DLSS and Graphical settings.

There seem to be stuttering issues with a lot of varying setups, not just OP's. Even lowering the settings to the lowest still has issues. FPS drop in any area, usually from above 60 down to 10-ish everyy few seconds. No idea why it's happening.

Whatever DLSS setup they have implemented it is completely bogus.

In other games, I can see a noticeable difference in GPU utilization depending on whether DLSS is off/on.

Not so in XIV. No matter what I set, my 3080 just doesn't give a hoot.

I also find it very strange that XIV can tax my GPU to 100%, barely managing a stable 60FPS @ 4K with (supposedly) DLSS active, considering this game doesn't even employ any ray tracing. o_O

I haven't noticed any discernable difference between FSR and DLSS from my time playing so far, and opted to just stick with FSR for now. I seem to have no trouble keeping a consistent ~60 (manually capped at 62) FPS with my 3070 at 1440p with maxed out settings. Even in crowded areas I don't seem to go above 60% GPU usage.

Has everyone that's having issues made sure to update their graphics drivers? There was a new Nvidia driver that was released a few days ago that included optimization for Dawntrail.

Maybe this is the reason why everyone is complaining, ngreedia GPUs

Do you have an FPS limit set by chance? Is your monitor refresh rate set at 30hz in the nvidia control panel?

How does a driver update make you want to call them ngreedia? Like there are real reasons to hate on Nvidia but releasing a driver with optimizations for your game isn't it.

DLSS looks blurry when walking running. During cutscenes the graphics would drop to low settings randomly.

That's the reason why i use DLAA instead of DLSS.

30fps seems like a bit of a specific framerate. Are you sure you screen isn't set to 30Hz, either in the FF display settings itself if that is set to "fullscreen", or in the Windows monitor settings if FF display settings is set to "borderless windowed". If that is set to 60 (or higher), maybe your fps is capped to half/quarter rate at the bottom of the FF display settings? Or double check the Nvidia control panel for a framerate cap, either globally or in the FF profile.
