Best Final Fantasy XIV settings for the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), Final Fantasy XIV runs at roughly 116 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 118FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti is a high-end graphics card with 12GB of VRAM, and Final Fantasy XIV is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs great at 4K — about 116 FPS with 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 177 FPS at 1080p and 177 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 116 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	177	177
1440p	177	177
4K	118	116

Upscaling — DLSSOff

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

Texture DetailMax-1% FPS

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

Shadow Resolution & LODHighbaseline

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

Grass QualityMediumbaseline

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

Water RefractionStandardbaseline

Reflection and refraction detail on water. Standard is plenty.

Ambient OcclusionLightbaseline

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

TessellationOnbaseline

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

Parallax OcclusionNormalbaseline

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

GlareNormalbaseline

Bloom and light glare. Cheap; set to taste.

Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline

Edge smoothing. TAA is clean and cheap.
