Graphics card (GPU)
Main limit
60 FPS at 1080p needs about a GTX 1660 Super or RX 6600; a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT averages about 58 FPS.
Processor (CPU)
No measured limit
FINAL FANTASY XV WINDOWS EDITION recommends an FX-8350 or equivalent; a Ryzen 5 3600 or anything faster clears that. We have no measured processor limit for FINAL FANTASY XV WINDOWS EDITION, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.
Video memory (VRAM)
6 GB (rec. spec)
The recommended spec lists 6 GB of video memory. On a card with less, lower texture quality first: running out of video memory shows up as stutter or blurry textures, not as a lower average.
Settings to lower first in FINAL FANTASY XV WINDOWS EDITION
- 1Resolution or render scale, or upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS) where FINAL FANTASY XV WINDOWS EDITION offers it. Rendering fewer pixels is the biggest single saving.
- 2Then shadows, volumetric effects (fog, clouds, lighting) and ambient occlusion: in most games these cost the most frame rate for the least visible difference.
- 3Texture quality only if your card has less than 6 GB of video memory. With enough memory, textures cost little frame rate, so keep them high.
