[PS5] 4K with FPS limit at 30?

[DiasFlacOg]

I was hoping for better performance on the PS5. I mean even on 1440p it can't maintain a rock solid 60fps.

On my PC with a 9900K@4.8ghz, 2080ti, 16gb tridentz 3200mhz ram, and a 1TB samsung 970 Pro i can maintain a perfect 60fps with max settings including the brand new "4K" icons and hud.

Now im perfectly aware that a PS5 can't really match these specs in terms of raw CPU and GPU IPC but this game's graphics are not that good or even good at all depending on who you ask. Some textures are straight out of the ps2 era.

1440p with a locked 60fps should have been doable on ps5. I hope the full release is more optimized.

How do you guys transfer user settings over to PS5 version?

Upload from the PS4 version and download on the PS5 version from the character selection screen.

Digital Foundry proved that the PS5 is slightly more powerful than a RTX2080 running at max settings; It's plenty powerful. As someone mentioned earlier, it runs way more graphically demanding games like Destiny and Monster Hunter World at 4k/60FPS so there's really no reason for this game to be any different. I'm sure it's due to this just being a beta but it's still annoying that it's essentially a downgrade from the PS4 Pro version lol.

I currently run on PS5 with a Visio P65 Quantum TV ,sony str-dh790 amplifier 4K Dolby Vision/HDR10 pass through (ps5 doesn't support Dolby Vision yet). I can't run in 120hz even though my TV supports it since I am limited to HDCP on my amplifier which doesn't support 120hz pass through. Hoped they would patch it through firmware updates, but doesn't seem likely.

I fiddled with my PS5, my TV, amplifier, and the in game settings to see why FFXIV runs so poorly in 4K native with FFXIV PS5 compared to God of War 4K checkerboard.

Now albeit this is not a direct comparison considering God of War isn't native 4K. But when I compare the higher texture format, framerate, frame drops, tearing, general PS5 ability. There IS no comparison in the two games. Not even Ghost of Tsushima, Last of Us 2, PS4 FFXIV on PS5 (4k checkerboard 60fps) run this poorly (especially ghosts of tsushima, amazing) . None of these games could hold a candle to the poor presentation of 4K native on FFXIV PS5 beta.

I also went a step further and looked at my XBOX One X with known native 4k titles. Sadly hardly any of them run at 60 fps and are capped at 30fps but they run perfectly at the insane 4K native resolution with the same setup. If anyone knows of a 4K native 60fps on XBOX one X I would like to know. Still Assassin's Creed Origins/Odyssey look great in native 4K being older titles respectively.

This appears to me to be a highly unoptimized beta in it's current state and I feel it will eventually be ironed out when AMD's version of DLSS get's patched into the PS5. If.....

I'll run the game in WQHD until it's out of beta I suppose.

Tested a little bit with my PC. Yes, a RTX 3070 is more powerful than a PS5. I know.

Settings for Test:

Resolution: 3840x2160 at 60 Hz
Graphics profile in XIV: Desktop (High)
Content: Delubrum Reginae (normal)

Result:

The average GPU utilisation was at 60%
The highest peak I've seen was at 68%

With this amount of headroom on a RTX 3070 I'm sure a PS5 can do the same. With less amount of headroom of course, but still with some headroom left.
