FPS stutter/drop fix (Works for AMD and Intel)
Hey all i have been having FPS issues with ESO since the beginning and up until now have thought it was a problem with the client. I have spent hours and hours on google looking for fixes to my fps problems but nothing i tried worked until i launched CPU-Z and found out that my CPU was spiking.
From what i have discovered, the main problem especially to AMD users is that power saving contingencies built into BIOS and or windows that can seriously cause your CPU to spike.
1 - You can try unparking your cores. You can do this by downloading UnparkCPU (Google it as im too lazy to link :P)
2 - If that does not work then you need to go into bios and find power saving function for your CPU, For Asus/Asrock the option is called Cool and Quiet and it is located in your CPU section of the bios. (I am unsure of the other Motherboards name of the function but it should stand out) Basically this function with stop your CPU from going into idle and keep peak speeds at all times (BEWARE this can cook your mobo/cpu if you are overclocked and or have insufficient airflow in your case)
3 - IF YOU HAVE A AMD BULLDOZER CPU DOWNLOAD THIS HOTFIX FROM MICROSOFT (Optimizes scheduling for tasks to be shared across all cores) - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2645594
Hopefully one of these fixes will help you out like it did me.

Saerydoth✭✭✭✭Option #3 is only required for Win7. Win8 has a different scheduler and does not require any hotfixes.
Also, Cool & Quiet only caused performance issues with the original Athlon and Phenom. The problem was fixed with the Athlon 2/Phenom 2 and later processors. If you've got an ORIGINAL Athlon or Phenom though, you may want to turn this off.0 -
Socratic✭✭✭I think GIGABYTE is called thermal monitor, but I'll keep mine on as it doesn't spike or drop unless it has to. Not to mention my cooling sucks, getting a new case Aerocool xpreditor 3x devil.Edited by Socratic on 19 April 2014 17:420 -
I forgot to mention that option 3 is only for Win7 my bad. Also cool and quiet caused issues with my cpu AMD FX 8120 and i have a Asrock 970 extreme 4. In the end disabling cool and quiet fixed all my problemsEdited by Pyrodious on 20 April 2014 00:240
