The Dawntrail update raised minimum requirements, improving textures and lighting. It supports FSR/DLSS to help performance. 16GB of RAM is recommended for a smooth experience.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, frame rates range from 30 to 68 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 32 to 67 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 17 to 41 FPS.
The RTX 4000 Ada Generation Mobile is 57% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2060) for Final Fantasy XIV. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 53% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-9700).
The RTX 4000 Ada Generation Mobile sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom.
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k medium, the RTX 4000 Ada Generation Mobile sets the ceiling at about 29 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 144 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 80% (FPS gap: 115 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your RTX 4000 Ada Generation Mobile is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 55% | GPU Limits CPU 57% | GPU Limits CPU 57% | GPU Limits CPU 57% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 52% | GPU Limits CPU 56% | GPU Limits CPU 56% | GPU Limits CPU 54% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 77% | GPU Limits CPU 80% | GPU Limits CPU 79% | GPU Limits CPU 76% |
We estimate the maximum FPS the processor can sustain and the maximum FPS the graphics card can sustain in each setting, then compare those limits directly.
Limit Factor formula: (stronger - weaker) / stronger. Example: if CPU ceiling is 200 FPS and GPU ceiling is 140 FPS, then GPU limits CPU by 30%.
CPU Limits GPU means the processor ceiling is lower. GPU Limits CPU means the graphics ceiling is lower. Balanced means the FPS ceilings are close enough that the gap is negligible.
A component can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and RTX 4000 Ada Generation Mobile will struggle to run Final Fantasy XIV at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 30 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
Price data is not currently available for this combination. In general, look for setups where the CPU and GPU are balanced — this ensures you're not overspending on one component that the other can't keep up with.
For Final Fantasy XIV, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The RTX 4000 Ada Generation Mobile is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
Final Fantasy XIV does not currently support Frame Generation technologies like DLSS 3 or FSR 3. Your performance is based entirely on native rendering. If the game adds support in a future update, newer GPUs will benefit the most.
Final Fantasy XIV requires at minimum a Core i5-8400 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 970 (GPU) with 8 GB RAM and 140 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i7-9700 and GeForce RTX 2060 with 16 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D and RTX 4000 Ada Generation Mobile both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Final Fantasy XIV FPS results are not arbitrary numbers. They come from calculations informed by thousands of real gaming benchmarks, and the typical accuracy range is around 10% to 15%. That makes them far more useful than generic FPS calculators that simply invent values without a benchmark foundation. Actual in-game performance can still vary with drivers, updates, RAM configuration, cooling, and the exact scene being rendered.
Performance estimates are based on synthetic benchmarks and hardware capabilities.
Results may vary based on drivers, OS, and background processes.
