The Nvidia RTX 3070 and 3070 Ti were launched for 1440p gaming in the last generation. They continue to be superb GPUs for playing the latest games like Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail. The long-running MMO is receiving a massive graphics update with the latest DLC. However, it is still quite well-optimized on PC and runs at high framerates on some powerful GPUs.

In this guide, we will list the ideal graphics quality settings that can play Final Fantasy XIV at the highest FPS on the RTX 3070 and 3070 Ti.

The Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti is slightly more powerful than the original 70-class offering. Thanks to slightly higher core counts, you can get extra FPS in Dawntrail. We still recommend sticking to 1440p in the game, however, for the best experience.
