The system report is for the current Alienware 17r4.

NVidia support called the other day and had me try the new drivers and video the stuttering, and how it doesn't stutter with the older drivers. As for working on a known issue, they've been saying that to me for months in email, in regards to their drivers not working properly for FFXIV in 4k mode and this stutter that I have - but it's been over a year now.

It's basically a software issue, or the old drivers would have the same problem. I think Nvidia is trying to figure out if it's an issue with how SE has programmed the game or an issue with their drivers.. but it's taking WAY too long.
