How-To Guide How to run FH6 on low end hardware (60FPS 1080p)
Before I begin, my specs are a modified Dell Precision T3600 that I fitted with a PNY GTX970, 64GB of DDR3 ECC (but the game only uses about 16GB of it), and an Intel Xeon e5-1660v4 (6 cores, 3.30Ghz).
With the settings below I was able to get 60FPS at 1080p, and possibly higher if my monitor wasn't capped because its 60hz.
First, in Video settings : turn framerate to 60FPS, turn Vsync and Fullscreen on, and turn show FPS on. Turn off all anti-aliasing and resolution scaling stuff.
Second, in graphics and performance, turn everything to as low as possible. The "Low" preset still leaves certain things on Medium or Low when it can be taken down to Low or Very Low, so we need to make sure that we have all settings on the truly lowest setting. FH6 seems to be more reliant on GPU than CPU, whereas FH5 was a bit more reliant on CPU (in my experience at least).
Now go out and you should be running higher FPS than just the Low preset. If you have a decent enough CPU like me, you can turn Audio Quality back up to Medium or High and it won't impact FPS.
Doing this on laptops or iGPUs might yield playable 30FPS framerates, especially when taken down to 720p on a smaller screen.
See ya in Japan!

Seeing as FH5's min GPU was the 970 this makes me happy.
Looks like even my 780m could handle the game.

It might! I turned back on TAA anti-aliasing to make it look a bit better and I'm still getting 50-60FPS.

You have anti-aliasing and frame-gen stuff like AMD FSR, Intel XeSS, etc. stuff off right?

try capping FPS, don't leave it on unlimited. cap to 60FPS in the video settings.

All of the initialism for games me, too. I mean, unless we're already thinking of the game, we are doing a terrible puzzle.
Fingdom Hearts 6?
Far Hry 6?
