ESO Poor Graphics? MacBook Pro

E0K7

Soul Shriven
I have been running ESO on my Mac for a while now.
Here is my Machine:
OS X Yosemite
Version 10.10.2
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel Iris 1536 MB

I have no idea why my graphics aren't what other people have. I tried running ESO on the highest graphics settings, but it didn't make a difference (If lag counts, it made a huge difference).
Is anyone else having this problem and does anyone have suggestions to help?

    The problem is your trying to play a very system taxing game on a mac pro. ESO hates integrated graphics...which is what you have.

    Switch to PC.

    telling someone to buy a new computer is a little gratuitous although you are right, if you want maximised graphics in a game you need a dedicated gaming machine

    My Macbook Pro experience is that ESO is in fact quite playable on low graphics settings (especially getting rid of all the ground clutter) with my distance settings still set out a fair way to see clearly further away

    Everyone knows the phenomenon of trying to hold your breath underwater - how at first it's alright and you can handle it, and then as it gets closer and closer to the time when you must breathe, how urgent the need becomes, the lust and the hunger to breathe. And then the panic sets in when you begin to think that you won't be able to breathe - and finally, when you take in air and the anxiety subsides...that's what it's like to be a vampire and need blood.

    btw - you might get some help tweaking your settings over on the Mac Tech forum ... I no longer play on a Mac (made the switch to a PS4) so can't help you with my settings
