My system specs (stock speeds on everything):

i5 2500k
8gb DDR3
GTX 680
Windows 7 64-bit

Graphics drivers I've tried:

*WHQL 314.07 -> worked great for all other games, but FF14 caused display driver crashes every 30-50 mins, followed by god awful performance
*BETA 326.80 -> game works great since installing these, not a single crash and performance is good in most places and just about acceptable in cities (~30fps is usually where I draw the line and that's about the lowest I get)

My ingame graphics settings:

- Borderless Windowed mode @ 1680x1050 native res



You don't think it odd that you're running custom settings to improve performance even though that card is easily able run it maxed out? perhaps CPU bottleneck though?
