Reporting reproducable FPS killing bug, and solution

Here's an imgur showing FPS before and after applying FPS cap.

If it's the latest Nvidia Driver, then the solution would be to revert to a previous driver and report it to Nvidia. Which seems to be already the case, though Nvidia only needs to see it.

You can also enable a cap for FFXIV in the Nvidia Settings, which I would recommend either way, because of FFXIV's misbehaviour above 60 fps in regards of physics.
Can't ever suggest FFXIV's cap-option, because it seems to come along with something like a Vsync-behaviour, which is nonesense when you're using Gsync/Freesync.

While I agree that reverting is a solution, some people want to stay current with drivers and not downgrade for just one title. I also feel like if Square Enix fusses at Nvidia developer to developer, business to business, something is more likely to get fixed then if I complain to Nvidia.
