You're gonna have to do some digging for the last driver to properly support the 2xxs.

I think it might be 314.xxish?

One thing I've seen resolve the issue in other games is going into the nvidia control panel and trying the different settings for "maximum pre-rendered frames."
Be aware that lower settings like 1 or 2 will drop your FPS, while higher settings will cause your GPU load to run higher. However, a good test is either 1 or 3, as both of those are generally a good gauge.

And for anyone else looking to try this option, if you're running SLI, you need to have atleast 2 on this particular setting, since that's how SLI works.

And @Xoriam, if it works for you, rock on! The 347.xx drivers were the best, since anything later is when nvidia decided that QA wasn't worth it. Or something.

Another thing of note is if you're still having blackscreen issues (anyone) to go back and try disabling the Nvidia HD audio device and swap off of an HDMI to a DVI cable if possible. Also update your onboard audio drivers. The default windows ones tend to make a lot of systems take a massive dump for some mysterious reason.

Hooked software isn't a bad lead for some possibly. I personally don't have any apps running in the background. However the vast majority of your other possibilities would all become easily apparent to us, sense I'm sure most have many many other games they play, that require all of those things to be in check. And no other game has a issue like this. And sense FFXIV was late to the party with DX11, its not a issue due to other games not using DX11.
