Not yet, if you can send me the link to it, I shall try it out sometime.

My OS is: Windows 10 64-bit
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1080

By the way, if I install the March 2018 driver would this effect FFXIV. For example if Shadowbringers comes out. It might make the game have errors because of loading an older GPU driver?
That's what I am kind of afraid of.

I don't think it will cause errors in XIV, no. At least it's doubtful. The internal workings of the game weren't redone for Shadowbringers. I think we are on the same datacenter, I'll try to message you in game with the link.

That is the version I am already on. and FFXIV's fps limiter is still broken. :(

Pheonix is on the new EU Light Datacentre xD

Thanks anyway :)

I started messing around with the FPS limiter in game and I think you are right. I forced Vertical Sync off for XIV in the NVidia control panel and I have significantly less stutter for the last hour.

Ive made a massive post with replies to the forum admins.

Even made a ticket.

Still no help....great customer support.

Ive gone back on Nvidia drivers to when RTX support started.

Its an FF XIV issue and in my case an issue with FFXIV support and Gsync.

So technically Nvidia and FFXIV need to get their crap sorted out.

Mine is fixed now. Might been from last NVidia update that fixed it Or could been fixed from last ffxiv update. Not sure but seem to be working right again.

From what you've told me so far, it doesn't sound like the GPU itself is your problem (unless your 1080 and 960 happen to have the exact same issue). However, the motherboard issue may be contributing to it somewhat. As you mentioned, you may want to try the other graphics card slot. My thought is the one you are using may have an issue that might throttling Graphics memory bandwidth (this usually isn't an issue with FFXIV, I don't see why you would be hitting a memory bandwidth unless something is damaged).

I'm not sure if you have tried it already, but you might want to try a clean boot. Simply open the task manager and select the 'Start up' tab. Disable everything here and restart the PC. This will make sure that no background processes are interfering with the game. When you start the PC again, don't start any other programs or open any overlays (Steam overlay, Geforce Experience, etc.).

Please let us know if your other solutions changes your situation.

We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!

By the way, lately I tired to "Clean boot" my system. By following what you said along with this guide from Microsoft. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RYJfK4hpQM

Unfortunately I had no luck at all.

I have no clue why it says "Date Disabled 01/01/1970" when I disabled it today 28/04/2019

It's also strange that the title and character screens can maintain the capped frame rate when in game in an area with no players in, it cannot.
