Is there a way to enhance graphics?

The thing that kind of annoys me in this game is that everything that is out of a 5m radius of my character is blurry. Is there a way to make the road, sky, flowers and everything stay sharp even in distance?

✭✭✭✭✭Actually Yeah load mini map -3 resolves this issue in user settings at cost of performance.Edited by Tasear on September 15, 2017 12:32PM2 -
ezeepeezee✭✭✭✭The mip map level helps for sure, but ReShade makes the biggest difference:

Ajintse✭✭✭^ Use Reshade indeed. If you play on PC. You can adjust almost every detail."The moon is my sun, the night is my day, blood is my life and you are my prey."

Yes it's mini map load something. It will put everything in high depth, but like others there's some reshaders or other things to assist. Look at pics on my profile page for example.0 -

Yeah you need the -3 mipmap tweak. Also make sure your view distance is maxed. And expect your fps to go down a bit.

SirFilip✭I installed reshade but I couldn't find some rar files, I guess they are presets. Switched from optimal settings to max. and back and somehow my issue has been fixed. Now what is to find a good preset.0

✭Why do people complaining about the graphics always take the screenshots at night? That's always puzzled me.
For me personally I noticed a lot of the graphical issues were at night....this hasn't always been the case if fact I wish we could get back where the game was graphically a couple patches before launch, some of the graphical issues that seem to plague folks now just wasn't around.
I have also noticed that Nivida folks seem to have it worse than Raedon users.....I'm not even going to try and guess at solutions the engine that ZoS built for this game has always been something of a mystery.0 -

✭Something that hasn't been mentioned here is running double resolution of your monitors native resolution. If you have an nvidia card you can use their Dynamic Super Resolution(DSR) feature which does this, and it works very well. If you got a 1920x1080 screen you'll effectively be getting 4K resolution. Of course 4K has a toll on performance but the result is astonishingly smooth and sharp resolution and textures. But I do this with a 5(!) year old gtx690 card on a 5 year old gaming rig with al settings to highest possible (except shadow, distance drawing and subsampling quality) and get 60 fps almost everywhere, except at few places in some cities I get ~50-60 fps. Since this card has two GPU's you can use SLI which can do absolute wonders with performance in ESO. However SLI is not supported in ESO by default on most systems; so you'll need to tweak your nvidia settings accordingly for use with ESO. (let me know if you need help doing this, and I'll reply with a guide).
On top of that you can use SweetFX with very great effect, for a bit of performance cost (depending on how many features you use), as the posts above mentions with for example Reshade preset settings (here is a link btw if you need it: https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/7111/
The Sweetfx Heroic 2.1 preset found on nexusmods can also be used, it has almost zero performance cost, so could be a wise choice instead of the above Reshade preset.
If some of the above options hits your performance too much you might want to consider lowering the games "subsampling quality" from High to Medium. On my system the visual difference is neglible and only really noticable when close studying screenshots, while the fps drop is high from 5-25 fps depending on the local environment on screen.

Really? I've had a couple of different Nvidia cards while playing ESO (currently a GTX 960, previously a 560ti I think) and both have run the game perfectly with no graphic issues or failings. Most people regardless of their graphics card seem to comment on the beauty of the game rather than its shortcomings, and every time someone produces an enhancement tool most players end up saying they prefer the original screenshot to the "enhanced" one. Given that the game is over 3 years old the number of players complaining here about the graphics is incredibly small and it only rarely comes up. I've also noticed, incidentally, that not only do they take their screenshots at night but they never give their system specs including the obvious one, namely the graphics card!1 -
SirFilip✭I have the GTX 750Ti OC. I don't know if what you said about running 4k will work. I also have a full HD montior. How do I turn on DSR? And I also had that issue in the day but it just so happened to be night when I took that screenshot.0

I used to have a 690 as well and did the same thing, but it ran so hot it was ridiculous. I recently upgraded to a 1050ti and I have better performance across the board, and it was 25% of the original price of a 690.0 -

Yep honest that's my personal experience with friends and Guildmates who play. I wonder if could be be something with chipset or CPU as well, because there are cases of the exact same card getting different results.
Now I used the 560ti before going to the Radeon RX80 and had a lot of the issues with that but when I went to the 1080ti ran exceptionally smooth; it's some variable that's causing the issues that I don't think anyone has really discovered yet.0 -

My 690 peaks at 83 degrees celcius at 100% load on both cores when the card is freshly cleaned of dust. No overclocking and there is good airflow in my cabinet. Dust collects inside the card though over time and its temps will rise approximately ~0.5-1 celcius per month in my experience. 83 celcius may seem hot, but I have never had any problems except that one time where I didn't clean it for a year and it climbed above 95 celcius and began crashing on me
I have to say I'm surprised that my aging 690 still performs rather well on even new and demanding games (mostly because it's 5 year old and I didn't expect it to last so good so long); though I almost always have success with it using SLI, and that does a major difference. Did you run SLI on ESO with your 690? If not, it severely under performs. 690 without SLI is a waste in most cases.

✭@SirFilip Setting mipmap to -3 can make you take a huge hit to performance. If that happens try -1, that gives an excellent result for me, with little performance cost.Edited by Jayman1000 on September 17, 2017 11:22AM0 -

I did , cleaned it regularly and have extremely good airflow in my build, but my 690 fried 3 times in 3 years, and the guy who kept replacing them said it is a known issue because the card just runs too hot. My new 1050ti runs at 55° tops. Most other games its a 35-40°Edited by Jade1986 on September 17, 2017 11:34AM0 -

Well your new 1050ti is new (launched january 2017 I believe, while 690 is 5 years old), and only has one GPU (while 690 has two for the purpose of SLI, 690 without SLI is a waste) so it would be disastrous if the 1050ti didn't have much better heat management/efficiency per watt, seeing as it doesn't give that much better performance than the 690(with SLI). For it's time 690 gave extremely good performance (again with SLI enabled) on the cost of high power usage and notorious heat inefficiency. However your 690 shouldn't have fried if you cleaned if regularly, it was build to sustain high temperatures (temps up to 85 celcius was within normal operating temperature, so your card must have began to come close to 100 celcius, as mentioned earlier my system began freezing up at 690 temps around 95 celcius). Either the card was damaged/malfunctioning, had a bad overclock, there was bad airflow in your cabinet, or the room temperature was already high for example if you live in a location where temperatures can get very high without aircondition (I live in Scandinavia, so even on hot summers it never really gets very hot). But we're getting off topic here it seems

I missed your post here and never replied, im sorry
I believe you should change the usersettings.txt entry SET MIP_LOAD_SKIP_LEVELS "0" to SET MIP_LOAD_SKIP_LEVELS "-1" should fix the low quality areas, but you are probably going to take a performance hit (setting it to -3 is probably gonna create a ton of lag). I think this setting, when set to 0, skips loading high textures until later for the benefit of maintaining a nice fps (I dont know if this actually is the case, but it feels like it). So that could be what you are experiencing in your screenshots? Set to -1 or lower it's as if the game is forcing the GPU to prioritize loading the high textures before everything else, which will create some lag while those texture finish loading, unless your graphics card is super duper enough, then you might not see any lag from this.
Full HD normally means 1080p (for example a resolution of 1920x1080 as my LCD is), so 4K DSR should fit well for you. To enable DSR should normally be possible through Nvidia control panel under "Manage 3D settings". However when I look in my current control panel it's not there. The only place I could find to enable DSR seems to be using Geforce Experience, so you might have to look there. In Geforce Experience, under ESO, make sure the DSR and resolution settings are like on the following picture, and hit Apply. Don't press "Optimal" or "Optimize" unless you want Geforce to "Optimize" all your graphics settings for ESO....
I hope you can use at least some of this.
