That is just amazing. Great thanks!Attorneyatlawl wrote: »
Download ESO Launcher and unpack it in your \game\client folder. Then launch esolauncher.exe. Take a look.EricGraham1987_ESO wrote: »Aw I figured as much but ah well. Know any good sweetfx presets?

First part's true. Second part.... not so much . There's a way to tell the game not to down-res its existing ones which it does even at the highest in-game settings currently. See below.EricGraham1987_ESO wrote: »Aw I figured as much but ah well. Know any good sweetfx presets?
Go to your elder scrolls online "live" subfolder inside of your Documents & Settings or "My Documents" folder. With the game fully closed and you on the desktop, open up "usersettings.ini" and find this line:
SET MIP_LOAD_SKIP_LEVELS "1"
Depending on your current in-game setting, it will be at a different number possibly. Change this to "-1", "-2", or "-3", and you will increase the visible texture resolution significantly by the time you try the "-3" setting, which is as far as it goes. By default the game mipmaps its textures from the sources on-disk even with the maximum in-game settings, as well as LOD downwards the models. Each of these progressively tells it to lower the amount it does this, with "-3" being the most you are allowed to set, also allocating and consuming the most VRAM and of course with it, lowering performance but looking much, much better.
For example, my settings file line looks like this:
SET MIP_LOAD_SKIP_LEVELS "-3"
Using 2x GTX 970 SLI and DSR'ing my 2560x1440 103hz native resolution up to 3620x2036 makes the game look absolutely great even compared to today's high-end single-player games . Try each one if -3 is too demanding for your system and see what works for you .

I run mine in 4k natively should I set some settings differently? And whats AMD's thing called? I run 2x290x. And for me 0 was the best setting. 3 made it look bad.

Make sure it's "-3", not "3". Negative 3 with the minus sign as @Devolus said. Positive 3 would be the in-game "low" setting . AMD calls their version of downsampling+smoothing "VSR".
Post back once you've tried the right one @EricGraham1987_ESO . You won't be disappointed!

It would be nice if they added higher resolution textures in the settings instead of having to mess with game files, though.

Took some screenshots and I have to say I see no objective difference. I play with everything maxed out except for shadows.
Any ideas?
That said I am using a SweetFX profile, but I don't think that should affect it at all. Here are the screens for reference:
0:
-1:
-2:
-3:
I need to favorite this coment. But how?Attorneyatlawl wrote: »SweetFX allowed.
