Best Final Fantasy XIV settings for the AMD RX 9070 XT (2026)

On a AMD RX 9070 XT (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), Final Fantasy XIV runs at roughly 131 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 132FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 9070 XT is a high-end graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and Final Fantasy XIV is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it flies at 4K — about 131 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 177 FPS at 1080p and 177 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 131 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Final Fantasy XIV, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Upscaling — FSROff
Final Fantasy XIV added DLSS and FSR upscaling in the Dawntrail update. A free boost, especially helpful in crowded hubs.
Texture DetailMax-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM. High or Max is fine on modern cards.
Shadow Resolution & LODHighbaseline
Shadow sharpness and draw distance - the heaviest GPU setting. High is the value pick over Max.
Grass QualityMediumbaseline
Grass density in the field zones. A real cost outdoors; Medium is a clean trade.
Water RefractionStandardbaseline

Ambient OcclusionLightbaseline
Soft contact shadows for depth. Light is a cheap, good-looking option.
TessellationOnbaseline
Adds rounded 3D detail to surfaces. A small saving when off.
Parallax OcclusionNormalbaseline
Fake depth on flat surfaces like stone floors. Normal is plenty.
GlareNormalbaseline
Bloom and light glare. Cheap; set to taste.
Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline
Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap.
