Thank you for the update linnyxito7, this information was very helpful.

If I'm understanding you correctly, the game stutters and the frame rate dips momentarily, then goes back to normal a moment later? This seems to drop 10-20 fps relative to the max FPS (so if you have 100 FPS, it will drop to 90-ish, if it's maxed at 60, it will drop to 40-50).

Open the Nvidia Control Panel, find FFXIV and in the V-Sync options, select "On" or "Override Application" (this should lock it to 60). Or select "Adaptive (half refresh rate)" to lock it at 30. Keep the in-game limiter off. I'd like to see how this affects the stuttering, since the game is not listening to the in-game frame rate limiter in a few of these cases.

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