On a NVIDIA RTX 2070 (laptop, 8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Final Fantasy XIV runs at roughly 123 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 125FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA RTX 2070 (laptop, 8GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Final Fantasy XIV is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it flies at 1080p — about 123 FPSwith 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 123 FPS at 1080p and 74 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 65 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 125 | 123 |
| 1440p | 75 | 74 |
| 4K | 42 | 65 |
