FPS won’t stop dropping

deepseamk20b14_ESO

I start around 50+. After a minute it drops to in the 20’s. I have:

-Turned off all add ons
-set priority of the game to high in task manager
-reduced number of applications running to where nothing should be bogging down the CPU
-deletes user settings and let game remake them
-changing graphics to low in game doesn’t change anything
-reloading UI fixes it for a minute then back to crap
-firewall isn’t interrupting anything
-game is using NVIDIA card not *** onboard card
-graphics driver is a few back but has worked perfectly fine up until the last week or so
-not sure why virus program would screw with FPS as it has an exception for it but I disabled it anyways
-I tried running 64 bit client directly from client folder as admin

None of this worked...

I also ran benchmark programs and they all showed computer is running where it should be, slightly higher actually.

My computer certainly isn’t new but it was good when the game can out no reason it shouldn’t be able to run it just as good. Specs are

GTX 680M
Intel i7-3630qm all cores Unparked
8GB RAM
Plenty of hard drive space
Windows 7 64 bit

Whatever is causing this FPS is making the game impossible to play for me and I’m at my wits end. Anyone have a similar issue and found a solution?

As you've already done extensive troubleshooting and most of the troubleshooting we would recommend here, the next thing you can do is start a ticket with customer support. When doing so, please include a game consultant so they can view your current system specifications.
