Hmm, I've seen this before, try enabling "Use NVIDIA colour settings" in the NVIDIA Control Panel.
Really? It functions outside of steam as a mouse cursor and keyboard? That's cool. When did that get added?
It literally costs me 15fps, I can't get out of the 30s with it on even with a titan
I guess the real question is what resolution and are you running at and are your setting comparable? Are all Gameworks Effects on? Are all other settings maxed out?
Just woke up and start unpacking.
How's the overall performance compared to the demo for everyone? Is it more or less the same?
Is PS4 Pro quality mode using checkerboard technique?

Damn, that's what I'd call a generation leap.

That's at 4k, lighting and and shadows on high, everything else at highest. Turning hairworks on or off doesn't seem to make a difference, not sure if you need to restart the game for that..
It's hovering around 50 fps with VXAO off
Have you turned AA off? I find it redundant in most 4k games. Saves quite a bit of fps too.
(waiting for my download to finish. My 1080ti did well for the demo so I'm hoping it'll be the same)
Yeah, after doing the tutorial stuff I got a couple minutes into the opening with pushing the car before it crashed.
I need to play with the settings some, where I have them is too much for my 1070 (OC'D 2.1GHz) and poor old OC'd to 4.5GHz 2500K, first step will probably be turning off Turf Effects. Or maybe drop the frame rate down to 30.
EDIT: Just crashed again just before I think gaining control of Noctis after finishing pushing the car, even made AIDA64 crash too... That's a first.

I assume the other user you were responding to wasn't running the game at 4K on GTX1080. I think folks giving performance impressions need to actually list the resolution and settings they are running at along with the CPU and GPU they are using (this is more of a general statement so that people don't get confused by non-equivalent performance metrics). Anyway, a 15fps impact does make since for a feature like VXAO though.
is this only happening to me? WHERE IS THE SEA
If I see this in my game, I'm done until some patches.
Hairworks definitely isn't on the main characters, SE probably has their own hair stuff they can't reasonably replace. It's just on random fuzzy creatures. I should see if it's on Carbuncle...
I'm gonna have to restart but first, anyone else download the stuff off the workshop? The Cactuar suit was on all the NPCs in the cars that drive by and apparently all NPCs, I assume that's not intentional... Gonna remove those.
What? You can't toggle that functionality? That's strange.
Not sure yet but it's apparently on all NPCs and the only option is to unsubscribe.
Questions like this are extremely vague. It might be easier if you gave a desired resolution and frame-rate.
Verifying my game cache stopped the crashing upon load, so I'm fully up to speed now with everything maxed.
Tip for folks: if your game looks really blurry, like someone smeared Vaseline all over it, try disabling then we-enabling motion blur. Did the trick for me.
Also a question for folks with Gsync: did you have to turn on windowed Gsync for this? Doesn't seem like the game is true fullscreen even though it's supposed to be.

Yup only way it seems. Was disappointed about that. Thought Noctis and company would be able to wear them.
VXAO is a 10 fps hit for me (7700k, 1080 ti), from 60 to 50 fps. I did not even max out the resolution percentage (175%) and play in 1080p.
Edit: some extra info for reference
- All GameWorks effects enable
- Turn off motion blur
- TXAA
- My rig has 32 gb ram
- Game is installed in normal HDD instead of SSD
- No overclock

Had the similar issue. Solved it by reducing ambient occlusion to average.
Can anyone with similar specs to mine comment on how the game runs on high at 2560x1440:
GTX 1070
i7 6700HQ
32GB DDR4 Ram
Much appreciated.

Does the demo activates VXAO when is set to 1 in the .ini file?
The game runs far worse than the demo for me like 10fps worse O_o
I simply don't understand why.

do you still have to set HDR from windows first because its stupid or can you now toggle in game?
I asked a couple pages back and the answer was yes, which is disappointing
I have a 1070/7700K and half as much RAM and the game runs ~60fps (I have it capped at 60 and it occasionally dips to the high 50s) with almost everything on high and at 1440p. Only stuff I have turned off are the Nvidia hairworks/grass/shadow toggles.
For some reason, FFXV doesn't have an exclusive fullscreen option, only 2 options: windowed, and borderless windowed mislabeled as 'Fullscreen'. It was the same in the benchmark and the demo.
Ishiro Can this information be added to the OP?
Looks amazing, quite happy with the performance as well. Did a mistake by playing the first 20 minutes with VXAO. Don't want to turn it off now :(
Well it does need Steam in the background. I think DS4 and Xbox controllers have had custom configuration support for near a year now. Can setup desktop bindings, per game bindings, BPM bindings, and universal bindings that are active whenever you hold the home button (center one). And there is all sorts of things to bind, and you can put multiple functions per button, and have certain ones activate depending on how you click the button. And those are just basic features.
I don't think any other programs for controllers anywhere else offer as much as Steam Input does.
My bad, stupid question in retrospect. Id prefer to run at 1440p at as close to 60 as possible with all the bells and whistles.
with a gtx1070, im able to use the hd texture pack?
CPU 4670k 4.0Ghz
12GB RAM DDR3
want to play this only in 1080p and 60fps

What resolution? I have colour issues if I try playing @1440p with all PC games (my desktop is 4K). I don't have FFXV yet but am thinking about it.
HEADS UP ON AO:
The effect of VXAO and Normal AO stack. Having both on at the same time, or one on and the other off has a noticeable quality difference (though its a little weird, you'll see in a minute.
Will get a comparison up in a second.

Glad I'm not the only one, I think the game does something weird with the fullscreen mode that can mess up certain monitors. If you turn your monitor off and back on it will be normal. Then it may go to those crazy colors when you close the game or if you alt + enter to go windowed. Then you can turn it back off/on to make it normal. No idea what it may indicate, I thought it might be my monitor isn't in the best condition since I recently had it fixed, its power supply related stuff were all replaced since they got borked. Old LG 1080p monitor, 22EA53, with a GTX1080. If you take a screenshot the game looks normal which is why you had to take a photo. Hopefully this doesn't indicate the monitor is dying again. It only happens with FFXV so far, no other game switching between fullscreen/windowed/borderless has triggered it for me as of now so hopefully not. I haven't tried connecting it with DVI-D instead of HDMI to see if it makes a difference.

No wonder. My PC microstutters with windowed mode. Is there a way to force FFXV to run in fullscreen mode?
Does Ambient Occlusion look like ass for anyone else?
Best example is the shop in Hammerhead. The items on the wall look awful with AO set to highest. It's like shadows or something are all blurry/pixelated. It's hard to describe. With AO off the problem goes away completely but everything looks too "clean" or sterilized.
Here are some example images:
AO off:
AO on highest:
The second one especially looks bad in motion.

1080p at 75% rendering resolution, this solved it for me
Yes taking a screenshot it looks normal
You should be able to achieve the above fine with everything set to highest, but have all Gameworks Effects turned off. Once you start introducing Gameworks Effects, this becomes harder to nail down. I would honestly see what running the game like with All Gameworks effects on and see if you can live with the framerate fluctuations during battle. If they are too high, I would suggest turning off VXAO, then Shadow Libs, then Hairworks. I would be surprised you couldn't hit a mostly solid 60fps at 1440p on highest settings with at least one Gameworks effect on (barring VXAO...this one will be the hardest hitter).
Well, if VXAO does its job properly then we shouldn't need to have the regular implementation turned on at all right? Unless VXAO only applies to static objects?
