Which of these is the better solution?


I'm still new to gaming on a PC, so I'm not sure which should work better in the long run

The game is FF XV

My specs are:

Ryzen 5 2600X (6x 3.6 GHz)
GTX 1660 Super (6GB)
16 GB RAM

Surely there are graphical settings you can lower.

Always put shadows on low. That shit is pointless.

Yeah ffxv on pc is really spotty. Apparently even beefy setups cant even make the game run well or consistently.

Is FFXV the Crysis of our times?

I didn't think of that

I'll try lowering stuff like shadows and reflections down. Have to take care of some stuff, but I will report back with results!

FFXV isn't exactly a reflex intensive game so I'd keep it on 1080P and see where you can make compromises graphically

Why do you even want more than 30 FPS, that's the cinematic number

The eye gets too much credit here. The eye is like a lens or something, it doesn't do any processing of that kind. The phenomenon of perception of motion with multiple still images is actually psychological. It's related to a concept called persistence of vision.

That's a relief, since I was informed my build should be able to run most games at 1080p/60fps

I changed some stuff. Lighting, shadows, geomapping. So far it's been running a lot smoother!

As far as I know Square Enix ports for their recent games on pc is kinda ass. I wanted to play thru Nier Automata but even with the mod to improve performance it was too painful to play thru

Between those two, drop resolution to maintain framerate.

However, the first thing you should always lower to get huge FPS boosts is shadow quality. Most games have nearly no visual difference between their max and high settings but often cause 10+ FPS differences. Between high and medium in most games often have noticeable but perfectly bearable visual differences, and still more FPS gains.

Turning off ambient occlusion also helped a lot

AO is one thing I'd sacrifice more resolution or standard shadow quality for. It adds an absolutely massive amount of believability to the world's lighting for relatively little performance hit (relative being compared to something like full ray tracing that would give a similar effect)
