From what you've told me so far, it doesn't sound like the GPU itself is your problem (unless your 1080 and 960 happen to have the exact same issue). However, the motherboard issue may be contributing to it somewhat. As you mentioned, you may want to try the other graphics card slot. My thought is the one you are using may have an issue that might throttling Graphics memory bandwidth (this usually isn't an issue with FFXIV, I don't see why you would be hitting a memory bandwidth unless something is damaged).

I'm not sure if you have tried it already, but you might want to try a clean boot. Simply open the task manager and select the 'Start up' tab. Disable everything here and restart the PC. This will make sure that no background processes are interfering with the game. When you start the PC again, don't start any other programs or open any overlays (Steam overlay, Geforce Experience, etc.).

Please let us know if your other solutions changes your situation.

We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!
Thank you for getting back to me.

I will try and attempt my fix on Sunday. (it's been pushed back because of busy schedules), I shall also get back to you on the situation.
