Final Fantasy XV - The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Founders Edition Review: Mid-Range Turing, High-End P

Final Fantasy XV (DX11)

Upon arriving to PC earlier this, Final Fantasy XV: Windows Edition was given a graphical overhaul as it was ported over from console, fruits of their successful partnership with NVIDIA, with hardly any hint of the troubles during Final Fantasy XV's original production and development.

In preparation for the launch, Square Enix opted to release a standalone benchmark that they have since updated. Using the Final Fantasy XV standalone benchmark gives us a lengthy standardized sequence to utilize OCAT. Upon release, the standalone benchmark received criticism for performance issues and general bugginess, as well as confusing graphical presets and performance measurement by 'score'. In its original iteration, the graphical settings could not be adjusted, leaving the user to the presets that were tied to resolution and hidden settings such as GameWorks features.

Since then, Square Enix has patched the benchmark with custom graphics settings and bugfixes to be much more accurate in profiling in-game performance and graphical options, though leaving the 'score' measurement. For our testing, we enable or adjust settings to the highest except for NVIDIA-specific features and 'Model LOD', the latter of which is left at standard. Final Fantasy XV also supports HDR, and it will support DLSS at some date.

NVIDIA, of course, is working closely with Square Enix, and the game is naturally expected to run well on NVIDIA cards in general. For the RTX 2070, 4K and 1440p performance once agani settles near the GTX 1080. The RTX Founders Edition tweaks do add a bit more cushion, though not to extent that it helps the RTX 2080 score a win out of a tie against the 1080 Ti.
