New GTX 327.23 Driver released today. Anyone have any issues that have been resolved?

I know I had issues with driver crashes on my GTX 670 GPU, and the only fix was to under clock my graphics card. So wondering if this recent driver update has helped with driver crashes in FFXIV. Post your thoughts, experiences, and maybe new issues!

No idea, I have a gtx 770 myself and I've noticed some strange things that I'm not sure are game related or driver related. Will try it out!

I switched from 314.22 because the game forced me it on me with constant driver crashes.

Haven't noticed any crashes with this yet, but using the any of the fps limiters caused microstutter where it wasn't present in 314.22. I had to turn off frame limit and turn on vsync manually in the nvidia control panel. Seems to be gone now, but that doesn't work in windowed/windowed fullscreen modes.

I still haven't been able to resolve the one issue that's huge to me and that's the random every 20 second slowdown even with fraps and recorded videos not showing it. This tells me the game has no proper way of syncing your fps to your monitor's refresh rate outside of fullscreen. Has anybody else has this issue?

Edit: I guess forget about the microstutter being gone. I guess I should be surprised considering all of the problems I've read with this driver are microstuttering in games.

If you are having to underclock it from stock settings, you likely have issues outside the scope of a driver fix--as in hardware related issues.

I've an EVGA 780 GTX SC with the EVGA cooler.
While everything is kinda smooth the FPS fall to 30 when pointing the camera towards a town's market for example. The card load doesn't go over 80-85%.
I don't get if it's a driver issue or a game limit. I've tried different drivers, too.

isn't 327.23 the WHQL for 326.80 Beta drivers? Also, it didn't fix my window switching to desktop from fullscreen. haven't taken the time to really play in congested areas. If the two driver packages are the same, no change to status.

It solved no issues. And introduced one rather horrid show stopping one instead.
Namely, no longer rendering in 3D.

Ah, that would explain it... 326.80 didnt like the game at all when I tried them a couple weeks back.

I'll install these drivers and try them when the servers are back up.

Gonna driversweep 326 and try these new ones. ?will post results.

Crashing a bit more on my GTX 670 with these drivers, reverting.

I think we need to wait for actual drivers where they list FFXIV:ARR as being supported/improved. =\

How could I test or find out if it is indeed hardware issues? I've used furmark to benchmark and see how it performed and it did very well.

Does it happen in any other graphically intensive games?
What temps are you getting while playing?

I am running a 680GTX and I have that EXACT issue. The way I fixed it was by updating to 327.23, in Nvidia control panel adding Final Fantasy XIV Realm Reborn to 3D settings under the "Program Settings" tab, forcing vertical sync on and making power management mode "Prefer maximum performance". I then had to make sure my game was running in Full Screen mode. Boarderless windowed did not seem to get any of the nvidia control panel manual settings implemented.

Hope this fix helps you! My system seems to be stable with the above mentioned steps.

I was previously having issues with driver resets using 314.22 on my 670.

326.80 fixed those errors, and it's also been fine since I went to 327.23

Generally, you are looking at issues centered around heat and/or power if you are having issues with GPU/RAM timings. Typically, you run into this when overclocking--if you are running into problems requiring you to reduce it from stock clocks, then there is something physically wrong with your card or it's environment. Double check things like power supply, ventilation, fan/heatsink, etc. to make sure those main elements are stable and such.

I've had the 327.23 drivers for a couple days now. Absolutely 0 crashes with my GTX 670. =)

Same here with my GTX 760. I installed the 327.23 drivers on the day they were released and I've had no crashes at all.
