Adding some context to OP's screenshot: The 9070XT usually trades blows with the RTX 5070Ti in most other games, so seeing it inexplicably lose by 25% in FFXIV 1440p (30% on FFXIV 4k) is disheartening.
Yea it just coming out is fair of course, I'm hoping once SQenix has a chance to check it out it will be as simple as a patch or something, though that said, all the 3rd party reviewers (Gamers Nexus especially) are pretty trustworthy so I doubt we'll see better results from end users, unless and until of course, it is addressed by drivers or patch if at all possible.

In fairness, it's not that AMD has significant differences in FFXIV, as per GamersNexus this appears to be an outlier. The card itself seems very good value for pretty much most other games, just FF is somehow severely under performing >.<

If it was just a few percentage points vs other games, one might chalk it up to random little deviations based on what was on screen or whatever, but 25% - 30% lower seems wildly out of trend.

Fingers crossed it's only temporary, I was really hoping to upgrade to this too but FF is my main game so this would be a deal breaker >.<
