Please be aware that this game just runs bad on some low-mid rangle laptop and desktop graphic cards and be aware of your graphic cards performance and capabilities because otherwise you will suffer from slow frame rates.

This video shows how well the game still can run on a Nvidia 660 GTX-Ti with the above settings applied.

This is my PC setup I was using:

1080x720 Resolution

CPU: Intel i7 920 2,8 Ghz Socket 1366
Mainboard: Asus P6T
Videocard: Asus Direct CUII Nvidia GeForce 660 GTX Ti 2GB Vram
Memory: 6 GB DDRam 3(3x2 GB in Tripple channel) Kingston CL9 1333 Value Ram
Powersupply: Corsair TX640W
OS: Windows 7-64Bit Home Premium

and these are the Settings I applied in the Nvidia Control Panel

Ambient Occlusion - Not Supported
Anisotropic Filter - 16x
FXAA - Off
Gamma Correction - On
Antialiasing Mode - Override Application
Antialiasing Setting 8x (CSAA)
Antialiasing Transparency - Off
CUDA GPU's - All
Max pre-rendered frames - 1
Single display Performance mode
Power Management - Prefer max performance
Shader Cache - On
Texture filtering Anisotropic sampling - Off
Texture filtering Nagative LOD - Clamp
Texture filtering Quality - Quality
Texture filtering Trilinear Optimization - On
Threaded Optimization - On
Triple Buffer - On
V-Sync - On

I did the above and game still crashes before the first fight is over.

Can't see how setting AA to 8x CSAA will help with the performance...

AriRawwwrr 15 Mar, 2016 @ 7:15pm

Wow, this really helped, now the game never drops below 30fps! I am running it on a rig with a NVidia 980 ti, though.

When it comes to performance you should change somethings,

Antialiasing Setting 8x (CSAA), lower this to 4x or even 2x
Triple Buffer - On , will add an extra buffer, turn it off
V-Sync - On, turn it off

these 3 are quality settings in my eyes, not performance.

Thanks, I can now run this trainwreck at a solid 20-30 FPS, which is fine with me, I enjoyed it on console and I can handle these kinds of numbers fine! :)

while i can hit a perfect 60 FPS in FFXIII now with my intel core i7-4790k with an OC Gefore GTX 660 ti 2 GB card, I can not hit 60 FPS all the time in FFXIII-2 even with the above settings for the GTX 660 ti 2 GB card. there's one thing i can try that i haven't yet and it's a new thing with the latest driver is the debug mode. Debug mode makes your card run at the cards original speed set by nvidia. because sometimes over clock cards can cause troubles. I'll post information if there's any changes to the game once i done that.

This worked like a charm only for a day :|. I had bit more chance of scoring 60FPS. And on other games, i got fps boost by 7-10FPS.

GuyInDogSuit 18 Jun, 2015 @ 4:25pm

Yup, I did that. I think I can deal with some FPS drops in the rain for the time being.

AlucarD [author] 18 Jun, 2015 @ 3:45am

okay I am sorry to hear that, in that case go to the Nvidia control panel and remove the game from the added games and revert the settings to default.
