Wich upgrade is better (vga or processor)?

yanbwerneckub17_ESO · October 2015

Hey guys, these are my specs:

.Geforce 760
.i5-3330
.8 gb ram

With those I can play with max Graphics in almost everywhere , but when Im in the Alliance war it laggs like hell. I got a budget to buy something new . What do you guys think its better to solve that issue , upgranding the vga or the processor?Sorry for my bad english and thank you for your time

Alliance war lags because of server issues. But if you want to maximize your fps vga would be best. I5 is good enough to run it unless you plan on streaming.
I'm currently running a i7 6700k, 16g, 2 gtx 980 ti's in sli. Runs like a dream.

Thank you sir! Do you know if the devs have plans to correct this issue?

Well they been saying they are working on it (been so long I don't recall the exact time they said it). But with the other bugs that need attention as well as new content they want to push through to keep customers happy (which will add other bugs/issues that need to be addressed as well). I couldn't give you a time frame. Some devs have said they think it's a customer hardware problem, but with my computer set up as well as fiber optics Internet (1 gig/sec) I'm certain it's not on the customer end. If I wasn't such a elder scrolls fan I would have probably gave up/left game already. I hope they fix it soon, because this franchise/game series is to awesome to go under.

This has been an issue since release and they are still looking into it............

I do NOT see a fix in the near future as i think this is a major design flaw and would require a total rework of the system to make it work...

@Zennimax - Please prove my last statement wrong.....

Setting the game on few local servers instead of one megaserver for all Europe could help in this issue, but I'm no expert. Is this option considered by Zenimax by the way?

Sounds like dedi servers which you are referring too, or dedicated servers, which you get on the Battlefield games, which runs well and minimal or no lag at all, with way more intense action and players ingame than there is ever on ESO hehe.

MMO games are not my forte, FPS and strategy games are, but the tech would not work for a MMO I do not think, unless you log in to a special fingy for your persistent stuff, i.e gear etc then pick a dedi server for a PvP campaign for example then log in, similar to Battlelog for BF4.

OP your rig is fine, but CPU could be upgraded, as it will bottleneck in heavy fighting.

Then upgrade your gfx card afterwards.

Thanks guys,it was very helpfull .I found out that the main cause of the lags was some adds that werent updated.It still lags a bit but as SHADOW2KK said I will upgrade my cpu.Thank you for your time.

I found out that grass is somehow lagging on my rig so I play with grass turned off.
It also helps in finding alchemy ingredients from far distance, an extra advantage

Btw for the game servers, I had in mind rather SWTOR multi servers, than Battlefield. As another MMO, SWTOR is comparable with ESO and uses separated servers for English, German and French speaking players, also for pve and pvp playing styles. That I hope to see in ESO some day.

PS. vamp_emily, you get Full HD resolution on 17,3 inch display?

Ah sorry didn't notice it's a laptop, not a desktop
