Tried rolling back to several different drivers and it still continues. the only thing that drops the GPU usage is if i hard limit my FPS to 30 or less. And i know its not my GPU cause i can run newer games on at least middle range settings. so I think this is something to do with FF14. only thing i can think up is they tried to optimize something and buggered it and now its causing a huge increase in usage.

I'm changing out to a new hard drive tomorrow so that will require a fresh install of FF14 so ill post tomorrow if that changes anything
I appreciate it really much, that would clear up, if anything went wrong with drivers and such. Thank you in advance

P.S. my frames are limited to 60. Right now its dropping under it, before the problem occured it was over 100 when not limited with max settings. Just adding this, because it was mentioned^^
