GTX680 And Losing DirectX Device

[Ratm3000]

Not really an SE issue, it is a Driver problem. For now, just turn off Ambient Occlusion. The issue has been reported and ManuelG has said the driver team will investigate the issue. As for myself, SLI seems to wreck havoc with this game. I crash no matter where I am or what I do. Drivers need major help.

I don't get many crashes except for when I am in Uldah but I think I fixed it by turning off SYNC. Drivers still lacking but can't wait for the fixes cuz this card is bad ass.

We know it's not SE's fault, but they gotta put pressure at nvidia to make them care about it. Regarding SLI, there is no gain with SLI and final fantasy xiv, besides crashes. That's why I sold my sli 480 gtx back then and got one gtx 580. Worked wonders.now got the gtx 680 and crashes started due to the directx bug.

There are gains with SLI. When I had GTX470 SLI I never dropped from 60 FPS. Also had zero issues with SLI till the 600 Series. When I went to a single GTX580 I was anywhere from 40FPS to 60FPS.

Now I have GTX680 SLI with the latest Beta and I have yet to have issues. I had AO and DoF Disabled during the testing for that. Will have it Enabled for today to see what happens. Was also always at a constant 60 FPS.

I do not think the Drivers were my real issue. I actually had a 24 Pin Melt Down and was getting a voltage drop that would go all the way to 10.33 Volts on the 12 Volt line before the Computer would crash.

I tested the sli during beta phase and there was no gains because of constant crashes. I dont know now after the patches if they did something for sli. I know nvidia didn't. All drivers never mentioned improvement to final fantasy using sli. I deactivated ambient occlusion and it seems the crash with 680 sli stopped. It is a band aid fix, and we need a fix for that. Ambient occlusion gives a great look to the game and for us that spent that much on this card is a must to have on.

I took my cards out and put my GTX580 back in. There is a new Beta driver that unifies all the GPU's but not going to retest until I know for sure it works. I would have to disconnect my card from my water cooling loop, be a hassle, so I will wait for others to report back here I hope.

Its still a problem...I installed the beta drivers 301.24 and it worked great till I tried to start the game again...Going to see if maybe I need to reboot the PC every time I start FFXIV.

Any official response from the dev team? Posted the same at nvidia.com and others have the same problem.
