    Turn graphics to lowest setting, Turn shadows, reflections, bloom, lighting effects all off. Set view distance to minimum, set particles allowed to minimum. Turn all (if any) add ons off. Reload game.

    I have the recommended settings (for the game) on my PC and get about 45-60 FPS on High settings..

    Like RazzPitazz said, you turn alot of it off and set it as low as you can handle..

    I used to have the same FPS as you until i found a very helpful post that turned my FPS from 10 to 30 max, i'll post my Userdata file info.
    You can find the userdata under Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/Live
    This should increase your FPS by a lot more than what you have right now.

    Just know that the above fix has a 50/50 chance of working. Not everyone finds it successful.

    When tuning graphics settings, it makes a difference what overall Graphics Quality you start with. I mean, if you start with with Medium, it will enable character lighting, specular maps and lots of other fancy stuff that you can't turn off individually. So if you have really low FPS, start with overall Graphics Quality set to Low, then try increasing some. For example, I set subsampling to High because it doesn't cost me any frames, yet anything less is fugly. You will probably need to keep shadows and reflections off, as these are costly.
    and one more question how do I do the spoiler thing in replies?
    you can also use the formatting menu under the 6th icon from the left (looks like mirrored P)
