This certainly sounds like a GPU issue, can you reproduce crashes in other applications when GPU utilization hits 100% to try and narrow down if it's a problem isolated to FFXIV or a general issue with the card?
Does the card handle a stresstest like FurMark?
how can you tell if the directx error in my picture is related to ram? what did you do to find out its a ram issue?
