ESO poor performance with a GTX 1080ti and i7 8700k

iiYuki

Ive mentioned it before but this helped me massively, I doubled my FPS and went from averaging 30-40fps to 70+ https://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/3jjoql/are_you_having_fps_issues_wih_eso_on_a_pc_well/
though some people I recommend trying it say it didn't do anything.

The problem with ESO is not CPU, any CPU made after 2009 will run the game fine. In terms of GPU ESO doesn’t really require much horsepower. On CPU and GPU ZOS did ok.

The problem is in the net code and their use of TCP. TCP is an awful choice for tea time combat games. How TCP works is every time you send a packet to the server, the server must send back an ack packet telling you it recieved it before more is sent and vice versa...well when you have an entire factions all spamming the server with TCP packets and they all need to be ack what does one think would happen?

TCP has a ton of overhead, sure it was easier for ZOS to use TCP over UDP but the penalty for that is the lag we have. It will never be fixed as long as the game uses TCp short of putting cooldowns on every skill if they continue with TCP.

Literally Every single real time combat type of game from arcade street fighters to FPS use UDP for this reason, because you don’t have to ack everything, the server can send the client one packet with all the updated data instead of the long waits and lag we have with TCP. TCP should have only been used as a control channel and an authentication method, everything else should have been UDP. This would have required more coding work since you have to handle errors and such, but the game wouldn’t lag like it does now.

It’s too late in the game now though, no way they re-write the netcode in proper UDP.

Last night I had 100 FPS with a 500+ ping at some points, nothing I can do about that...the server is flooded with TCP requests that are qued it needs to ack. It is what it is.

@NewBlacksmurf not anymore since I have i7 7740X and x2 1080ti SLI for some stupid reason while in eso my gpu usage goes to 80%+ are you serious? and cpu usage is max 25% if not less

ESO will actually work better with no SLI on a single card if this tells you anything. Try it

Anyone noticed a performace improvement now that only the 64 client can be used ?

If you think that upgrading your rig will enchance the game performance and graphics then save your money.

out of curiosity, what resolution are you at?

All the people with just a 32-bit computer no longer have lag in Cyrodiil.

@lordrichter cuz they can no longer play the game ?:))

@Sigtric I did and had the same exact same performance.

actually now that its 64 bit only my performance took a nose dive, lost like 10-20 fps and trying to do everything I can to scrap some of it back.

7700hq/gtx1050 4g ddr5. With all sliders to max I get 60 fps everywhere but mournhold during peak hours.

In mid I presume with 1080p

Hello

can someone post/give updated (actual) tweak/guide for fps boost? Can be link.

Zymcio

Ok i found best settings for me

My notebook spec:

CPU i7-7700HQ
GPU GTX 1050 Ti
RAM 16 GB DDR 4

I followed some tweak guides.

Addional i instaled addon "Voltan's Advanced Settings" to limit MAX FPS = SET 60

In Documents -> Elder Scrolls Online -> Live -> usersettings.txt

- SET GPUSmoothingFrames "0"
- SET HIGH_RESOLUTION_SHADOWS "0"
- SET SHADOWS "0"
- SET SOFT_ALPHA "0"
- SET MAX_ANISOTROPY "0"
- SET MIP_LOAD_SKIP_LEVELS "-3"

In game

Display Mode = Windowed (Fullscreen)
Vertical Sync = ON
Anti-Aliasing = OFF

Below rest

After all this changes i made i have now const 60 FPS only in city sometimes go to 30 FPS .
BTW my notebook is no more overheating

Dual core game...

these are my specs:


Game runs with no issues on Ultra settings (all maxed), and there is no lag (even in cyrodil), no fps issues either.

RajinPVP

Im using i7 6800k oc to 4.7 ,gtx 1080 , 32 gb ram, gsync monitor 144hz, fps still dips around 40-50 busy towns but other than that im 60+ fps on dungeons on max settings and i just turn down “shadow” and “grass” on pvp then ill be smooth. I also turnoff nvidia experience coz its kinda useless and make the game use more gpu somehow.

My CPU is running at 4.3 Ghz on a single core.

There is more to it than just speed. My CPU is 4.2 Ghz. yet your CPU will run circles around mine.

Let me explain it in simple terms. We'll call your cpu ferryboat 1 and mine ferryboat 2. lets say my ferryboat is 4.4Ghz and yours is 3.8. So mine can make more trips, but I have a smaller boat. So I have to make more trips to equal one trip of yours. I can't remember the term, but it's basically how much the cpu can handle on a clock cycle. It's why you can't compare a i5 to an AMD on Ghz.

if you look at our 2 CPU's you say that yours is slightly better because it has a .1 clock cycle speed over mine. But I know your CPU is miles better than mine because mine can't transfer the same amount of info in one clock cycle. And this is where the CPU can bottle neck your system.

Here's the thing:

I upgraded from an FX-8350 to an i7-7700k and saw about a 40% increase in FPS on my setup. The reason for this is that the FX series is poor in single-thread performance compared to the i-series.

To be fair... almost anything would see a performance increase over an FX series. It's been know to bottleneck the system by at least 25%-35% alone. I think it's called API, which is the transfer amount in one clock cycle, and the FX series had really bad transfer rates.

Sorry OP, but my rig uses a GTX 1080ti and runs flawlessly.

I highly recommend Voltan's Adaptive Settings: http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info1239-VotansAdaptiveVideo-Settings.html

This add-on allows you to set a target framerate and when it cannot reach that framerate it drops draw distance and some other settings to help lessen the CPU load in populated areas. It allows me to have full ultra settings in the wild and dynamically lowers draw distance in populated cities where the CPU limits kick in. I highly recommend it.

I am not sure how well it works in PVP, but it is great in PVE areas.

This game runs the same on my GTX 660, 970, and 1080. It's not optimized at all.

Getting a top-of-the-line i7 and overclocking to its limit will help a little but (like giving you an extra 5 fps), but that's it.

I'll bet it does.

Even with that rig I wouldn't recommend having View Distance and particles turned up to max like that.

The game looks gross without max view distance.
