Final Fantasy XV is an action role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix as part of the long-running Final Fantasy series. It was released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2016, and for Microsoft Windows in 2018. (Wikipedia).

We are testing FFXV as it is the first full title – and currently only title – that supports Nvidia’s AI-assisted DLSS anti-aliasing technique. Currently the game only supports DLSS when playing at 4K, so we benchmarked a section of the game with TAA on, and then with DLSS on to see the performance difference. We used the ‘Highest’ preset, but turned off other Nvidia technologies like HairWorks.

As expected, with FFXV the Strix 2060 outperforms the Nvidia Founders Edition 2060 – be it with TAA or DLSS enabled. DLSS still only works at 4K with FFXV, so it's not an ideal situation for either RTX 2060 card, but we can still see average frame rate jumping by almost 10FPS when we switch from TAA to DLSS.
