Conclusion: FFXV GPU Results
These results are more cause for investigation. We’re digging into which graphics options specifically are causing the hitching behavior that’s present on both nVidia and AMD hardware. As it stands now, “High” settings, as a blanket, are exacting a detrimental impact on frametime performance and consistency. This is most severe on AMD cards, which are struggling to cope with – we’d assume – the GameWorks settings, although other graphics options do change alongside the GameWorks options. This is something that we are actively investigating, now that we’ve figured out how to toggle settings manually. We should have more soon.
There’s no doubt that the game is visually impressive. The achievement of the visuals, by and large, is done with heavily tessellating things like terrain and ground elements, which provide the apparent depth to the ground. Hair is also tessellated, and the shadow libraries (although the pop-in isn’t great) are pulled from GameWorks. That’s not to discredit Square Enix’s own contributions, though: Texture quality is impressive, and the huge amount of texture detail is indicative of precisely why the 4GB cards are struggling the most. That’s a lot of data to stream, and is also a major contributor in frametime spikiness on the first test pass.
