About running Final Fantasy XIV Online
Final Fantasy XIV Online (2013, MMO) runs on modest hardware and is far more forgiving than its release year suggests. Minimum spec is Intel Core i5-2400 and NVIDIA GTX 750. Recommended is Intel Core i7-9700 and NVIDIA GTX 1060. Memory goes from 8 GB at minimum to 16 GB recommended, and you'll want roughly 80 GB free on disk. On a machine that clears the recommended tier, the thing most likely to cost you frames is whatever else is running at the same time.
How to improve Final Fantasy XIV Online performance
- Close what you're not using. Browsers, chat apps and launchers sit on RAM and CPU while Final Fantasy XIV Online runs. On a machine near the minimum this is usually the single biggest win available.
- Check your actual refresh rate and resolution. Running below your monitor's native resolution costs less than most people expect; running above your refresh rate buys nothing at all.
- Update the graphics driver. New releases routinely ship driver-side fixes. For a 2013 title on an older card this can be the difference between stutter and smooth.
- Put the game on an SSD. Final Fantasy XIV Online wants about 80 GB. On a mechanical drive the frame rate may be fine while texture pop-in and load times are not.
- Free the memory before you launch. Windows accumulates background services that never give memory back. FixKon clears them out in one pass, which matters most when you're on 8–16 GB.
Final Fantasy XIV Online requirements FAQ
- What are the minimum requirements for Final Fantasy XIV Online?
- Final Fantasy XIV Online lists Intel Core i5-2400 or equivalent, NVIDIA GTX 750, 8 GB of RAM and about 80 GB of storage on Windows 10 64-bit.
- Can I run Final Fantasy XIV Online on a NVIDIA GTX 750?
- NVIDIA GTX 750 is the published minimum graphics card, so it should start and run — at low settings, at 1080p, and with frame dips in heavy scenes. The recommended card is NVIDIA GTX 1060.
- How much RAM does Final Fantasy XIV Online need?
- 8 GB is the minimum and 16 GB is recommended. Below the minimum the game will stutter or fail to launch regardless of how fast your CPU and graphics card are.
- Will Final Fantasy XIV Online run better if I close background apps?
- Usually yes, and most on a PC near the minimum spec. Background processes compete for the same CPU time and memory the game needs. This is what FixKon automates.
