As announced at Capsaicin & Cream; AMD and Bethesda mentioned a new partnership which would benefit both parties and bring forward better performance and compatibility to all of Bethesdas' "library" of games. Is Eso part of that library? Since this game was designed from the ground up to be a console game as well, (pc subscribers where beta testers for the much larger market of consoles from my understanding), and given the close relationship with AMD and those consoles ;will their be tangible and exploitable benefits to be had by rolling with amd?

As for hardware and settings- what is everyone else getting as far as frames+resolution+settings go?

I'm running a 4790k @4.8ghz 16gb 2133 ddr3 3gb msi r9 280 currently on a 1080p 60hz display and at high settings I'm getting around 30 fps in populated areas to high 50's on a regular basis (ie not looking at a wall which is obviously 100fps lolz)

If this is part of the library that is going to see some "compatibility upgrades", I'm looking into getting the RX Vega to hopefully improve those frames. I'm curious what the 980 ti, 1080, 1080 ti, cross fire and sli users are getting So I can perhaps gauge my expectations.

    Just my 2 cents but the pvp servers really need to consider Intel Optane P4800X 's as a possible upgrade path. I imagine the workload with massive amounts of small equations could be greatly expedited with these. just my two cents tho.

    It should pay off for console players at least. Both the ps4 and Xbox 1 use AMD chipsets if I'm not mistaken.

    Something they have in common,updates are too far apart lol
    Raising floors and lower ceilings by zos standards has created an iron maiden.
    No matter how well you played,when the game is over,the king and pawn go back in the same box.
    Be careful what you ask for from zo$, you always get punished.
    Call me toxic,your the one being slowly poisoned by greed.

    your not mistaken. They totally do. AMD essentially exited the computer market for a few years and continued to dominate the console market.
