Other than basic output resolution and some HDR settings, the only other options you have are low and high texture resolution, low and high shadow resolution, and the ability to limit the number of characters on-screen to between one and 10. I tried running it at 90fps to see how things would hold up and the image quality was much blurrier, so it looks like dynamic resolution scaling is being applied.īetter PCs should be able to run the game at 120fps with higher resolution, then, but the actual assets aren’t going to look any better. This version of Remake has very few graphical options, and you’re forced to pick between fixed frame rate caps - it can run at 30fps, 60fps, 90fps, or 120fps. What is disappointing is that you won’t get much better performance out of a much better PC. Final Fantasy VII Remake is often an amazingly beautiful game, but its linear, enclosed levels feel designed with 2013 console hardware in mind, so it would have been disappointing not to get better performance even out of an aging PC.

I tested the game on my own PC that I built more than five years ago, which has an Intel Core i5-6600K processor, an Nvidia GTX 1080 GPU, and 16GB of RAM, and had no problem running it at 1440p and 60 frames per second on “high” settings even though it was installed to a spinning hard drive. Unlike some recent PlayStation-to-PC ports, Final Fantasy VII Remake feels well-optimized for the PC from a performance standpoint. Read next: Final Fantasy VII Remake reviewįirst, the good news.
