Final Fantasy XIV benchmark on RX 9070: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Final Fantasy XIV FPS with a RX 9070 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 280FPS min 143Excellent | 221FPS min 123Excellent | 115FPS min 83Good |
| High | 364FPS min 186Excellent | 287FPS min 160Excellent | 149FPS min 108Excellent |
| Medium | 477FPS min 243Excellent | 376FPS min 209Excellent | 195FPS min 141Excellent |
| Low | 500FPS min 255Excellent | 486FPS min 271Excellent | 252FPS min 183Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 62% | CPU 54% | CPU 25% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 9070. There is 6% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Final Fantasy XIV at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RX 9070 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 280 | 350 | 406 | 595 |
| 1440p | 221 | 298 | 365 | 507 |
| 4K | 115 | 167 | 213 | 284 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 9070 does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and FSR is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
With that CPU, the RX 9070 has headroom to spare in Final Fantasy XIV: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help.
Is the RX 9070 Enough for Final Fantasy XIV?
The RX 9070 delivers 280 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Final Fantasy XIV. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 221 FPS and at 4K 115 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
