ESO at 4k 60 FPS high/ultra settings - Best graphics card for the job??

is ESO even native 4K?

ESO supports 4K fine but the textures are not that high resolution. But effects and UI display on 4K fine.

i7 - 6700K overclocked to 4.9GHz, water cooled
16GB G.Skill Ripjaws RAM 1500MHz
GTX1080 1860MHz
Dell 34" 3440x1440 monitor

I keep VSync set to the monitor's 60Hz refresh rate, and have 60fps in most places, with occasional drops in cities, player zergs and not-so-seamless handoffs when moving from one area to another. It's just typical of ESO, even with a beast of a PC.

Until the game engine switched to requiring DirectX 11, it played well on some really old hardware as long as the CPU could keep up. Graphics cards weren't even an issue. My wife can run the game on a Surface Pro 4. The integrated graphics aren't fantastic, but it keeps up fine at the game's default settings.

As long as you get a decent frame rate everywhere but congested areas, and those aren't a slideshow, don't sweat it. Keeping your CPU free by not running a lot of stuff in the background is probably the best way to help the game perform well on any system.

There are far worse things to sweat over FPS about. Microsoft Flight Simulator X upgraded with high-detail scenery and aircraft needs a beefy PC to run at 30 fps. That's a seriously CPU-bound application! ESO's a cake walk for most hardware!

There is no point in claim to have higher than 60 fps in tvs/monitors that only show 60fps max.
You are looking for a 144hz monitor or greater to really see what is to play over 60fps.

I have GTX1070 and a Intel 6700K. I get around 30-35fps in high pop areas and 55-60 in delves or empty overworlds.
Plus and most importantly: Using the driver from August 1, 2018 or earlier. The newest drivers mess up with current GPUs. The latest one was making me play at 10-15fps in Stros' M'kai, hahahaha.

I can only achieve sustained 60fps or higher in all content if I disable all my add-ons. Particularly GUI add-ons and master merchant (what a hog). Otherwise, here's the best I can get on a 1080 GTX ti card at full settings:

• In town = 40-50 fps
• Overland = 80-100 fps
• Dungeons = 60-80 fps (leaning towards >70 fps)
• Cyro = coin toss

A 1060 GTX with 6 GB VRAM is fine to run the game in my experience. It's CPU bottle-necked so you won't be using that card much. But you can max everything GPU-related (excludes view distance and reflections) and increase resolution to max and downscale with DSR and your image quality will be amazing.

This is all on 4k Ultra.

G2K, although the 1080ti is just a bit outside of my price range. But it's good to know those results, thanks. I kind of figure I'll be going with the 1070 and running on high, hopefully?!?!? Will just have to see. Appreciate the input.

ESO should have separate graphic settings for Cyrodil and trials.
This would solve a lots of problems and you do an zone load anyway.

I have non-overclocked i7-8700K and GTX1080Ti. Everything is at max and I haven't restricted the frame rate since g-sync should be able to handle that. However, for some reason that I haven't really looked into, I only get max 60fps, although in other games there's no hard limit to it. I suppose I should look into it, but 60fps hasn't really bothered me enough so far.

At the moment the 1080Ti, in a few weeks the 2080Ti. ESO is more CPU intensive, as a rule most MMOs tend to be CPU intensive, so you want to be running a decent CPU-GPU combo.

My 1080ti with an intel 8600k does it fine at 4k 60fps when the servers allow (so not PVP, sorry). Not sure if lesser stuff will as well. Certainly, the biggest issue is just the latency issues ZOS's servers have especially in PVP. It really dosen't matter what your running in those situations.

ESO isn't particularly graphically intensive. As other have mentioned, the bottleneck you'll face will be your CPU, not your GPU. I run a single GTX 1070 at highest settings and it's fine. Granted, I play at 1440, not 4k, but still: it's an MMO, and like most MMOs, the graphical bar is intentionally set low so more people can play.

Not even 4k and my system still bounces in FPS. it is infuriating. I hear a sync monitor helps a lot with this games' instable frames.

As the title suggests, I was just hoping for some graphics card feedback from some folks running ESO at 4k resolutions. I would prefer to be able to run the game at 4k, 60 FPS, on high or even better ultra settings. Currently I'm running a quite dated r9 270x and can only get 4k, 30 FPS, on medium settings. I was just wondering if anyone out there could share their results and which cards they are currently using for ESO in 4k? Would a gtx 1070 cut it? Or even something a bit cheaper, say the $2-300 price range? Any input is welcome, thanks in advance.

im using the the fury x it rips through ESO in 4 khttp://www.sapphiretech.com/productdetial.asp?pid=69ED4799-7518-434C-80CD-3FF8811F8648&lang=eng but it looks like AMD is abandoning this route and has redirected their structure for their high end models so the price never dropped on this card architecture. id look at the 580's if your looking to stay AMD

this guy right here knows what hes talking about. id rather a bigger CPU and a lower end 4 k card. half the problems people get with stutter are ZOS servers anyhow.

ESO isn't resources demanding or not intensive - it's just extremely badly programmed.

no, you're making a mistake and you'll realize it soon enough. Now is the time to pick up a cheap second hand 1080ti from people who are upgrading to 2080ti, more than ever. a GTX1070 does not cut it for 4K, aside from the usual cpu limited scenarios.
