On Windows 11 with the Framework 13" AMD 7640u I’m only getting an average of about 11 fps in Final Fantasy XIV. I’ve put the BIOS in gaming mode so it has 4GB of vram now, and I’ve updated the drivers to the latest AMD software (Thought it may have just been the framework drivers having issues at first). I’ve also made sure the AMD software is running and that there are 48GB of RAM in dual channel. Windows is also set for gaming mode, and FFXIV is explicitly set to high performance.
I did some digging and I think the 760m iGPU should be able to run this no problem. It’s a fairly old game even factoring in the recent graphical update. Is there anything else that could be the issue here?
What resolution are you playing at? FFXIV would perform poorly at native resolution, both on the 2256x1504 display and the 2880x1920 display.
Logical Increments has a nice performance chart to help you understand the expected performance of FFXIV. The 760M is above the “Entry” tier but below the “Modest” tier.
So probably ~30 FPS would be expected at 1080p, and anything beyond that would be unplayable.

The performance I mentioned was at 1080p. I was able to get 25 after going down to 720p and dropping the settings to their minimum.
Is your windows power setting set to efficiency, balanced, or performance? Not for the game itself but for an overall profile. Are your thermals looking good as well? Not throttling at 100C or anything?
