Water Reflections POORLY Optimized

invizo

Was playing with the settings a lot last night and realized the only option that managed to dip my FPS below my desired 60 was when Water Reflections gets changed from Low to either Medium or High. On Low or Off my Rig gets 45-60 FPS in big cities but on Medium or High I lose 10-15 additional FPS.

Optimizing the graphics engine should be the first priority of this game. Having never done PVP in ESO before I already know the FPS won't be 60. If we are all lucky a clusterf**k pvp match in cyrodill is going to run at a steady 30 FPS.

Fix these optimizations quickly Zenimax, don't be a Guild Wars 2 and ignore the optimizations after launch; to this day that buggy DX9 mess of a game never reaches 60FPS.

My Rig:
Windows 8.1
Asus PLED 2560 x 1440P Monitor
Nvidia GTX 780 3GB OC
i7 3770K ~ 3.8GHZ
256GB Corsair SSD
16GB DDR3 1866MHZ
Asus Sonar Sound Card + Mobo

bump, a confirmation from a dev would be nice, especially since now a lot of low FPS threads are popping up, and chances are they have water reflections turned up.

you want to play a new game on constant 60? Don't know where to begin here...

thanks for the water reflections info though.

Now at a constant 60 thanks to the latest nvidia update, water reflections and everything else now turned to high or ultra!
