all kinds of artefacts and for FF16, i barely was able to see a difference, only that both have same artefacts in the more noticeable places. It's a shame not even a 4090 can handle this game without that AI crap, this makes programmers lazy
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.
I think so as well - there was a time where I had to hard reset the game and then it ran like butter - there has to be a memory leak for that to happen. I also feel that there is a CPU bottleneck happening as well. There is Zero reason for any of us to do these steps in this video but here we are. Cheers my friend and thanks for the support (MH WILDS SOON!)
@@oxfordking absolutely! And thank you for the video! Appreciate your thoughtful efforts here in trying to address something we shouldn’t honestly have to mess with. MHWILDS HYPE!!!
not sure if it's a memory leak, but everytime i teleport to the hideaway my frames tank from around 90 to 35~50 if I reopen the game fps goes back to normal inside the hideaway (80~100)
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.
By the Crystal, thank you! Running a GTX 1660 Super with a Ryzen 7 5700 and only had to drop the shadows and upscaling by one. Only fix that has worked.
It's wild, man. 3080/13700k, and im getting less than 40fps at 1080P with DLSS. I usually play games on 1440/4K. How the hell did they mess up a port this badly? I mean, FF7 was rough, but this is insane.
My friend, you saved me too. I have done every step as you said and the game runs like butter now. I have a 1070 pretty old and the game runs awesome thank you so much!!!!
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
You're very welcome and I'm glad this worked out for you - I was playing the game during my livestream with terrible performance during part 1 and part 2. Off stream, I took the time to do everything I mentioned here and then the magic happened. I had to share my experience in hopes that everyone else gets the same results.
Thank you absolutely much for this guide! No longer chugging along with my 3060Ti/13700k. Combat is super smooth and towns are pleasant to be in for once!
Thank you very much. You've earned a sub, my friend. What reduced the frame time stuttering for me was: 1) Enforcing V-sync through the NVIDIA control panel. 2) Setting the in-game framerate setting: -------- to half of your monitor's refresh rate. 3) Activating quality mode on DLSS and frame generation, as I have a 40 series GPU. The stuttering persists but is significantly diminished. Disabling overlays such as GeForce Experience and Steam overlay also contributed.
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.
Thank you so much for this. I was struggling to get a stable frame rate with an I7-13700kf, 4070ti, 32 gb ram and it's running better. Before this frame get was all over the place but now it seems to stay at a locked 120fps. Used DLSS as pointed out in the pinned comment. Crazy that consumers have to fix games for the devs
I don’t think I’ve ever commented on a RU-vid video before but I swear I had to for this one. I tried everything I could possibly think of and found scouring online to no avail until I came across this video and thought “screw it why not?”. That was the best decision I made because it actually worked and my game runs SIGNIFICANTLY better than it did before being nigh unplayable. Thanks so much for the guide and being able to help!
insane how on my 12th gen i9 and 3080ti I went from 50fps on DLSS Balanced to 100fps on FSR 3 Quality + frame gen (both outputting at 4k). The game looks incredible running 100+fps, HDR, 4K and on an OLED. Never thought i would see a Square Enix game look like this
Just followed the full guide and it seems to work. Switching back to DLSS makes it look nicer of course but at the cost of 30fps. Now I can get around 60fps while streaming on the 3070. I'll probably report again tomorrow. Oh and the 30fps that I got was on the high graphical settings. Before this video I dipped into the 15-18 fps on everything low. :) I'm okay with lower graphical settings as long as the performance is decent. Heck I grew up in the psx era.
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.
@@oxfordking FSR has a noticeable ghosting for me though, it's even noticeable in your video. I prefer going DLSS with no ghosting almost same performance (I have a 4060 TI)
@@Oninyourfly This video, and the FSR Settings recommended, was meant for those without a 40 Series Card. If you have a 40 Series 100% use DLSS with Nvidia Frame Gen. I'm keenly aware of the Image Quality delta between the two. During my recording, I just went with my settings without mentioning "If you have a 40 Series Do This Instead"
@@oxfordking I have a 3070Ti and I've decided to stick with DLSS aswell, FSR looks terrible for me and still feels very inconsistent, maybe I don't have enough overhead with this gpu at 1440p 😭
Man you are just my favorite person of this year together with my favorite game FFXVI, im in love with this game and you made me enjoy it into next lvl thank you so much for this video, i really apreciate it!
This does not fix it for me. Something bizarre happens to the game after getting to Lostwing. When I fast travel back to the Hideaway, the performance is still 20-30 fps. However, when I load an older manual save (before unlocking Lostwing), I"m back to my normal 50 fps. Sadly, nothing's changed after attempting your fix. I've read it's a common problem with those that have nvidia gpus + amd cpus. My Steamdeck runs the game better, which is tragic.
Might give some of this a go for my rog ally extreme, been a total pain getting it to run on there consistently., 7800x3D + 4090 at 1440p ultra wide can struggle as well without DLSS and DRS which is mental for a game that's purely raster. Best settings for me on a 175hz monitor has been target frame rate at around half that, with DLSS and DRS plus frame gen to give the most stable performance, as much as I'm not the biggest fan of frame gen, at least it's kept it mostly smooth in the 140+fps range as apposed to going from 170fps one sec all the way down the 60-80fps which is quite jarring even with VRR. Guess I could always just stick to a 60 cap but personally found that works for me.
Holy shit, actually getting more than 60fps on fsr. I did switch back to DLSS (I can't stand fsr image quality) but I'm getting 50fps in lostwing on a 2080 compared to before i was getting around 20, fantastic, thanks.
Bro i want to ask you, is all tutorials and file download safe for your pc/laptop? Because i am anxious it is no safe for pc. And if safe what file you download? All file?
3080 PCIe user here. 2021 four core intel laptop. Fsr frame gen makes the combat go into slow motion for me. Works great in towns, but sadly unplayable due to combat issues.
Finally i found someone with the same problem with the same specs. Run "okay" in town (25-30 FPS), but when in combat, drop to 15-18 fps and basically i fight in slow mod.
change ur resolution to 1920 x 1080 & lets see any change? cuz my gtx 1080 + fsr 3 + frame generation + performance = 60fps ofc in fights maybe some drop but its ok
@@madmaster3d same frames at all resolutions.. some are saying memory leak, I am thinking the same. Frame gen causes massive stutters that leads to slow mo combat.
@@dantevergil6437 I was able to replicate the Frame Gen slo motion issue. Basically any combat area with more than 5-6 enemies will cause the slow down. cpu and gpu usage shoots up to 99%, frame rate drops and everything starts moving in slow motion. The only way to counter this now is to manually turn off Frame Gen, finish the combat sequence, then turn it back on. Tedious....but all in all Frame Gen works in great in towns and exploration and terribly for large, messy combat sequences. Fighting 1-4 or so enemies in a large open area doesn't cause any slow downs and is very specific to the number of enemies.
i have an i7-7700 and a rtx 3080ti and for me the audio was bugged and couldnt play for me the fix was switching it to BORDERLESS mode if i switch it back to fullscreen mode the stutter sound bug comes back. and its gone in borderless mode. not sure whats happing behind the scenes but i got it working at least
What settings should I set my laptop. It has i7 10750h processor rtx 3070 laptop gpu 32gb of ram . It keeps freezing at the beginning during the phoniex and ifirit fight. Any help would be great
(comentário em português (br) ) Na parte do mod, coloque "true" na seção do montion blur + frame gen, isso lhe dará a opção de desligar ele no jogo, caso contrário nao tera a opção no menu. Quando você ligar o frame gen, repare que a opção de desativar o montion blur no menu irá sumir.
These settings are perfect! Thank you! I just get a little bit of ghosting though. If I turn motion blur on I can mitigate this, just a bit, but I lose a lot of performance if I turn the frame gen off (to turn the motion blur on). Edit: I did some more tests and notice that frame generation is key to maintain a consistant 60fps even with FSR with Dyn Res on. Without this option I always get frame drops.
I'm on the capital punishment chapter.. and already experiencing around 15 crash (green screen and then restart windows).. any suggestions for fixing it?
I get error in some cutscenes that makes me shutdown the game when I press okay (the operation completed successfully) , I turned off all the Overlays and sleep mdoe, but still having this problem , the only way to skip the cutscene to continue which ruined my experience. Please help.
Yes, worked like a charm here, from 28~ fps to everything maxed 80+ fps. Just one question, why my fps can't be locked at 60 (even that i set to 60) ? maybe cus i'm on borderless and 240hz monitor ? ps: didn't disabled steam overlay 12700k 2070 S 32gb ddr5
Something funny happend to me after doing all these steps. I got about +20 Fps, so big big thanks for that. BUT now when I get in combat, my game is in slow motion. playing on a 2080 super. Someone has a fix for that?
is there any setting adjustments i can use in the FFXVIFix mod to not run my gpu at 99%? with a 4070 i cant have any other programs like obs up and running without my 2nd screen lagging. Hell i cant even have chrome open without it lagging. I dropped the res down to 1080 and still running 99%. Followed this guide and it didnt fix my issue. I'd like to stream this but any app besides FF16 just lags super hard with the mod and is very jarring and sickening jumping from 160 fps down to 30 fps without the mod. Anything helps truly 13900k/4070
I have nvidia rtx geforce 3050 6gb, doing just fine with low graphic, 30 fps, no lag at all with titan fight and suddenly i cant past bahamut scene with mothercrystal one, i cant skip it too cus its not a cutscene game, should i give up 😢
14:56 when i turn on AMD frame gen game crashes and says "The Operation Completed Successfully" but it's still turned off when i restart the game need help i'm running a 3060 ti and AMD 7 5800x
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
It did make a big difference to me however I really wish I could do something about the the moving UI elements which are artifacting with FSR. It's really giivng me an eye sore and a headache. :/
The performance is way worse now, before I followed the video I could play around 30 minutes, sometimes up to 2h, before game stopped responding, now I keep getting GPU errors and game is running at like 20 fps, even worse during fights. Edit : Found the cause, it seems my pc really doesnt like frame generation for some reason =/
unfortunately this did not help. might've made fighting more choppy honestly. also now i have this weird trailing effect when characters move, idk how to get rid of it.
For future reference could you not show gameplay when its not necessary when showing the settings adjustment section. Some players would prefer not to see gameplay and go in as blind as possible. Otherwise a good and helpful video.
THERE IS MEMORY LEAK ON THIS GAME. Restart the game every 45 min or so, and set your FPS to the monitor rate in the Display and Graphics settings to avoid input lag. Aside from this the video is great and just changed the game for me. Sad there's no memory leak fix yet but the game restarts fast enough that its not a huge issue. Bad Port, Great freaking game.
Yeah I forgot to mention this video was mainly for those with anything under a 40 Series - I just went with my settings but getting some 40 Series owners in the comments talking about the poor Image quality of FSR which I'm keenly aware of but for those without a 40 Series, FSR with AMD Frame Gen is all we have for this Title. 40 Series Owners should absolutely be using DLSS with Nvidia Frame Gen.
Yes sadly, that is the major downside of Frame Gen in general at the moment - there is nothing we can do about it for now - hoping they fix the Frame Gen Tech in the near future.
This didn’t do anything for me, I gotta drop the game to 720p to even get it to play. Thanks for the video regardless hopefully others have better luck
guyz i have GTX 1080 i didnt this fix based video but this is what i did set reslution on 1920 1080 limit ur frame 60 turn on vyance turn off dynamic reslution set on performance & FSR 3 turn everything on high & on ( u can put shadow on mid ifu want ) & turn on frame generaiton i get 60fps if ur vga is better? u can set on quality or balanced instead of performance maybe even on native
Choose FSR 3 on any graphics card except if you have a RTX 40 series lmao. DLSS 3 Frame Generation works better. I hope if you have a 40 series that you would know that.
This game doesnt even look as good and hit performance hard. Like prepach DD2. Game looks not good too and hit even with FG frames like hell. I am on a tuned Ghost Spectre Windows with all tweaks and a 4090. Man devs sucks today a lot. They dont optimize games, they simly put FSR or dlss in. FG on top and live with that.
Ultra@1080p and 4090 sometimes dips under 60 FPS, DLLS/FSR= Artefacts, FG=More Artefacts. One of the worst games ever programmed and looks like a MMO, dull and has absolutely no "Wow-Effect" 10 Year old games have better graphics, From the looks i would expect good performance on GTX 900 or lower series.
