We got the surprise drop today of the FFXVI Steam page which also includes already a demo and from my testing is working really good!

I am using Bazzite 40 w/a 5600x CPU and a 6800xt GPU and at 4K (with FSR) it goes around 60 FPS with everything on high (except shadows which defaults to medium on High settings).

Approximately for me FSR quality is around 55 FPS, Balance is 66, Performance is 85, Ultra Performance is around 100 FPS.

It has FSR 3 with Frame Gen as an extra option, XeSS 1.3, Legacy FSR 1 if for some reason you want that, and Dynamic Resolution.

Frame Gen I think it works, I definitively can see the artifacts of Frame Gen, but I don’t feel it more smooth (?), not sure how it works on Linux, never got the chance to test it on Windows either, but either way the gains with FSR are good that I personally would not turn that on.

Out of the box it initially gives a “no compatible GPU error” window, but just clicking ok loads the game with no issue and the GPU is actually detected all-right in game.

It also has HDR support so I used the following argument to enable HDR (KDE 6.1):

DXVK_HDR=1 gamescope -f -w 3840 -h 2160 -r 120 --hdr-enabled – env MANGOHUD=1 %command%

**Quick update

It seems like some people are experiencing some heavy glitches with some black bars across the screen, I personally saw a really small affectation on the Dragoon fight, I reloaded the last checkpoint and the glitch didn’t show up any more, so hopefully a quick reload can help!

Also the cutscenes are locked at 30fps and for a game with 20+ hours of cutscenes…thats…not great but thats besides linux but yeah.
