Also i have UAC disabled and play in windowed mode, so its not that causing the directx error. Its a known issue with the game it has trouble with reacquiring the device once it loses it (just poor programming nothing can fix this except the new 2.0 engine)

And to the person who keeps bitching that nvidia isnt listening, the Nvidia forums were hacked. Thats why they have been down (investigating the breach). Nvidia does listen, and this problem is pretty much all Squares fault anyway. Even is the device gets lost more with the 600 series, any decently written game should be able to handle it.
Yeah i tested, it seems to be only DoF, maybe AO as well but i never used that. The clock speed changing doesn't make it crash. Nothing to do with which driver you use. Have not crashed once since turning DoF off.

And yes, the game crashing over DirectX is SE's problem but what's causing it to do that is Nvidia's problem. It's not like i'm alt tabbing here, i'm not even in full screen mode. My old GTX460 and 560Ti never crashed due to this problem. So since it's only the 600 series, yeah it's Nvidia's problem.
