Mmm, on minimum EVEYTHING including "character & object quantity on screen" still 30 fps when I stand near the NPC with 10–15 players around. This is absurd! It's not a core duo from 2005.
Moreover, I got Very Hight in the Downtrail benchmark, so, you are saying that very high from SquareEnix means 30 fps?

[FZ10]

why did you buy a 4090 and 128gb of ram and not replace your 5+ year old CPU?

for reference I'm standing in the main city right now at 117fps with a 3060 and a ryzen 5 5600x 4.2-4.5ghz with 32gb of ram.

This CPU from 2020, was announced in November 2019. This CPU is for work, very powerful, and once again: The only game I have problem with my CPU+ GPU is FF14. All other games, from Cyberpunk to the latest Elden Ring DLC, are on MAX.

You complain about a game that uses like 4 threads very heavily about how bad it runs on your *WORKSTATION* CPU.... ya know how -redacted- that sounds? it sounds like you have more money than sense. You don't buy a EPYC CPU and run star craft 2 on it and expect it to run at 500 FPS. Sure that 128 core cpu running at 3 ghz per core is super good at rendering using all cores but when you throw a game at it that uses 1 or 2 cores it sucks... because duhh. An extreme example for sure but one that hits home just how ridiculous you are making this out to be. I mean the 5950x beats your cpu in some multithreaded tasks for crying out loud and the 9000 CPUs are about to come out.

Time to upgrade.

This game is weird.

I'm on my 4th PC since playing this game and none of them could get it to the desired performance without sacrificing something and something always breaks on each patch or break I take.

It's not like they're weak PCs either, all high end. My current build is a 7800X3D setup and I can barely get 110FPS with FSR on max(50).

mine is same cpu, 3080 Ti, FSR and I am pulling in 150+ pretty consistently

There is always something more powerful and better, and it does not mean that games from 2013 should run like this on CPU from 2020 when ALL, OTHER, GAMES, RUN, PERFECTLY. All I hear from you is justification from the victim of marketing.
Honestly, like talking to a wall.

I have a 5900X with PBO2 on (4.9ghz in games such as XIV) and i get 100-120 at no matter what my settings are for the most part. Hoping for the ryzen 10000 CPUs to really bring it for me to upgrade finally.

You clearly are doing something wrong as the CPU should NOT be preforming that poorly but it still wont preform well as it is not what that CPU was made to do. I don't understand how someone who "needs" that cpu to work for a living can understand so little about technology.

On my potato GPU i noticed that switching ambient occlusion from HBAO + Quality to something else, gives me a pretty big fps boost.

This I see clearly, you do not understand.

While possessing impressive multi core performance, Threadripper of that era has middling at best single core performance compared even to CPUs of its own generation due to lower clock speeds. I's expect modern Ryzen to have nearly double the single core performance (unverified, only suspected, not checking benches right now MSQ to do) which, by the way is what XIV likes. It does NOT multi thread well. When one is CPU bound as you are no reduction in graphical settings will make any difference in performance whatsoever.
