Fog graphic glitches on NVidia GTX 970 (pictures)

Whats your CPU?

Nvidia's drivers do tend to have a bit more CPU overhead in their runtime, FF14 only seems to scale up to 4 threads, so 40% sounds like it'd be a quad core with hyperthreading?

I took some screenshots of the games cpu loading on nvidia's drivers a while back.

my system is an i7 920 at 3.8ghz with a GTX 680, the drivers when took these were 337.50 iirc.

I have a i5-4690k at 4.6ghz

Are you playing with occlusion culling on or off?

Depending on location, this can make a big difference to cpu usage and allow the gpu to get more onscreen data to process.

Well I didn't think i'd have to disable anything, but i've tried it with occlusion on and off

Borderless window or fullscreen?

btw, Occlusion Culling on stops the rendering of things that aren't actually in view . . the game defaults to rendering everything, even if its behind a wall.

Good to know! I play on fullscreen 1920 x 1080

Well, it does seem to be the case that pure DX9 apps seem to work better on amd parts, but things should change alot once the D3D11 client comes out.

Ah, im hoping that's the case, if you have any more suggestions please let me know and the help is much appreciated!

you don't happen to run gamebooster or anything similar? had someone with a 660(non ti) experiencing reduced fps while that was in use some time back.

Nope, just the game itself no third party apps
