Tweaks for a low-mid range PC

xForcer

Hi guys

I've been waiting to play this game for a long long time. I FINALLY GOT IT AND I AM HYPED.
Problem is, my game stutters a lot and I want to tweak it just fine. I don't need 60 fps, 40 fps stable would suffice.

My PC:

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ (Dual core, 3.0 GHZ)
GPU: GTX 560 Ti Overclocked
RAM: 4 GB
My screen resolution is very low, well my monitor is small (1024x768)

All I want is to at least have MEDIUM texture quality, everything else is not so important.

So, if anyone could tell me which setting is a performance hog, what do I need/ do not need .
Any help is great.

Thank you all
Regards

You will want to reduce as much pressure from the cpu as possible. You may do this by turning off shadows as well turning all of your particle systems and draw distance down as far as you are comfortable with. Also other special effects such as grass, bloom etc should be turned off.

Hope that helps!

I have a laptop that I use occasionally. I was having horrible camera control as well as hitching.

I did this (Found a dev post )http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/136504/stuttering-not-fps

Here is the info from that link:
There are also a few settings in the Usersettings.txt file that you can change to improve your performance. Please close ESO first, then make these changes. This file is located at Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\Live.

As with any document change, we advise creating a back up of the original file in an alternate location. This will allow you to restore your usersettings to their old values in case the new ones are less optimal.

Simply open the file with Notepad and make the following changes:

Change:
SET GPUSmoothingFrames "10"
To:
SET GPUSmoothingFrames "3"

Change:
SET PreferExclusiveFullscreen "0"
To:
SET PreferExclusiveFullscreen "1"

Find this section and Change:

SET RequestedNumJobThreads "-1"
SET RequestedNumWorkerThreads "-1"
To:
SET RequestedNumJobThreads "0"
SET RequestedNumWorkerThreads "0"



This is what I did after I changed my user settings:
I then went in the set the graphics to Low
Turned supersampling to Medium ** Supersampling on high drops me right down to 10 fps***
Turned Textures to High
Turned shadows to Low
Turned on Ambient occlusion
Turned view distance to 30
Turned off grass
Have AA tuned on
Have Vsync turned on
Play in Fullscreem mode

Under camera settings
Third Person
Rotation speed 10
Field of View 130




I get around 30 fps wich is good to run the game and the game looks decent.


Hope some of this helps

Thanks guys for all the help. I'll try out these things and let you know if I managed to get a playable game.

Well, I tried those settings out but no good. If I set from "-1" to "0" (requested things) then I don't have stutters so much but everything is loading very long. I mean, NPCs take too long to spawn while other players are black and standing. Lowering shadows and other things didn't help at all. I think this isn't about graphic, it's my CPU that can't handle this game at all.
