Hello,

I encountered this problem a few hours ago and have been attempting to troubleshoot it since, I'm uncertain what caused it since the game was running with no FPS issues prior to this before closing it out the day before. I'm unable to play the game either bordered or borderless window/fullscreen at full resolution and screen size without the framerate going down to around 5 - 15 FPS. Usually I'm able to run the game in at least 30 - 60 FPS (graphics card: Nvidia 1660 Ti GTX).

In the past, if there have been FPS issues it was usually tied to RAM bandwidth on my machine, but in this case it seems to be local to FFXIV. Even when I observe that my memory is at 39-40% it does not seem to increase frame rate (while running the game at typical 30-60 FPS memory usage is around 45-48%). I can run other games with no performance issues under the same conditions.

There have been no Windows updates installed in the time between the last time the game was played without this issue and the first time the problem began this morning. I found somewhat of a workaround by opening the game in bordered mode on another monitor where I can run it at 20FPS, but it is a much smaller view (1550 x 890) and 20FPS is still lower than what I think the graphics card should be able to handle based on previous performance...Any help would be appreciated.

Graphics Settings: Standard (Desktop)
