Additional Data Needed Regarding GPU Utilization Issues

[duvvvv]

thanks to this thread, I took notice of my GPU (GTX 1060), and realized it's also at 100% usage when running this game at an alarming 83c temp.
my issues usually involve my ISP so I kinda ignored the GPU side til now.
I guess I'll tweak my settings and see if it persists.

Good afternoon and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

To get a better understanding of the issue, I'd like to ask a few questions:

1) What Graphics Card are you using?
2) What is the resolution, graphical setting, and frame rate you are getting (both pre and post patch)?
3) Some of you have reported major dips in frame rate, does your GPU utilization reach 100% at this time?
4) Does this happen constantly or is it restricted to only a few areas?
5) Is this accompanied by any graphical glitches?
6) Please list everything you have tried to alleviate the issue

We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!

1) GTX1080
2) 2560x1440, Custom settings, mostly everything max with Occlusion Culling enabled, FPS i don't know but feels like it's a big difference.
3) Yes, it goes all the way up to max usage.
4) I need more testing as i haven't been playing the game i logged in for patch but is mostly to keep my House, however i remember very well it was never this bad, i can't even stream at all because the performance gets another hit from streaming which is barely noticeable in any other games i play and also on this game, i've tried other games just in case and they perform fine, games that are also more demanding.
5) No graphical glitches that i've noticed.
6) Install an older driver after cleaning with DDU, change Power Plan to max, i play with FPS lock of 60 as always did since my Monitor is 60Hz only anyway, i've tried removing the FPS limiter and the FPS is worse than it used to be. I also Disabled FullScreen Optimizations in compatibility options for the executable, disabled GameDVR.

PS: I'm on Windows 10 version 1803 and this is a fresh install not an update through Windows update.

Here's a few screenshots as example:

It goes up to 30% usage just on main menu: https://i.imgur.com/RoBlXdq.jpg

Limsa 60FPS with lots of people 75% Usage: https://i.imgur.com/qkMuNUZ.jpg

Lavender Beds no one around 75% usage: https://i.imgur.com/zvPYE96.jpg

Date & Time: not time specific
Frequency: very often
World Name: Gilgamesh
Character Name: Adavon Locklet
Party or Solo: either
In-Game Time: any
Area and Coordinates: any

GPU performance change before and after you started having the issue: performance wise there was no difference, the game will just crash instantly, with no stutter or frame drops

GPU: MSI Ventus RTX 2060 6GB
Driver Version: have tried Nvidia Driver version from 460.89 through 471.41
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
RAM: 32GB total (2 sets of: HyperX Fury 16GB 3200MHz DDR4 CL16 DIMM (Kit of 2)
Hard Drive: CORSAIR FORCE Series MP510 960GB NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 SSD
(have also tried having the game installed on a 2TB Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm Drive)
OS: Windows 10
OS Version: from 1909 to 21H1 all versions have this issue
Graphics Settings: all presets will have issue did turn off :real time reflections and screen space ambient occlusion
FPS Limit: No limit

Game runs flawlessly until it just instantly closes on me with no error, or if there is an error will either be having reference to nvwgf2umx.dll or ffxiv_dx11+xxxxxxx error messages using MSI afterburner, CPUID HWMonitor, and GPU-Z have confirmed every time it crashes it had very high to max GPU utilization

the only thing that seems to help is to limit fps to 72 or 60 (144hz monitor either set to 144hz or limited to 60hz) this seems to limit utilization to roughly 50% to 75%

1) What Graphics Card are you using? : MSI Ventus RTX 2060 6GB

2) What is the resolution, graphical setting, and frame rate you are getting (both pre and post patch)? : 1920 x 1080

3) Some of you have reported major dips in frame rate, does your GPU utilization reach 100% at this time? : no fps drops just instantly crashs

4) Does this happen constantly or is it restricted to only a few areas? : constanly and in any location, have not had a location in game that i haven't crashed in

5) Is this accompanied by any graphical glitches? : no artifacting or glitches have happened

6) Please list everything you have tried to alleviate the issue :
- clean install of windows 10 only programs installed is steam and FFxiv (steam overlay off)
- DDU GPU drivers and attempted every driver since December 2020
- underclocked core clock and memory
- clean installs of windows 10 1909/2004/20h2/21h1

GPU performance change before and after you started having the issue: Used to run at a smooth 60 fps on maximum settings. Now it runs at ~40-57 (upper end) on High(Desktop). Whenever I check utilization, my CPU is maxing out from XIV alone, and my GPU is high on utilization as well.

In-Game Time: any time
Area and Coordinates: Happens anywhere
Steps:
1. Login
2. Move around anywhere
3. Suffer severe fps drops from high gpu usage at random times

GPU performance change before and after you started having the issue: GPU used to run very smoothly before (late June-ish perhaps) and then started having serious issues using about 98%, which causes horrible framerate drops at random points. Framerate drops seem to occur anywhere, under any circumstance, regardless of what is going on around. I drop from 60fps to like 4fps instantly.

Party or Solo: Both
In-Game Time: Anytime
Area and Coordinates: Anywhere
Steps:
1. Nothing needed I just start up the game and its at 100% GPU use the moment I leave the character select screen and load into the game.
2. Ive done clean installs using DDU
3. Tried fixing both graphics and sound drivers
4. Tried overclocking, underclocking, but changing anything from the standard settings only makes the error occur faster.



GPU performance change before and after you started having the issue: 1% before and
straight up to 100%

GPU: RTX 2080TI Phoenix
Driver Version: 430.39 (has happened with many prior drivers as well)
CPU: intel i9 9900k
RAM: 16 GB
Hard Drive: Samsung Evo 970 M.2 1TB Drive
OS: Win 10 Pro 64 Bit
OS Version: 1809 (Build 17763.379)
Graphics Settings: Happends with both ultra and lowest settings
FPS Limit: (System Configuration > Display Settings > FPS Limit) tried without V-sync, 50,60 and 100FPS limited. doesn't matter.
At first when i changed FPS from 100 to 60 it did work fine for 3days straight. then it started crashing like crazy. fragmenting, bluescreen, blackscreen ..
All Direct x Fatal error 11000002



only change i made prior to the issue was getting a new Widescreen: Acer x34p
Worked fine for some reason with the old one, which was a standard 32" tv from samsung..

[RikuSaito]

so this started happening to me near the start of the year, i thought it was my Graphics card on my Riser Cable that was having the issue, i spoke to Nvidia to try and fix it as my GPU Usage was hitting 98-100% causing the game to have lag issues, they tried to help with uninstalling my GPU completely and reinstalling it didnt work, i spoke to ASUS they couldnt help and then spoke to my retailer who took my 1080TI for testing didnt find the fault but offered me a new RTX 2080 to see if that fixes it, so i uninstalled my GPU completely again and installed the latest drivers for the RTX 2080 and still have the issue.

so my 1080TI and now my RTX 2080 both have this high GPU Issue, if i limit my FPS down to 60 my GPU Usage drops like a stone and stays around 45%, Uncapped like i use to (FPS around 140 @ 2560*1080) my GPU hits 98-100% even on 1080p its 98-100%, there has to be something wrong here or the game isnt liking the Nvidia drivers

CPU: Intel Core i7 8700k @ 4.5GHZ (Overclocked)
GPU: (Previous) Asus Strix GTX 1080ti OC, (Now) Asus Strix RTX 2080 OC
Motherboard: Asus Maximus X Hero
Ram: 16GB G Skill DDR4
SSD: 500gb Samsung Evo 860 m.2 (game installed here)
Cooler: Custom Water Cooler (temps dont even hit above 45 Degrees C)
Nvidia Driver: always up to date so right now its 431.36

now the funny thing is before i built this PC i had a 4th gen i7, 16gb ddr3, msi gaming 3 board and a msi gtx 970, and i never had this issue lol, i ran the game on maximum with that and never once had an issue, i run the game maximum on here and get very high gpu usage on 2 cards that ive tried but now i have to cap my FPS in order to play without delays to skills and such

hope some of this info helps figure it out cause id like to uncap my FPS again without my GPU having a hissy fit and put my monitor back to 144hz while playing 14, i don't like having to limit my monitor and pc when it should literally laugh at what needs using
