On a NVIDIA RTX 3080 (laptop, 16GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Final Fantasy XIV runs at roughly 126 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 126FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA RTX 3080 (laptop, 16GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 16GB 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 126 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 126 FPS at 1080p and 115 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 65 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Final Fantasy XIV, so textures can stay maxed. 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 | 126 | 126 |
| 1440p | 116 | 115 |
| 4K | 66 | 65 |

Use a balanced preset, keep ray tracing off for maximum FPS, and ease the heaviest options like Shadow Resolution & LOD and Grass Quality down a notch. The full per-setting breakdown is above.
FPS figures are estimates from a generalized model (hardware tier × game load × per-setting weights), not live benchmarks — real performance varies by scene, drivers and game version.
