    Some of that lag is server side.

    I kinda thought that because it was running smooth before an update around 3 weeks ago

    I am starting to notice some "Lag" which is more like graphics stuttering in some places, especially during areas that change "phases" and what not

    Would repairing the game do much?

    If it's a sudden change or congested area than ya, it's probably server side. I always make sure to close the eso launcher now though.

    I agree...I think sometimes lag is server side or even on your ISP's network, but make sure you have a decent video card as well, or run dual cards like I do. The other system specs you mentioned sound fine.

    Also agreeing with above comments, upgrade all drives(always). Go right to nVidia if you have a card that uses their drivers. They just released drivers not long ago that greatly improve performance for many games.

    Another thing has has helped me with many games is a solid state drive.

    Also, some people never seem to like to turn off their computers. A reboot in those cases fix MANY issues.
