FFXIV poor performance outlier on new Radeon 9070 XT cards!?

[s32ialx]

Proud but sad owner of a XFX 9070 XT and FSR is not able to be turned on, unless I am just being a blonde and it's forced on but greyed out to me usually means not enabled and the lil pop up when launching said FSR is not enabled.

Also Average FPS of 56 sitting idle in limsa.

If I recall correctly, the upsaling option only lights up if you reduce the scaling form 100%. It's also only FSR 1.0 so probably not worth bothering with. I have a 7800XT and manage upwards of 80-120fps (my panel refresh rate cap) at 1440p and max settings, I remember on Windows I could see 200+ in some places when I uncapped the frame rate.

yeah I have mine set to my monitor refresh rate of 165Hz, I would get around 70-120 FPS depending where I was with my old 3070 Ti, it's really sad to see it preform worse than a card that weak and old. I hope a fix comes soon

That does seem a little out of place, just out of curiosity is this A: The same Windows install that you ran the 3070Ti with? B: If it is, did you just uninstall the Nvidia driver and plug in the AMD or did you run DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller)? Also what happens if you keep vsync set in the AMD driver but uncap the frame rate in FF? Taking another look at those screenshots, I'm noticing the GPU utilisation is showing a fair amount of headroom, are you CPU limited in Limsa?

EDIT: Did a little testing on my end in Shirogane, I know a spot where I get only 80 odd fps (X13.5, Y11.7 looking southwest toward the lighthouse) and pulled up my system monitor I see 80% GPU usage, but none of my CPU threads are getting over 80% regardless of if I set the game to 1440p, 1080p or 768p (GPU use does vary accordingly though). What I can't say is if it's because I'm running the game in Linux or because there's an actual problem with the game.

yeah I DDU'd in safe mode, the funny thing is I tried both having vsync on in the AMD app and off and when it is off it very seldomly spikes up to 62 fps D:

also for context I am running a B550 ASUS TUF motherboard with a Ryzen 9 5900X and 64GB of RAM

It’s greyed out because you have an AMD GPU, and therefore cannot select DLSS. And FSR won’t kick in unless you set the resolution scaling to less than 100. It’s a tad confusing but FSR at 100 resolution scale is just running the game natively without any upscaling.
