Best Final Fantasy XVI settings for the NVIDIA RTX 3060 (12GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 3060 (12GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Final Fantasy XVI runs at roughly 76 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 56FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 3060 (12GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 12GB of VRAM, and Final Fantasy XVI is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 76 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 56 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 76 FPS at 1080p and 61 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 45 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Upscaling — DLSSQuality+35% FPS
Final Fantasy XVI supports DLSS, FSR and dynamic resolution. The biggest single FPS lever in the demanding Eikon battles.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is a clean trade.
Graphical FidelityHighbaseline
Mesh/polygon density on characters, structures and environment. Medium is a solid saving in the huge Eikon fights.
Clutter DensityHighbaseline
Density of small props and ground clutter. A cheap trim with little visible loss.
NPC QuantityHighbaseline
How many background NPCs populate towns - partly CPU-bound. Medium is fine.
Water QualityHighbaseline
Detail of water surfaces and reflections. Medium is plenty.
Screen Space ReflectionOnbaseline
On-screen reflections - one of the highest-impact settings on weaker GPUs. Off is a solid gain.
Ambient OcclusionOnbaseline
Soft contact shadows - high impact on lower-end GPUs. Off for a real gain there.
TexturesHighbaseline
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
