![]() Once I reached a point in the game where you were more free to explore more open areas I tried setting the game options back to high just to see how it would perform and again the previous performance issues occurred even while just running around. I did notice though, that turning the graphical settings down did sharpen up the image a fair bit so I'm fairly certain some form of dynamic resolution scaling happening to help with performance. In places with a lot of explosions, geometry, alpha effects, and light sources casting shadows the game started dropping frames, but once I set the shadows to the low setting the game jumped back up to around 60 FPS and everything ran smoothly again. Everything was good until after the boss and we needed to escape the area. So in an attempt to improve performance, I changed the textures down to the low setting and the stuttering was completely eliminated and the game surprisingly ran near, if not at, a smooth 60 FPS even during the first boss fight with a lot of effects and action on screen. My suspicion was that 4GB of VRAM is not enough to handle the game with high textures and the stuttering was a result of asset swapping as you played the game. This also applies to gameplay when running through areas and turning the camera around rapidly. While running the game in 1080P with both the available graphics settings set to high and while maintaining a respectable framerate, some obvious hitching occurs during cinematic sequences as the camera quickly changes scenes or swings around. Since the game had no problem running smoothly on my main PC I decided to try and run the game on a more modest build somewhere closer to Square Enix’s minimum specs. Given the texture and shadow quality, my guess is that the low settings are more in line with how the game was originally displayed on the PS4 models while the high settings are closer to what you would expect from the Playstation 5 version of the game. Luckily even at low settings the game is still gorgeous and is nothing to scoff at. So those wishing to tailor their settings to more specifically match their computer's specs are out of luck unless a patch comes out at a later date. I'm assuming this has to do with how many NPCs are on screen at any given time. Unfortunately, the graphical settings are pretty limited in the build I tested, as there are really only low and high settings for textures and shadows in addition to some HDR settings, resolution, and something called “Characters Displayed”. I have also tested installing the game on a mechanical hard drive and the game still boots up surprisingly fast, all things considered, around 10 to 15 seconds on average. (We are talking 2-3 seconds.no, seriously). The game is easily capable of running at 60 FPS at 1440p and if you are equipped with an NVME SSD, you will have the benefit of extremely fast loading times. ![]() Graphics: GeForce GTX 1080 / Radeon RX 5700 (8GB VRAM)įor the higher-end PC, I have recorded a video to showcase the framerate of the game running with a 120FPS cap on a 120Hz display with a GTX 1080. ![]() Processor: IntelCore i7-3770 / AMD Ryzen 3 3100 Graphics: GeForce GTX 780 / Radeon RX 480 (3GB VRAM) OS: Windows 10 64 bit (version 2004 or later) Does the game really require a top-of-the-line PC to run smoothly? Or are the minimum requirements accurate and can it run well on a more modest build? Below I have posted both the minimum and recommended system requirements listed from the official website, and to be sure of the port's performance, I went ahead and tested the game on two very different PCs. Now that the game has been ported to PC and given the rather modest minimum system requirements, one would wonder how well does the game run considering the high graphical fidelity of the Final Fantasy VII remake. Yes, on PC, the most important problem has been addressed even with low settings. Luckily most of these issues were addressed, and for the most part, eliminated in the PS5 version, such as long loading times and low-quality textures in some areas. Although I have played the original PS4 version and had no trouble enjoying the experience, it is well known that there are some minor technical issues with that version of the game. ![]()
