Benchmark review: Final Fantasy XV for Windows PC (Updated)
We have benchmarked Final Fantasy XV for Windows. We have a look at performance with the newest graphics cards and technologies including FCAT frametimes, VRAM usage, quality settings performance and check the Intel versus AMD Ryzen platform. We rested Radeon cards with the new 18.3.1 driver.
At the game launch day, AMD released a new driver, 18.3.1. The new driver should add support for Final Fantasy XV. We have tested the 18.2.3 versus the 18.3.1 drivers on a Radeon RX 480 and Vega 64, we have not been able to spot any significant performance enhancements at this time.

Good so see a article on the games performance.
Should make for a interesting read.
(And the benchmark makes comparisons pretty easy since it's a scripted run that is mostly identical in how it plays out.)
These are NOT results done with the benchmark released a while ago!, this is a manually played run in the first chapter of the game (demo). Thus this is based on real gameplay and thus in-game measurements. Check the FCAT video in this article for the measurement run to replicate if you'd like to.

Looks like GTX 1060 is ~14% faster on average vs. RX580 at 1080p.

"This is an NVIDIA gameworks and this NVIDIA optimized title"
Is it really just optimized when your company is actually creating the black box methods for how the game actually renders stuff? How would one determine something isnt working right when only Nvidia knows? I bet its always working as intended /s
Back in the day it was a big deal when companies made game specific driver optimizations rather than something that optimized for the whole engine. We moved from that to working with the game developers to make sure hardware works correctly. Each hardware vendor could do this since the only barrier was the developer.
Take that to the next level with gameworks actually locking out the other vendor. I guess that in a nutshell is the whole gameworks argument.

A difficult discussion, you can see that the perf hit with gameworks on/off is roughly equal for both parties. FF XV definitely seems to like GeForce cards a notch better though. BTW as mentioned in the article, I tested with the gamework features disabled, to create a more fair and balanced test field for both brands.
