Still, it's worth jumping through all these hoops if you can – FFXV has truly never looked better.Įnemies won’t wait for you to take a turn, so you’ll get attacked while planning your next move. How does 155GB (if you download the hi-res texture pack) sound? Installing to an SSD is a good idea, because it mitigates a lot of unnecessary load time and helps with general memory based lag and juddering – but you'll need a huge amount of space. Expect around 30fps unless you have multiple cards, or are willing to drop down from 4K.
In fact, cranking things up to an eye-pleasing 4K resolution and the highest detail settings will take some serious doing: an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 wasn't enough grunt to handle the pixel punishment being dished out by Noctis and friends. That might sound technical, but essentially it means more realistic hair, grass, shadows and water – although each one comes with its own performance hit. There's a whole load to choose from, including Turf Effects, HairWorks, Voxel Ambient Occlusion, ShadowWorks and Flow technologies. There's no doubt FFXV looks fantastic running on PC, expecially with all of Nvidia's GameWorks effects turned on. It took a while, but Final Fantasy XV finally found its way from consoles to computers – so naturally we choked the life out of our gaming rig to see what it takes to deliver the true visual grandeur Square Enix had promised patient players.
