Does this game have similar performance issues as XVI?

[Bladetastic]

Genuine question. I don't own a PS5 so I've been patient enough to wait for the eventual PC ports for both this game and FFXVI. As someone who experienced the poor PC Port of XVI, I'm just worried that this game also holds the same fate for me.

Keep in mind I put XVI at the lowest settings possible and even reducing the resolution to 720p and it still had poor performance (the game was just that poorly optimized), something I don't get in any other high-demand game in my library (Cyberpunk, Baldur's Gate etc.), so if this port is just good enough then I won't be worried about wasting my money on a game I can't play.

whenever you ask a performance related question, NO ONE CAN HELP YOU IF YOU DON'T INCLUDE YOUR SYSTEM SPEC!!!!!!!!

let me ask you, does SE ever make a proper optimized games?

Genuine apologies!! It crossed my mind and I forgot to post it.

I mean tbh Dragon Quest XI played flawlessly on my previous specs even at max graphics and so did Octopath Traveller 2, but I guess that's a given.

With that spec, I expect performance will be compromise in all newer games not just this one.

This game runs pretty well on modern hardware, with the exception of ingame frame limiter and vsync being atrocious which you can easily work around by turning them off and force driver level limiters and vsync.

One thing to note is that this game uses direct storage. Which means the speed of your ssd will play a big part on performance specifically the "stuttering" department. I'm on a 5000r/w nvme ssd and experience no stutters.

Based on my understanding from watching performance videos of XVI (and the system requirements), a 3050 will most likely struggle even on low settings because it (from my understanding) is not as powerful as a 2060, which is the GPU listed under the minimum requirements. However, Rebirth is, from what I can tell, less demanding (played Rebirth 20 hours / haven't played XVI).

You can always try it and refund it if necessary. I'm with you, though, you shouldn't feel obligated to continually upgrade because some AAA games are not optimized.

I'm fine with compromises, tbh. With most newer games I'm fine with running it below very high graphics, as long as the game looks good and plays well. The reason I even asked the question to begin with is because XVI ran awfully no matter what settings I chose, so I was worried that this game had the same issues.

But I assume that the engine used for this game is entirely different as well (or at least I believe so) which would also make me less worried.

Yeah I unfortunately fell for the bait hook line and sinker when I bought the 3050, believing it would be a step up from my old 1060 (which it is, but barely any genuine improvements outside of also having built in DLSS and stuff).

Saving up for a mid-high setup in the future, so this will have to do for now, sadly. Also I haven't bought this game yet, which is also why I initially wanted to make this discussion to begin with.

Regardless, I appreciate the answers. I'll wait for now until I upgrade my PC before I buy this game!

[defnotj4]

yeah different engine, different team, different set of issues.

i believe steam still has a no questions asked refund policy if you play less then two hours, so it won't hurt to try it out.

everything besides your GPU is good for a reasonable 60fps lock, wouldn't hurt to try it out and see if some aggressive DLSS action gets you somewhere you like

Shorts answer, ff7 Rebirth IS running better for me then ff16 and IT IS looking better.
I can Run ff16 maxed Out with 140 FPS and Rebirth with 110 AVG FPS but ff7 Just feels smoother for me If controlling the Charakter but this IS angame Design and have nothing to do with Performance

[Vergil]

Different games and such but XVI runs a lot better than FFVII remake/rebirth but I feel as if A LOT of that has to deal with shader stuttering with Unreal engine.

If you have the hardware XVI runs great, regardless of hardware FFVII just lags most of the time.

[goodbye_bonito]

In my case and on the same hardware, XVI was way way more problematic

if youre gaming at 720p or 1080p ultra low then the game might be playable for you. you have a really old CPU your GPU doesnt have enough VRAM and im guessing you have slow ram SPEED

Don't feel bad. The reality is that a 3050 SHOULD be able to play AAA games at low settings @1080p for at least 3-5 years. I'm at the point where I feel obligated now to purchase the highest end desktop PC or laptop within a year or so, but only because I love PC gaming.

More and more people are going to be priced out when it comes to just playing AAA games on PC @1080p.

[Tiberius]

no, this is much less demanding than ff16
