Fatal DirectX Error 11000002 - Still Happening

I had same same issue and this was my solution;

First make sue drivers on GC are up to date, go get the latest Direct X, should be 12.

Make sure your GC matches both your Monitor and game settings as well this can sometimes conflict or cause those problems. After I cross referenced these and insured everything was up to date I haven't had any problem since. Also if your system isn't a 64 bit you may need to lower some other specs. Try running benchmark on it to insure your not over running your GC which can cause that problem.

Thank you, but everything is up to date, DX, my GC drivers, all of it, updated from the GC manufacturer. I have a 64bit system, so I don't have that problem. What do you mean about settings matching? I have my resolution set to my monitor's specifications. I'm not sure I follow. And are you referring to the old HW Official Benchmark, or something else? Last time I ran it, it just popped out a score and quality.

Edit: Running the HW Benchmark again using my current settings popped out "Extremely High, 10830" without any issues occurring.

Also as a note, I'm using the optimal settings recommended to me by Nvidia GeForce Experience, so it shouldn't be over what the card can handle.

For example the settings from my monitor can vary. I had to change the type of port. From HDMI to Display port. I have a LG 27UD68-P 27" 16:9 4K UHD FreeSync IPS Monitor which conflicted with the graphics card settings. I had to manually go in and made sure everything matched with settings / monitor/ and game settings ( a pain ) before it gave me no problems. Sometimes the data transfers can cause DX to crash either do to the information being transmitted and your system catching up to it on the back ground. There could be times for example your switching zones and thing freeze up or doesn't appear to be loading while the sound contradicts and you can hear it on the back ground, crops or walls missing ect. Seems that out of all my games FFXIV is the one where I had to run a special profile settings when being played so it runs properly. It can be a bother but love playing it in 4k. Also is your GTX 1080 an MSI , ASUS, EVGA ? Try using a Display port if you can it helped me after I was stuck like you myself were I couldn't figure it out after matching everything.

I currently use a display port for my primary monitor, on which I have FFXIV running. My GTX 1080 is from EVGA. How would I go about investigating such settings, finding conflicts, and resolving them? I consider myself to be very techy, yet have never heard of GPU/Monitor conflicts before unless you're trying to force it to run at a resolution not possible on your monitor.
