Can someone smarter than me help? (graphics card issue)

I know the game is pretty much over, but a week ago I switched out my card from a ASUS Radeon HD 7970 to a EVGA GTX680, mostly because i am getting a new monitor in the near future and might want to try 3D gaming/movie watching.

Anyhoo, when I got everything installed and up and running the graphics for FFXIV are all fuckered up(best way I have to describe it...see video below). I have verified all current drivers are installed and I have even done a complete re-instal of the game and nothing has worked. Anyone can help?

FYI the reason I want to get this fixed is I am trying to FRAPS the cutscenes for personal reasons (maybe future videos or something) Right now they are just comically horrible...

The link below is a short video of what is happening. Everything in the foreground is functioning fine, but the background is all kinds of wonky. And this is ONLY FFXIV. Skyrim, Assassins Creed III Borderlands II and GW2 all work flawlessly.

Thanks in advance for any help can give.

prolly a stupid question (I'm full of em) but where can I find a list of cards that are/aren't compatible?

Did you do a through cleaning of the ATI drivers off your PC? Moving from an ATI driver to a Nvidia one (or the other way around) can definitely cause problems if some parts of the old driver remain.

I did a uninstal from the windows 7 control panel of the Catalyst software. If there is more 'cleaning' than that required then I'd have to say no, I didnt.

I get the same problem with Tridef 3D, others have this issue too.

SE demoed 3D, however I don't think it's officially supported.

Do you get same problem with 3D off?

3D is supported but not recommended for the 1.0 game. There will possibly be support for ARR in the near future.

I dont have tridef 3D on. My monitor doesnt currently support it but I will be fixing that soon.

Sorry I probably confused you with Tridef 3D. Was trying to ask if you are trying to play FFXIV with 3D on or off?

I use Tridef 3D because I have a Samsung S27A950D monitor. It's ideal monitor for an AMD video card.

With Nvidia card it's best to use a 3d monitor that supports NVIDIA 3D Vision.

Are you using latest drivers from Nvidia Website?

I have a GTX 680, I haven't tested with FFXIV 1.0 since I bought it. I'll reinstall 1.0 to see if I have same issue.

I logged into FFXIV yesterday to test out my new GTX680, and the only problem I had was extreme blurryness.

Turning off FXAA fixed it, but no problem such as the OP.

My Asus GTX 680 Directcu II OC works fine:

If latest drivers don't fix the problem. You probably need to do what Abriael said to completely clean out old drivers. I used to use Driver Sweeper to completely remove old drivers. Careful where you download this program, I see forums saying newer version contains OpenCandy. There's other tools such as atiman or you can follow a guide to do it manually.

yea you did confuse me a bit with the tridef lol, but still no 3d or tridef 3d is on. Also have all the new drivers installed. I just reinstalled them from that website just to be sure... nothing.

Weird. I use a GTX670 and never seen anything like that. It's as if the backdrop is zoomed in way too much.

I'd suggest what someone else already did: Driver Sweeper or similar program. Get rid of both the AMD and NVIDIA drivers and then clean install the NVIDIA ones.

gtx680 is too new and they didnt touch the drivers for the game in awhile. so in ARR it should work.
