Frame rate stutter regularly

I have been plagued with this issue since the beginning of Stormblood. Back then I thought that it was due to my CPU maybe dying (Intel I7 4790k, 4.0 GHz, I was also running a GTX 980 Ti), this was not the case. However I have recently come back to FFXIV and I have noticed that this stutter happens after the game is open for a bit or right on startup sometimes. Since SB release I have upgraded my specs and am now running:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700x, 8 Core, 4.00GHz
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti, 8GB GDDR5
Mobo: ASUS Prime x470-Pro
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 2 x 8GB DDR4-3,000MHz Dual Channel
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO Series 500GB Sata III 6Gb/s

I have disabled any hardware accelerations and overlays from other applications. I have also set my frame cap to 60, 120, unlimited. The issue however still persists. I have also turned off and on in all combinations everything having to do with the creator's patch for W10. The issue also persists regardless of if I am running the game in Windowed, Full-screen Windowed or Full Screen modes. I have also attempted to run the game at the stock medium, high and max settings for Desktop and Laptop. I have also reinstalled visual drivers cleanly through the use of DDU. I have also used different monitors with FreeSync, G-Sync. At 60Hz, 120Hz and 144Hz.

Nothing I have tried has ever fixed this issue, the game either starts with it and then gets it later on, or just flat out has the issue off the bat.

As an example to what the stutter looks like I have linked an Unlisted YouTube video that I uploaded.

Thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Techcnical Support Forums.

Refanone, could you provide a system report? This is done by going to the "Config' option on the Final Fantasy XIV launcher and to the right of 'System Information' click on 'Display.'

Hope to see you online

Ok, here it is. Not sure if there are any spoiler commands we can use to not have a super long post...

Thank you for the reply,

Please update the graphics drivers as it looks like there was one released on the 15th. Please also try doing a cleanboot by opening the task manager and select the 'Start up' Tab. Disable everything here and restart the PC.

Hope to see you online!

I am on the current Nvidia drivers, 417.71 . I have also done a clean boot when I just reformatted my PC 2 days ago. Issue was still present.

I have found the issue. Surprisingly it is Netflix again. I thought Nvidia had fixed that issue but it seems to keep crawling back into the drivers. >.<

Thank you for the reply Refanone.

You said the issue was Netflix? Do you mean as in running the website along with FFXIV?

Hope to see you online !
