FPS question
bugmom
✭✭✭✭
So, I used to be able to run the game on my iMac at "medium" graphics and I LOVE the stunning visuals that the game has to offer. However since the 10.10 upgrade (now 10.10.1) I've been seeing worse performance. So, I upgraded to 16 gig ram from the 4 that came with my system and not much improved.
Complicating that, FPS seems to change throughout the day. For example - yesterday it went up into the 25's so I turned medium graphics back on and fps dropped to 15 or so but i was able to play just fine. At around midnight, I noticed fps was in the 45 range! Went to bed, got up this morning and it is now 7-9 fps.
I don't really understand what is changing - can anyone point me to some helpful info on this topic?

bugmom✭✭✭✭Update: Have found that if I reboot my computer before starting ESO that it helps. I also then run the activity monitor and there are three processes that I have to manually kill because I can't figure out how to get rid of them permanently:
HP Product Research (came with printer driver)
Growlhelper (which I don't use, haven't updated, can't seem to delete)
Controllermate (don't use, can't find to delete)
I also make sure nothing else is running - Safari, mail, etc.
If I do the reboot and kill those every time before I start the game, I can get 45 fps in low graphics, 15-20 fps in high graphics with shadows off.
Until today. Today I am getting 5-10 fps no matter what.
