Running ESO with 5930K and GTX 1080 at 4K

Niastissa

Here is a clip of game play. My Premiere is limited to 1080P but at the start I have shown the video settings being used. This is PVE with a group of seven.

I have to go back and do this again in PVP and see if I can get the frame rate to display. For now though this will give an idea of performance for those that are interested.

Needs more FPS counters.

Niastissa

I'm working on it. If shadow play doesn't record it I'll use FRAPS.

Paulington

I run two GTX 1080s with 4K @ max settings and average around 75-80 FPS now. I get about 100-120 FPS just questing solo and about 45-70 FPS in cities depending on the amount of players. The FPS drops further down to 15-25 FPS during Trials.

Can put some footage up too if you'd like.

Elder_III

I play at 4K with a single GTX 1080 and average peg 60 FPS constantly when outside of cities etc (I cap it at 60 in Afterburner). With an i7 3770K @ 4.2 and a SSD it stays around 45 in cities other then a couple specific spots that it tanks on every pc I've tested (in front of Mages Guild in Orsinium for example).

***You can enable the in game FPS counter in the game settings.

I play with a potato, yeah thats pretty much it.

Niastissa

I managed to figure out how to get shadow play to record my microphone and record at 4K. I'm transferring the video file to my iMac right now for encoding. I should have it up sometime later today.

Edit:

For whatever reason Shadow Play is not recording the FPS indicator that was on the screen which defeated the purpose of turning off v-sync. I'll keep working on that next time.

The video that is up is us collecting sky shards and getting world bosses on our alts.

I have 11GB of 26GB transferred to my iMac. That is just me questing. I have to trim it down and encode it. People had expressed interest in seeing how ESO played with a GTX 1080.

On Monday I'll have my second GTX 1080 so I can also work on showing the difference a second one makes.

Nah, Ill wait for 1080ti.

One could argue to then wait just a little more for the 1180.

I subscribe to the upgrade when you need to and sell the old gear.

Very nice, does it help with the texture clipping? How's the draw distance in comparison to 1080

This video was with a GTX 1080. Everything was turned up with AA off. I had two GX 970 cards before. They did about the same running at 1440P as this GTX 1080 at 4K. I'm very happy with the GTX 1080 but I'm going to pick up another one as soon as I can. I'd like to grab another from Best Buy but it is looking like I might have to order it to get it.

I always go for the ti version. Currently on 980ti.

The TI does give it a longer name

Two 980TI cards are pretty good. I don't think there would be a need to upgrade from them. I'l admit I am a little disappointed in the dropping of 3 way SLI. But I've only ever had two cards at a time so I suppose it isn't a huge loss.

Edit: I have a 4K video coming up now if anyone is wondering what the game looks like at 4K. Last time the game was playing at 4K but recorded to 1080P.

Thanks so much for making these videos!

And you have a behemoth Windows workstation with i7-5930K and GTX 1080, but you are editing the footage on an iMac??

I made the first one on the gaming PC, but Premiere Elements 13 is limited to 1080P. I have to buy the new version. However my iMac with iMovie can do 4K right now. On top of that because of the way the two software products work the iMac is a faster encoder.

My next video is uploading now. It will be up in about a hour.

Niastissa

Here is a full 4K video. The frame rate didn't show up again in the recording. Next time I'll simply use the FPS indicator built into ESO.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsUMoG4dBMY

Edit: It still has processing to do.

Edit Edit: I'm not sure what the hold up is. After nearly a day it is still showing only 1080P on youtube and the source video is 4K.

Just got a 1070 however, need a monitor upgrade.
4k or higher refresh..or both?

ConeOfSilence

760 GTX here no grass no shadow get 60 fps. P.C upgrade coming soon thinking of duel cards.

Niastissa

I have heard reports that the GTX 1070 is better then a 980TI and the GTX 1080 is about 25% better then the GTX 1070.

You heard right. But won't make much difference for this game

I got a Samsung 4k monitor with 64Hz and I love it, which setup can output more than 64fps at 4k anyways
Would chose 4k over 140Hz+ every day

Croaxor

And now try 4k on a full Cyro server

I plan on getting 1080 or 1080Ti by Xmas sales, but I wasn't planning any upgrade to my 4790K rig.

With the CPU nature of ESO, I thought max single-core boost was most important. Is the 5930K giving you more single core performance than a 4790K would?

And are you using the 64bit exe? That exe didn't add more core usage did it?

I run ESO on GTX 1080 and i7 4790k @ 4.5Ghz - performance outside Cyrodiil is outstanding, even in large cities. As soon as you enter Cyrodiil, it seems all good and well, but over time the performance deteriorates that much, often dropping to 5 FPS for a few split seconds. That used to be the case on my old hardware and is the case now. Doesn't seem to matter what hardware horsepower is used, it's just horribly optimized.

P.S. Running at 4k as well.

I don't have a 4790K but my iMac has a 6700K. The problem is it is limited to a mobile 395X. On OS X it does pretty well at 2K but not as good as two GTX 970 cards let alone one GTX 1080. I can't speak for these processors any more then that.

I went with the 5930K to get the best balance of single core speed, number of cores and PCIe lanes. I built this machine about a year ago before the 6700K was released. The 4790K doesn't have enough lanes to handle a PCI SSD and two graphics cards.

Yes I'm running 64 bit. The performance is better then the 32bit on my machine. I honestly don't know what the core usage is on my machine for 32bit or 64bit except to say I have a lot of headroom.

What you are describing is a memory leak. It's interesting that your CPU tops off at the same speed mine tops off at. Here is a link to my result for fire strike back when I was using two GTX 970 cards. The 5930K was running at 4.5GHz.

Cronopoly

I spent a ton of money on my Programming rig for Unreal Engine 4 / Maya so use the same rig to game in my leasure time. 4K XB280HK 28" monitor. I'm running Titan-X SLI custom bios at 1500Mhz on water. I get typical 60-95FPS at 4K

Overkill for this game though. Rise of the Tomb Raider blew me away on the 4K front however. Most beautiful thing I've ever seen in a game.

It's no different really My system is not the bottleneck at all. When PVP lag hits the frame rate stays the same, the game updates from the client/server slow to a crawl making it seem like a slideshow of course.

4K is likely too high resolution for large Cyrodiil battles, even with GTX 1080. It's a lot more demanding than the rest of the game, particularly on the CPU whenever you get attacked by multiple enemy players at once.

Back in January, Sirrmattus was getting around 30-40fps at 1080p max settings incl AA in big battles with i7-5820K and 980Ti, which is the highest framerate I've seen to date in that scenario. There have been some optimizations in the patches since, so hopefully you guys with Pascal might get perhaps 50fps or more? That would be fantastic.

So with Titan X SLI, your frames stay above 60fps at 4K max settings even in large battles, say Trueflame at primetime? What CPU do you have? Can you record some footage?

Yes, initially it does, but after half hour of memory leak performance goes down the toilet be it 4k or 1080p, only way to fix it is to restart the client which is annoying.
