Best Graphics Card for Performance?

Ok let me break some of the complain and whining monotony in these forums and ask for some assistance.

Im curious to know what's people's best card to run FFXIV at Maximum Graphics Settings and consistent top performance?

I currently have a Radeon RX 570 for this game and would like to know whats some better options at a reasonable price? Thanks!

even a gtx 780 can run this game at maximum settings 1080p
from there on it depends whether you wanna go higher framerate and/or resolution
currently running a 3080 and I run the game maxed out at 1440p at like 250fps

It depends how much money you want to spend. :) If you have 2k $ available then you have way more options. :)


cheers

I see! I suppose I should say Im going for around the 350-400$ range. I realize there may be not many good options out there but still curious to know compared to what I have. c:

Ive been looking for a good gpu for a year now good luck

You could buy an Nvidia RTX 3060 or AMD RX 6600 or AMD RX 6600 XT. They should be in your price range and are much faster than a RX 570.

Thanks a bunch! I'll check those out :D

i run a RTX 2060 and i get 144fps in all areas except those that are heavily congested like limsa but it never drops below 60fps

just note that a good gpu isnt the only factor to running this game at max, you'll also need a pretty good cpu since theres so many things that can appear onscreen at once, i also run a i5 9600k

What are the prices and availability like for the lower end 3X series of Nvidea cards? I know my 3090 was WAY overpriced but I bought it anyway because there didn't seem to be much else available at the time. If the supply has recovered, it might be a good time for the OP to try and find one of the lower end 3X cards as was suggested by some of the previous posters. If supply is still tight, though, the OP might be better off to wait a bit and not get soaked.

I'm currently running with 1660 super with 1440p, at housing area it's like 80 fps ish, at Limsa it's above 60 fps :)

For consistent performance in extremely crowded areas this game is highly CPU bound, far more so than the GPU unless you're running heavy amounts of reshade at least.

Jumping between a Ryzen 3800X to a 5800X sees a jump of over 30%. Afaik the new 5800X3D is a similar leap again.

GPU wise the game generally appears to favour Nvidia a little, new at that price is tricky though, the 3060 is barely faster than a 2060 super. If you're playing at 1080p I'd look to see if you can find a good deal on a regular 2060. If you can save a good amount of money vs a 3060 that's a solid route to go. Otherwise see if you can stretch to a 3060Ti. It's a substantial leap over the regular 3060.

What's your monitor? That,d probably be a deciding factor..

If your using a 1080p display then spending to much on a better gpu would be a waste. You'd never see the performance increase.

But if your running 1440 or higher then the difference newer gpus make is much bigger and more noticeable.

An RTX 3090 Ti and Intel Core i9-12900KS would be best if you’re willing to spend the money

RTX 3060 runs the game fine at 1440p with max settings. I have it capped at 60 FPS because my monitor is 60hz + the game apparently has animation issues above that framerate + the fans are already loud enough as is in the city-states. Only notice slight FPS drops when there are a hundred people attacking or when Seiryu whips out that GPU-killing tidal wave.
