On a NVIDIA GTX 1070 (laptop, 8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Final Fantasy XVI runs at roughly 63 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 33FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1070 (laptop, 8GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Final Fantasy XVI is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 63 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 33 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 63 FPS at 1080p and 47 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 27 FPS at 4K.
