Put your GPU on the 1st slot, it will fix the lags.

There is a weird bug if your gpu is inside 2nd GPU slot in the motherboard it will cause this issues.

Believe me, try putting your gpu slot in the 1st slot (the closest to the CPU cooler)

And what if it's already there and you still have the issue? Your fix is not definite. Maybe your motherboard runs other slots at lower speeds and it was causing your problem and moving it to the higher speed slot fixed your problem. Unfortunately I always put my card in the highest rated slot, so my freeze/lag/fps drop in battle aren't that.

Its not a bug. The second slot is often using chipset lanes which means it doesn't have a direct connection to cpu, which means the signals have further to go, meaning its slower. Also, its possible the lower slot is a lower generation of pcie, lowering bandwidth. I was talking to somebody the other day running a 4060 ti, so already a bandwidth starved 8 lane card (as opposed to usual 16) meant for pcie 4 connections, running in a secondary slot that was pcie 2, through the chipset... and blamed it on optimization.

EDIT: And before you say, oh but I used it this way before and didn't have problems. Well..... those games probably didn't use direct-storage. That means it needs a fast connection to cpu and the m.2 slots (Yes the cpu is involved even though it wasn't in early drafts).

Anyway.... as for OP. Sorry I haven't experienced this problem. Battle is smooth for me. Usually the stutters that do happen are traversal related. If you indeed, don't have your gpu in the primary slot, put it there for sure, though I wouldn't just assume you don't. So its possibly something else. Do you have the latest drivers? Have you tried using legacy scaling instead of dlss?

What are you specs btw?

I've no issues on ultra settings with my 3070. I really don't get why people with better GPU's are having problems.

It’s more than likely your shader file, I posted a fix for it a while back. I also left it in a review I made for the game, you can look there to find the solution.

Who knows. Those with problems usually make more noise than those who don't. Human nature

My performance has been fine so far, as long as I use some upscaling (4k). My only main concern has been vram ballooning.... from 10 to 14gb But the fact that you say you have a 3070 makes me wonder, perhaps the huge vram usage ( we are talking like 14GB) is just caching data because it can (have 24gb), and is infact a feature and not a bug.

But I'm sure others with 3070s would say different so who knows. I mean computers are complex systems and there's a lot of variables. There's lots of ways performance can get messed up. And considering this game is so cinematic, and because of that, the gpu needs to be fed so rapidly, I can see that bringing up issues not previously seen in other games. (like the gpu in the wrong slot issue I encountered with someone the other day and also Pedrosa mentioned something similar). If you only had one gpu, no idea why you'd put it anywhere but the top slot but I guess thats a thing that happens.

I do have also a 3070 and the performance is quite good, yet I do need to use mods

that for the cutscenes: https://www.nexusmods.com/finalfantasy16/mods/6
that for the battle (as you say): https://www.nexusmods.com/finalfantasy16/mods/7
that for the colors: https://www.nexusmods.com/finalfantasy16/mods/1

it lags just a bit sometimes during combat, only a little bit :: I do have everything at max playing at 1440p
