FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE PC requirements, FPS and best settings

Can your PC run FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE? The short answer

Where FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE ranks for hardware demand

Where it lands among 937 modelled titles, and how that plays out for entry, mid-range and high-end cards.

With a demand score of 12, FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE asks more of a GPU than 48% of the 937 games in our list. We call that moderately demanding.

Behind the number is the publisher recommended card, AMD Radeon™ RX 5500 XT / Intel® Arc™ A580 / NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1650, converted to an equivalent 1080p High workload. That makes the score comparable between games, though not exact for any single one.

What it means by card class

• As a mid-range card, the RTX 5070 manages 360+ FPS at 1080p, 348 FPS at 1440p and 200 FPS at 4K. Comfortable at 4K on High, around 200 FPS before any DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling.
• The RTX 5060, standing in for an entry card, gives roughly 315 FPS at 1080p and 203 FPS at 1440p, with 117 FPS at 4K. Comfortable at 4K on High, around 117 FPS before any DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling.
• Take an enthusiast card, the RTX 5090: about 360+ FPS at 1080p, 360+ FPS at 1440p and 360+ FPS at 4K on High. Reaches 360+ FPS at 4K on High, so native 4K is realistic.
• As a high-end card, the RTX 5080 manages 360+ FPS at 1080p, 360+ FPS at 1440p and 273 FPS at 4K. Holds roughly 273 FPS at 4K, so resolution is not the limit.

Processor demand is rated separately: FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE scores 21 on our CPU scale, higher than 21% of the games we model.

FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE system requirements

The official specs for FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE, compared with real GPUs and processors.

Taken from the Steam store page; developers can revise these with updates.

Reading the specs against real hardware

The minimum card, AMD Radeon™ RX 6400 / Intel® Arc™ A580 / NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1650, is the floor Steam sets. In our model it reaches about 131 FPS at 1080p on Low settings, and 72 FPS if you push it to High.

Steam suggests AMD Radeon™ RX 5500 XT / Intel® Arc™ A580 / NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1650 as the recommended card, good for about 81 FPS at 1080p and 52 FPS at 1440p on High here. That is above 60 FPS at 1080p, so the recommended spec reads as a comfortable 1080p target.

Steam asks for AMD Ryzen™ 5 2500X / Intel® Core™ i3-8100 at the recommended level. That class of processor tops out near 100 FPS in FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE in our modelling.

RAM starts at 8 GB RAM and goes to 8 GB RAM for the recommended tier, while the install needs 15 GB available space.

Which graphics card do you need for FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE?

From a 30 FPS floor to 4K, here is the card each target asks for in FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE.

The lowest card we tested that holds 60 FPS at 1080p on High is the GTX 1060 6GB, and the first desktop RTX 50 card to do it is the RTX 5050.

At 1440p the entry card for 60 FPS on High is the GTX 1060 6GB, with the RTX 5050 leading the RTX 50 line.

For 4K, upscaling does most of the work: with Quality DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling the RTX 5050 is the first RTX 50 card to achieve 60 FPS on High.

NVIDIA, AMD and Intel cards all appear in the list. For a personal answer with your own CPU and RAM, use the can my PC run it checker or look for a CPU bottleneck with the bottleneck checker.

FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE frame rates: 28 cards compared

Estimated frame rates for 28 GPUs from NVIDIA, AMD and Intel. Use the buttons to change resolution.

Compare the extremes: an RTX 5090 gets about 360+ FPS at 1440p and 360+ FPS at 4K, and an RTX 5050 around 151 FPS at 1440p. That is the span of results you can expect in FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE.

Full results table

Every figure assumes High settings and a fast processor. The last two columns use Quality DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS, if the game offers it). Figures above 360 FPS are shown as 360+. Put two cards side by side in the GPU comparison tool.

Graphics card verdicts: how each one handles FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE

How twelve well-known cards fare, explained simply.

Verdicts below use High settings throughout. For older cards a weak result mostly means lowering the preset, since Low and Medium settings recover a lot of speed in our modelling.

A useful comparison: RTX 5060 at roughly 203 FPS and RTX 5070 at roughly 348 FPS at 1440p, so the dearer card is about 71% faster here.

FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE settings by resolution

One plan per resolution, each aimed at a steady 60 FPS in this game.

1080p playbook

For 1080p play, GTX 1660 Super, RTX 3060 12GB, RTX 4060 clear 60 FPS on High without any upscaling on our figures, which leaves room to raise individual settings.

Each row below is the best-looking combination that still holds 60 FPS at 1080p in our modelling.

1440p playbook

For 1440p play, RTX 4060, RTX 5060, RTX 5070 clear 60 FPS on High without any upscaling on our figures, which leaves room to raise individual settings.

Start from the preset that still manages 60 FPS, then raise one setting at a time. The table gives the best preset for each card.

4K playbook

At 4K, RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 4080 Super, RTX 5080 hold 60 FPS natively on High in our modelling, so you can leave upscaling off and spend the headroom on settings.

Use the table as a starting point: it shows the highest preset that still manages 60 FPS for each card at 4K.

Stepping up the RTX 50 range in FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE

The gain from each rung of the RTX 50 ladder at 1440p on the High preset.

Moving from the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB to the RTX 5070 adds about 43% at 1440p, the largest jump in the RTX 50 range for FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE. The RTX 5070 Ti to RTX 5080 step adds only around 0%.

Do not overspend for FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE. Past the mid-range the extra graphics power goes unused, and a better processor would help more.

Compare options directly in the upgrade value calculator or the GPU price to performance calculator.

FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE VRAM requirements

Estimated graphics memory use on the High preset. Falling short of VRAM causes stutter even with a quick GPU.

We put FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE at about 3 GB at 1080p High, 3.9 GB at 1440p and 5.4 GB at 4K. That is an estimate derived from the recommended GPU, so use it as a guide and leave some memory spare.

Dropping texture quality is the quickest way to save memory: stepping from High to Medium trims the estimate to about 3.3 GB at 1440p.

VRAM size by size

• A 6 GB card is comfortable at 1080p, comfortable at 1440p and tight at 4K on High. Where it is short, Medium textures and DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling are the practical fixes.
• On an 8 GB card, 1080p is comfortable, 1440p is comfortable and 4K is comfortable on High. Where it is short, Medium textures and DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling are the practical fixes.
• On a 12 GB card, 1080p is comfortable, 1440p is comfortable and 4K is comfortable on High. Memory is rarely a worry at these settings.
• On a 16 GB card, 1080p is comfortable, 1440p is comfortable and 4K is comfortable on High. Memory is rarely a worry at these settings.

Matching a processor to a graphics card for FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE

How seven common processor and GPU pairs behave in this game.

FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE leaves the processor as the limit in 5 of the seven pairings below. Take the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB and Core i5-12400F: the CPU tops out around 212 FPS, below the roughly 244 FPS the card could deliver at 1440p.

The best-balanced pairing is the RTX 4060 with Core i3-12100F: its processor ceiling (about 162 FPS) sits close to what the card can draw (around 174 FPS) at 1440p, so neither part is wasted.

These pairings are examples, not recommendations to buy. Swap in your own parts with the bottleneck checker to see which side limits you.

FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE memory and disk space

What Steam gives for memory and disk space, and what it means in practice.

Memory first. Steam sets 8 GB RAM as the minimum and 8 GB RAM as the recommended amount. With Windows, a browser and a chat app open, 16 GB leaves comfortable headroom.

Storage is listed at about 15 GB. Expect around 24 min to download on a 100 Mbps line, or roughly 5 min on 500 Mbps.

There is no SSD requirement on the page, but faster storage never hurts.

Work out your total in the RAM calculator: it adds Windows, a browser and any streaming to the game's own needs. Check how long the install takes with the download time calculator.

FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE best graphics settings

Where to begin for a handful of common cards. Each cell is the highest preset that still manages 60 FPS.

Each cell shows the highest preset that still manages 60 FPS in FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE, with the upscaling mode it needs.

• After that, cut the most expensive settings. Shadows, volumetric effects and draw distance usually cost the most, if the game offers them.
• Reach for DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling first. You lose little sharpness and gain a lot of speed. Choose the best-looking mode that still hits your target.
• Set a frame cap to your monitor to save power and heat, and check the VRR and frame cap calculator for a sensible figure.
• Do not cut textures first if you have the VRAM. They barely touch frame rate. This game is estimated at 3.9 GB at 1440p.
• Change one thing at a time and watch the frame rate, so you know which setting did the work.

The facts above are from the public Steam store page. We have not benchmarked every card, so treat the frame rates on this page as modelled estimates.

How the FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE estimates work

A short, honest note on how the numbers are produced.

Here is what feeds the estimates: demand 12 from the recommended card, CPU score 21 (from the listed processor line), and a 1080p High VRAM figure of 3 GB (estimated from the demand score).

Frame rates scale each GPU against that demand, then adjust for resolution, preset, upscaling and a memory penalty when a card runs short of VRAM. CPU limits cap the result using a fast reference processor in the GPU tables.

Nothing on this page is a measured benchmark. Expect real frame rates to differ with drivers, updates and your own system, and treat the tables as a guide.
