Is it possible to maintain 60+ fps on PC?

I am playing it on dual 1080s in SLI and even I can't maintain 60 FPS in cities.

My FPS in cities at 4K is about 40 FPS, at 1440p it's about 50 FPS and 1080p it's around 58 FPS.

This game is CPU bound, so even with monster GPU setups you will bottleneck far before the GPUs become an issue.

A different question then, anyone playing it on one of those new Broadwell-e 10 core CPUs?

Also, saying 'I get 80 fps' doesnt mean much if you dont say anything about resolution, gfx settings and your hardware.

My specs are as follows:

Intel i7-4930k 6-core CPU (6 physical, 12 logical) running at 4.5GHz.
2x MSI GTX 1080s.
16 GB DDR3 RAM.
Game is installed on a 1TB Samsung 840 EVO.

I play ESO at 4K with maximum settings and I average 35 FPS according to CAM which is unbelievable. I can max The Witcher 3 at 4K and maintain ~40 FPS average with a single GTX 1080 and ESO with a single 1080 I average around 25 FPS.

The level at which this game is CPU bound really boggles the mind. When I am at ~55 FPS in Mournhold my 1080s are at 45% utilisation (usually one around 55% and the other at 40%) but they can't push more FPS because core 1 on my CPU is crying "No more!" and is stuck at 100% load despite having some of the highest single-core performance among consumer desktop class CPUs.

With my setup the only game I cannot get a stable 60 FPS on at any resolution (1080p, 1440p or 4K) is ESO.

Like I said eso can't use resources available to it effectively and efficiently. It was made using a custom engine which cannot be optimised properly. 55 fps in Mournhold at 1080p is actually really good because most people get around 30 but then again you have some of the best components available on the market. Running at higher resolutions should reduce the strain on the CPU as the game will become more gpu bound. You could reduce the draw distance a bit to relieve some stress on the cpu which should get you 60fps in mournhold at 1080p.
