On a Intel HD 630 (7th Gen) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Final Fantasy XIV runs at roughly 24 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 10FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel HD 630 (7th Gen) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Final Fantasy XIV is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 24 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 10 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 24 FPS at 1080p and 14 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 8 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS

Final Fantasy XIV added DLSS and FSR upscaling in the Dawntrail update. A free boost, especially helpful in crowded hubs.

Shadow Resolution & LODLow+10% FPS

Shadow sharpness and draw distance - the heaviest GPU setting. High is the value pick over Max.

Grass QualityLow+7% FPS

Grass density in the field zones. A real cost outdoors; Medium is a clean trade.

Water RefractionOff+5% FPS

Reflection and refraction detail on water. Standard is plenty.

Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS

Soft contact shadows for depth. Light is a cheap, good-looking option.

TessellationOff+4% FPS

Adds rounded 3D detail to surfaces. A small saving when off.

Parallax OcclusionOff+4% FPS

Fake depth on flat surfaces like stone floors. Normal is plenty.

GlareOff+3% FPS

Bloom and light glare. Cheap; set to taste.

Anti-AliasingOff+3% FPS

Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap.

Texture DetailMax-1% FPS

Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM. High or Max is fine on modern cards.
