    Need some Tech help - Low fps

    Hey, I just returned to the game and I don't remember the FPS being this bad.

    GTX 1080 - newest Driver.
    I7 - 6700 -4.0Ghz
    32 Ram
    Windows 10

    FPS stuck at 50-60, slightly lower in the recordings because of the recording method.
    Fps doesn't change regardless of how I adjust the settings.
    Even rebooted the client after going from max to lowest and didn't have a FPS difference.
    And only 10 FPS difference going from DirectX11 to 9

    DirectX 11:

    DirectX 9:
    https://puu.sh/CJZUt/0be450ab74.mp4

    Task manager performance on DirectX 11 Maximum settings: https://puu.sh/CK0wD/1328287593.mp4

    Nvidia control panel settings: https://puu.sh/CK0yq/8877784446.mp4
    Say if you see any oddities, it has been altered a few times in a past for the benefit of other games.

    Things that I've tried:
    Nvidia experience; using "optimize" through that.
    Nvidia control panel> PhysX> forcing it to use the GPU on PhysX at all times.
    Disabling Windows 10 Game mode option.

    And that's about as much self-help I could get out of googling "FF14 low fps" "FF14 fps issues".

    I know that in the HW expansion I was playing around with settings as well because I bought a 120hz Monitor and back then I could hit 120 steady FPS EASILY.
    So now I'm turning to the forums. will also post this in tech help section.

    2 years old, never reinstalled windows, I keep my PC PG and relatively clean and for motherboard drivers I assume they update along with Gforce drivers with the Nforce platform and regardless, highly doubt it's related to that as it's localized to FF14 being the only Game on my PC that seems to struggle.

    Example just to be relevant.

    Apex legends. 100-120 FPS highest settings. https://puu.sh/CK108/eeda82dc37.mp4

    if it is localized to 14 I suggest the technical support section of these forums. it could be an issue with your setup the devs don't know about yet.
