CPU bottlenecking.

DouDaWitzki

Hello there.
I was unaware where to post and i thought it would be better here.
1rst of all i have to sa the reactivity is nice and game is nice and all, there is ABSOLUTELY no complain about the game, i just want to ask a question, please dont take it like a complain.

I wanted to know if there is a way you could limit the CPU bottlenecking on ESO ? If yes, is it planned ? If is it planned, when ?

Thanks !

From my experience, this game does not use multiple cores of a CPU very well. Cores 1, 3 & 4 can be at 30% while core 2 can be at 80%.

There isn't much you personally can do to solve this, but if you are getting performance problems, you can try to remove the core parking with an application and set them all to 100%. However, this won't make the game use your CPU any more effectively, because the balance between cores just isn't great at this current time.

Good luck!

Are you having fps drops or do you experience other problems?

Hello.

No, im just experiencing low fps where i shouldnt have.
45 FPS on east march in ultra settings.

Its not my GPU, since i have same FPS in 600x400 than 3200x1550 (or so)

Specs :
AMD R9 290X
I5-2500k OC 4.4Ghz
8go RAM 1333Mhz
W7 64bits

I have some issues:
FX4100, 8gb, gtx660
Long story short.. I play on ultra. 30-40 fps in empty spaces... but all of a sudden my fps goes as low as 10 for few seconds. Checked cpu usage and one core was 100%. Didn't had these issues till around few weeks ago.

Some people say the CPU is a big issue laterly...

Well i've experienced very nice increase in performance by decreasing viex distance from 100 to 75.
Not a really visual impact, but still.

I think the rendering/popping/whaterveryoucallthis is done by thr CPU, but im no expert.
I dont know if this is gonna change (the multithreading i mnea, not the fact that the CPU handles the thing)

Since I see you're using an AMD GPU, make absolutely sure (since this game uses the Havok physics engine, which is AMD), that physics computation isn't being offloaded to your CPU instead being performed on your GPU (you may have to force this type of setting in your GPU's driver control panel).

Well ill check into thatn thanks for advice.
Any tips on where i could do that ? any link to a tutorial / path i could follow would be welcome.
I didnt find this in the AMD panel.

Thanks
