Poor performance in Windowed/Windowed Fullscreen

I'm not sure why this has suddenly started, I've run the game in Windowed Fullscreen since launch with no noticeable issues, but about 2 weeks ago it started getting choppy. The FPS was pretty much the same as always, but the image just did not move as smoothly. Finally, today I tried Fullscreen and it's' about 100x better. Again, the FPS is about the same, but the picture is flawlessly smooth.
I have 3 monitors (and have since launch), not sure if that has something to do with it, but it kinda defeats the purpose when you have to alt out and disturb all of them regardless.

leeux✭✭✭✭✭Agreed. Is the same for me.
After this last patch the game is showing screen tears when playing in Windowed Mode, that before this patch didn't happened. And FPS vary wildly as the camera moves, from 60 to 25. Before patch is was fixed at 60 everywhere (I don't PvP)
Sadly, for me Windowed mode is much more stable than the Fullscreen mode... the game crashes at least once an hour while playing in Fullscreen, while it never crashed for me in Windowed mode.
I hope this gets resolved soon.PC/NA - Proud old member of the Antique Ordinatus Populus

zhevon✭✭✭✭On reading your message - I swapped from Windowed Fullscreen to Fullscreen; and things seem to be much smoother, even though the FPS is pretty much the same.0 -
pinstripesc✭✭✭Exactly.
A customer service guy actually contacted me via email with these suggestions for a fix -
1. Close the patcher running in the background
2. Close your browsers running in the background(Particularly Firefox and Chrome). Some of these have hardware acceleration or add-ons that eat as much resources as the game itself. One particular mention was GPU Canvas Acceleration.
3. Make sure your video drivers are up to date via the Nvidia website or the AMD website.
4. Turning off SLI
5. Disable add-ons. Some add-ons have been known to cause performance issues as well. One particular one affecting us here is called AI Research Grid.
6. Delete the usersettings file located within Documents-->Elder Scrolls Online-->live/liveeu-->usersettings.txt
7. Lastly, there have been new additions to the graphics adjustments since the last patch, Particle Systems and Particle Distance. Lowering these 2 settings might help you out quite a bit.
None of them helped me, but you guys might try them out if you haven't.0 -

We're aware of the FPS issues that have appeared for a few people and we're currently investigating them. Our CS team may reach out to you for some additional information to help speed up the investigation. We thank you for your patience while we look into this.2 -
dg332b14_ESOSoul ShrivenAny update on this?
I just set up dual monitors and I am experiencing the exact same issue.... 100fps consistently (no vsync) showing both while windowed (fullscreen) and fullscreen, but game is choppy with windowed (fullscreen).0
