Alright, here's the whole story.....

Details:
i7 960 CPU
GTX 580 graphics card
16 GB ram
Internet speed 50Mb/s
AVG Ping between 30-60ms
AVG FPS between 60-100fps
Ran this game on MAX graphics for the past 14 days no problem (had early access)

Now, I've been playing for a while and never had this problem until the latest patch (along with the new ERROR 209 bullcrap), anyways, I can run around and look at all the wonderful trees and the rest of the majestic scenery..... but GOD FORBID if I look at an NPC because then my game lags out hardcore, my FPS drops from 60-100fps to 10-25fps and if I get into combat I may as well chuck my screen out the window it'd do me more good as bonfire material.

Keep in mind I've also dropped the graphics to the absolute MINIMUM to the point that I'd rather play Morrowind or Oblivion because they look better and this still happens.

Why? Why does this happen? I thought perhaps it was only in Greenshade (where I was when it first started) now it's happening everywhere and at first I thought it was just enemies (only things around me) and then when I moved to Auridon and Khenarthi's Roost it happened to the common folk in the cities!

    Have you tried disabling any add-ons you might have? just a thought, worth checking...if you have any they tend to go berserk on the pc after a new patch.

    Hahaha I just was about to update saying I disabled my ESOHead add-on and everything started working beautifully again!

    Thank you though, Novarre

    ESOHead is regularly the cause of connection problems, why anyone uses addons from ZAM eludes me they always have been crap and broken and since in the past ZAM were associated with one of the biggest RMT operations in the world (IGE) through corporate structure if not directly, no one with any conscience should use them IMO.

    Well, keep in mind that ESOHead has also been working without issue until this patch. So I don't see why you have to try and knock it down? ALSO I restarted ESOHead and I'm no longer lagging out AND get to use my Add-On
