    Running uncapped your GPU is at 100% utilization, so of course any other task it's asked to do will drop the framerate a bit. Why run XIV uncapped though? It's just creating a lot of waste heat, wearing out fans etc with no benefit. Competitive shooters I get, but not an MMO.

    Have to agree that running this game with Unlimited Frame Rate set to On is not wise.
    Not good for your Hardware especially if you play for hours at a time.

    I would cap it at 60 or at most 72 (144Hz).
