PC configuration:
Mobo: Asrock Socket AM3+ Fatal1ty 990FX Killer/3.1 GLan Audio Raid
CPU: AMD FX 8370 4.0 GHz Eight Core Socket AM3+ 125W
RAM: Kingston 16GB HyperX Fury DDR3L Non ECC CL11 1866MH
GPU: ATI Radeon R9 390X Nitro w/BP 8GB DDR5 PCI-E DVI HDMI Triple-DP
PSU: Corsair Power Supply 850W ATX 24 pin CX 850M
Problem:
Extremely low FPS with this machine. No matter what video settings I use, the FPS is
25-40 in
PvE zones (depending on what's happening around, people, fights, etc) and
10-25 in
Cyrodiil (again depending on the action).
Had everything checked by technician. GPU, CPU, windows updates, drivers, everything. There is nothing wrong with any and all my hardware or software. Everything is working perfectly (playing
Fallout 4 in ultra high and the machine doesn't even begin to sweat, benchmarked
"Middle earth: Shaddow of Mordor" at 97 average FPS). And yet ESO is giving me this unaturaly low FPS issue, which from what I hear is a problem with alot (if not all) users of the RADEON R9 390X GPU.
I've been through alot of trouble this last week to conclude with certainty that the problem begins and ends within ZoS. Something is messed up when it comes down to running this game with this particular GPU series. Costumers can't improve it by simply changing video options in the game. And they shouldn't to be honest. This kind of PC configuration should be playing this game in ultra high settings with at least 80-90 FPS. This problem needs to be adressed by Zenimax. Any ZoS employ reading this (cause I know you love to read the forums
) should take steps into fixing this issue. Optimize the game to play as it should with this monster GPU.
