    May want to look into setting the card to the reference clocks to see if it improves...just to rule that out. So many are overclocked out the box. Base clocks are 1.75GHz on the memory (7Ghz effective) and 1050 base on the core (boost 1178).

    Also may be worth looking at your PSU if you didn't upgrade that when upgrading the card or it has a lot of age on it. The reference design consumes right at 150w on it's own under normal conditions--can get up near 200W depending on configuration and load. Stack on the 45-95W your CPU may be eating (maybe more depending on model and clock), fans, drives, memory, everything else on the motherboard and USB devices and such...and you could easily be in the 400+ range before you know it. Even nvidia recommends a minimum of 500W of reliable power for the system.

    It's not a hardware issue, as this only happens on DirectX 11. Meanwhile every other game in my library plays fine.

    The thing is, AMD cards seem to have this problem as well:

    SE really should look into this matter.

    Same here, Salt, except I have an nvidia card. As for today, I've gotten two fatal DirectX errors in Camp Bronzelake.

    EDIT: FFXIV crashed a third time today at Camp Bronzelake. I don't know what is causing this.

    Well, ladies and gentlemen, a fix might be upon us! Today Nivdia released the new drivers (Nvidia GeForce/Ion 361.43 WHQL). I have installed them and just ran FFXIV for 4 hours without a single crash! With the previous drivers this was impossible. Maybe its just luck, but maybe these new drivers fixed our problem!

    I'll give it a shot now. I hope this works!

    EDIT: FFXIV encountered yet another Fatal DirectX Error while in Mor Dhona as I was riding back to town from the Tangle. So much for that fix.

    I am sorry to hear this. I have played for another 2 hours just now and still no crash. I will keep you all updated here.
