Basically none of the drivers past 3/28/18 work right for XIV. They stutter and eventually crash.

Are you playing in 4K resolution? It seems if playing on 1080p, the video cards can power through the issue, but in 4K it can unless you run dual video cards.

I’ve been dealing with this issue for a year with NVidia with them FINALLY responding and calling me last week. I’ve messages numerous times on the tech support forums for XIV with no resolution from SE.

The unfortunate thing with an RTX, they weren’t available a year ago so rolling back to that date won’t work for you.
Its not stutter, well yeh it is stutter but massive FPS loss as well. Ive even used external FPS monitoring softwre

Read my 2nd or 3rd post with the details.

Im still waiting on a response from the forum admins who apparently are hoping that I eventually forget about the issue.

I didnt even get a response form their technical support when I made a ticket other then a generic copy and paste answer.
