Strangest Framerate Issues

[Rymitavix]

I just added a monitor to my setup and all of a sudden I am getting absolutely ABYSMAL FPS. I went from playing @ 3440x1440 @ 70-90FPS all the way down to and incredibly jittery 25 or so. I have tried the following fixes:

- Adjust framerate in game
- Turn down settings in game
-Unplug the added monitors
- Install new drivers for everything, including GPU (RTX 4070S) and all monitors
- Reset CPU BIOS
- MSI Afterburner
- Reinstall Windows 11 (yes, the issue is persisting across this!)

I have been working on this for over ten hours and have gotten nowhere. I have used chatgpt to death to try to fix it. I highly suspect it's something to do with frame syncing because the GPU is TRYING to work but it's fluctuating between 35W and 150W output. I get a 2 second burst of proper FPS and then it settles into another lull.

This is completely unplayable. I would really appreciate some help.

Greetings Adventurer!

We would like to assist with your concern. Please try the following to see if they help:
- Try switching to DirectX 9 by selecting the ‘Config’ button on the launcher.
- Perform a clean boot by opening the task manager and select the 'Start up' Tab. Disable everything.
- Please be sure to disable or remove any overlays (Discord, Steam, NVIDIA etc.) as they may interfere with startup.
- Make sure that the Windows OS is fully updated.
- Install game on different drive to see if you still receive this issue.
- Unplug the first monitor and only plug in the second to see if the issue happens on that monitor only. (Check both monitors by themselves)
- Reinstall game once you have done everything mentioned above.

If you do not see an improvement, please feel free to respond to this thread for further troubleshooting.

Thank you for contacting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.
