Does anyone have a handy remedy for this? It occasionally drops from smooth 120fps to hitching heavily below 10fps. Nothing seems to affect the drops from the graphics and I have enough VRAM and RAM to push what I have set on there.

i don't think there's anything you can do tbh ... it's probably how their engine works or something
 
Damn... It's super annoying 'cause I get smooth FPS all the time then it suddenly plummets. Wouldn't mind it as much if the performance was a bit choppy 'cause then I'd "get it" but now it's jarring as heck.

yeah ... it's not a great port, unfortunately

I thought it was for all the "Windows Version" statements all over the title. :p It does look good and it runs well outside of the hiccups which is a shame.

yeah, it really is a shame ... it looks so good
 
Have you tried SpecialK for it? I couldn't try it for myself but according to PCGW the mini-mod specifically helps with the following in FFXV:

Allows users to block certain input devices to prevent the game from hitching every time it loads the icon for another input device.

Lowers the Steam API overhead of the game; provides more stable frame render times and shorter loading times on certain hardware configurations.

Includes options that fix thread scheduling options in some threads, that causes starvation on graphics/audio threads.

Here's the Steam discussion for it.

Just throwing this out there, by chance do you have page file disabled?

I ask this because at ds3 launch I was getting stuttering and frame drops like mad. Randomly enable page file to like 8gb (system has 16gb) and it fixed it for me.

Never know may help or not.
