GPU performance change before and after you started having the issue:
Noticed that my FPS was dropping to about 60 or even lower depending on what was going on in that area when I was typically getting 160+ while in raids or dungeons. Found out it was mainly linked to Limsa Lower Decks. Upper decks is slightly better hitting about 90-100. Went to Gridania and it was also at about 60. Non sanctuary areas were normal at 160+. When checking GPU-Z, the PerfCap Reason is listed as being idle while in Limsa Lower Decks. On the upper decks it will occasionally spike up in usage which would explain the slightly higher FPS. Here is a short clip of it recorded in OBS using window captures. The FF14 window is the active window the entire time of the clip. The setting to lower FPS when the window isn't active isn't checked as well.
