Need some Tech help - Low fps

[miqi]

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:

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.
