Request: A proper real fullscreen mode

Semel

Windowed borderless mode the game has now is not good in terms of GPU load. Not good at all. Ergo many players have inadequate fps numbers even on high end PCs (3770k, 780ti/titan's GPU load at 35-50% etc)

It is really astonishing that you didn't even bother making it available. Usually it goes the other way around and games only support real fullscreen mode

What FPS numbers are 'inadequate' to you? I'm playing perfectly with a GTX580, everything maxed-out.

The said before launch on the website this would be patched in at a later date.

I would think that getting about 35+ fps at Eben Root at 1920x1200, all ultra+max distance on 3770k, 16gb, titan ( gpu load at 35%+ while being there) is ridiculous and screams of poor coding.
No GPU load related problems with other games at all.

Yes, there's a seperate thread about optimisation. It's not to do with full screen mode. If you look at task manager or Process Explorer you will see eso.exe has 32 threads and most are concentrated around 1 CPU core. So if you have 4 or 8 cores, most of them are doing nothing. This stops the GPU core being highly used, as the engine can't talk to the GPU as one of the cores is maxed.

Yeah I noticed that. Although I didn't have to look at the task manager coz I'm using Afterburner so I can monitor what is going on in real time in regard to GPU load, CPU load, temperatures,memory/core frequency, memory used etc.
