FPS gets very low on my new GTX 1080?

Fps in cities or built up areas can be as low as 30-40 fps, even when lowering settings to max makes little difference. Is the game very CPU un optimised?

    The more players there are in your vicinity, the higher the CPU load, partly because there's a more animation going on, and partly due to networking overhead; I run at 4K on a 980 Ti and manage 60FPS most of the time, but in cities it can drop to 20ish.

    I have a GTX 1080 and a 4.5 Ghz i7 3770K and its the same for me. I'm only playing at 1080p as well. Most places its great, but yeah inside cities esp with how crowded some are now with one tamriel I can get dips below 30 FPS. The game dose not seem to do a very good job taking advantage of multiple CPU cores. If I look at task manager while its running its usually pretty much just one core that has a large amount of utilization while the rest are 50% or lower.

    Yes, CPU optimisation is very weak, The game saturates one core and eventually the CPU can no longer send enough data to the GPU to keep it busy.

    There has been talk of a DX12 update, which would go some way to alleviating this problem, due to a better multiccore API.

    ESO and SWTOR were both disgusting as fu to release as DX9 32 bit games tbh.
