We are currently investigating issues some players are having logging into the European PC/Mac megaserver. We will update as new information becomes available.

The change from DX9 to DX11 as a consumer of this game is costing me more money to run.

    I run Quad-SLI liquid cooled factory overclocked GTX Titans attached to three GSYNC displays with a combined resolution of 7680x1440. When the game was in DX9 mode the cards ran at about 50% usage each and the FPS was between 90 and 100fps (capped at 100 with FRAPS.) My power supplies for the system are dual 1500 watt and a single 750 watt. They all connect into a L6-30 twist lock PDU that supplies only 220v power. The wattage is measured at the wall when the game was in DX9 mode it was around 1220 watts with about 100 watt in variances. Now is DX11 mode FPS are around 35 to 50 although with GSYNC all still looks great, but the video cards are at 99% usage and my wattage measured at the wall is 1870 watts with about 150watt in variances. That is about a 650 watt increase.

    When the computer was in DX9 mode:
    Winter cost is about $0.13 an hour
    Summer cost is about $0.16 an hour

    Computer in DX11 mode:
    Winter cost is about $0.21 an hour
    Summer cost will be about $0.32 an hour

    Not to mention the air-condition works harder when the computer is putting off more heat, and with the ridiculous grinds in this game this is going to get expensive. Yeah, yeah, I know this system was very expensive 2+ years ago but that is CAPEX not OPEX cost. You should have a choice to change it back to DX9.

    Something is fishy here... maybe...

    I ran 4x7970's for awhile until I gave one to my wife, anyways now running 3x7970's ...

    You haven't given your full system specs but GPU wise you got more horsepower than i do, and i suspect you are on Ivy-Bridge-E to support all that PCI-E traffic.

    Anyways, my point is that i Frame cap in ESO all the time (100fps) in busy towns i can drop to 40-50fps but thats more of a ESO problem than my Hardware problem.

    I think you need to diagnose why you are having poor performance there.. With a Greater than 2x gpu setup most times you got to flash the GPU bios to put it into a slave mode, otherwise the power mangeent on the card drastically kills your frame latency. Have you tried this?

    Also, It is HIGHLY doubtful that ESO/ZOS put in proper code in ESO to take advantage of such a situation. Have you instead tried to use the Nvidia driver to take over the SLI and present the Gpu's to the Game as ONE GPU... SHould be able to enable the "AFR" setting in your sli config..

    infact while you are testing, trying to take over as many gpu bound things from eso as possible, like AA, AF, tessilation etc.. Again i really doubt ZOS put any effort at all into coding for a situation like your/mine.

    Also, why would you want to use Dx9 over dx11 anyways? the titan was better optimized for dx11... Also for the life of me i could not get dx9 in eso to actually get crossfire working, it only worked in dx11.. But you are using nvidia so things are different.

    Anyways, my point again is that i really think you need to work out where your bottleneck is and figure that *** out.. Someone with a config like that shouldn't be having issues in ESO.. However as a user, you shouldn't expect a config like yours to "just work" either, the pros and CONS of multi-gpu setups are well known. I hope you did your research prior to dropping the G's on your rig.

    Lastly, if you are going to reply to me with something like "but it's fine in all other games but ESO.. ESO has got to get it's *** together" .... No sorry, probably less than 1% of ESO players even use Dual GPU let alone quad.. You need to take control here.

    You people are all missing the point. All he is asking for is a choice between dx9 and dx11. Albeit he looks silly because he had a 6k +$$$ machine, but his point is still valid. I myself have noticed a huge fps hit in cyrodil which is effecting my play. I used to be at 40 during rvr but now I'm at 15-25. By forcing people to go dx11 we all now have to shell out more $$$ to keep up with this game. Give us an option.

    Sure some people had to pay more money but let's not get dramatic. If you spent 6k it's because you wanted to people have listed sub $100 DX11 cards that will work in any rig with a 500W power supply. The fps drop is a real issue though.

    Sad this guy has all this equipment and no idea how to configure it properly.

    This is not configuration issue, this is a simple DX9 vs DX11 performance. It is not just related to ESO or Nvidia or my rig. The problem is DX9 is faster than DX11 and as the resolution increase the problem get worse. I am assuming most rigs in this forum are only 1920x1080. The problem at 1920x1080 would be barely noticeable but increase the resolution to 4k or 7680x1440 and the gap between DX9 and DX11 is huge.

    Look at this Toms hardware comparison with AMD on Dirt between DX11 and DX9 at 2560x1600. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/dirt-2-performance-benchmark,2508-8.html

    As per my last reply to you... I really think it's your rig, specifically something is going on with your software..

    Also you can't use DIRT as "proof" for your issues.

    Maybe try SWTOR vs ESO dx9 and dx11 performance.. since they both at least use the same engine.

    And just FYI cause i didn't mention it before.. i run at 4K 3840x2160 .... i've also run on tri-screens also at 3240x1920..

    Firstly: Your GPU can't be the bottleneck of your system. Either your computer is badly optimized for Eso or Eso is badly optimized for your setup (i could imagine, that Eso is not able to properly run at your resolution).

    Secondly: It's possible, that your CPU bottlenecks your system. It has to do a lot of math for your setup to function properly. What's your CPU?

    The CPU is getting long in the tooth but I don't see it being utilize more than 60% on any one core. It is a Intel i7-4960X not-overclocked.

    okay confirmed... Ivy0bridge-E .. good start... I run 4820K the quad core on the same chipset...

    Have you tried some overclocking? Try running a clock of 4.5Ghz see if there is any improvement...

    How about your memory clock? im using 2133Mhz 32gb

    His main point isn't forgotten. But the point is a bit Mute because his setup shouldn't have any issues with dx11 over dx9... those of us in the know, know there is something else going on here.

    Regarding your FPS loss... There is NO FPS hit when moving up API's, infact typically the opposite happens, you will gain FPS..

    When dx11 first came out the drivers needed some catch up time which is where your statement originates from, but that was a long time ago in computer years and nvidia is optimized for dx11 just fine.

    Games and technology advance. Get with the times or get left behind. Sorry, but you got no arguement.

    I am not stuck looking at old technology it is Just because DX11 is newer does not make it better than DX9 for gaming. Look at it in reverse let’s say somebody had a technology DX9 that would use 30% less power and be 70% faster frame rate on large resolutions, the only drawback is NPC faces don’t look quite as real and water is not as real ether.

    Why have all those titans if you don't want faces and water to look more real?

    I guess you are speaking more general and not just about your situation.

    But, to be fair, if you want to use less power, use lesser graphics settings. If you want top graphics settings more than $ savings, than that should include better faces and water, right?

    It is Windows 8.1x64 with Nvidia driver 350.12 I can use as high as 353.62. However I have used newer drivers which work great on other titles but lockup ESO randomly within a few minutes. Really not big deal for me as I only play ESO. Also I am not the only one with this lockup issue with ESO on new Nvidia drivers. See other thread.

    Try completely uninstalling your drivers with Drive Sweep
    http://www.guru3d.com/content-page/guru3d-driver-sweeper.html

    Then reinstalling the newest driver. (I am using 359.06)

    Then take your cards of out of 4XSLI and try one card. If you don't have the same problem with one card then it is your SLI setup and this game isn't optimized for SLI

    I have been running dual gtx980's and triple Monitors for about 6 months now, before that triple 970's I am not having these problems. Recheck your SLI configs and verify that the settings are indeed functioning. I notice a frame drop in heavily populated cities but nothing as severe as other people have to deal with. I can run Star Citizen at High settings and 3840X2160 resolution with no issues check your CPU grab some of Intel's CPU utilities. When did you last do a Geforce driver update? Have you tried to roll back your drivers?Are your Bios versions matched on your cards? Is load sharing equal? Are temps equal? Do you have anything with Vulkan API on your system?

    I only run one monitor for ESO I do not like the wide view and I'm not going to debezel my monitors. I run all three for SC.

My power supplies for the system are dual 1500 watt and a single 750 watt. They all connect into a L6-30 twist lock PDU that supplies only 220v power. The wattage is measured at the wall when the game was in DX9 mode it was around 1220 watts with about 100 watt in variances. Now is DX11 mode FPS are around 35 to 50 although with GSYNC all still looks great, but the video cards are at 99% usage and my wattage measured at the wall is 1870 watts with about 150watt in variances. That is about a 650 watt increase.

    When the computer was in DX9 mode:
    Winter cost is about $0.13 an hour
    Summer cost is about $0.16 an hour

    Computer in DX11 mode:
    Winter cost is about $0.21 an hour
    Summer cost will be about $0.32 an hour

    Not to mention the air-condition works harder when the computer is putting off more heat, and with the ridiculous grinds in this game this is going to get expensive. Yeah, yeah, I know this system was very expensive 2+ years ago but that is CAPEX not OPEX cost. You should have a choice to change it back to DX9.

    Sorry just to put things in perspective, the 1220 watt figure you gave is enough electricity to power a window air conditioner to cool about a 500 square foot room and the power supply total 3750 watts is enough to run a 3 ton central unit on a 2000 square foot home. If you were concerned about saving the planet by not wasting electricity,,, I think you missed the mark.

    As far as the system itself goes,,,,, SWEEEEET :)

    @NeoXanthus - I agree with @WalkingLegacy about removing your drivers completely and re-installing. However, that user posted an older tool. Please use the updated Display Driver Uninstaller (also hosted at Guru3D).

    Before you do anything below, make sure to take a snapshot of your system. If you're using a product like Acronis True Image, create a new image. If not, create a System Restore Point. Now go and download the latest driver package from Nvidia so you won't have to mess with it with no display driver installed.
    1. Run DDU and let it reboot your system into safe mode. Let it do its thing and reboot back to normal mode.
    2. Install the new driver you downloaded when your system is back up. Choose Express Installation.
    3. Just to be safe, reboot about a minute after it finishes installing.
    4. Now open GeForce Experience, let it scan for games, and choose to optimize ESO (there may be two entries, choose to optimize both).
    5. Load it up and see what happens.

    Before you do anything below, make sure to take a snapshot of your system. If you're using a product like Acronis True Image, create a new image. If not, create a System Restore Point. Now go and download the latest driver package from Nvidia so you won't have to mess with it with no display driver installed.
    1. Run DDU and let it reboot your system into safe mode. Let it do its thing and reboot back to normal mode.
    2. Install the new driver you downloaded when your system is back up. Choose Express Installation.
    3. Just to be safe, reboot about a minute after it finishes installing.
    4. Now open GeForce Experience, let it scan for games, and choose to optimize ESO (there may be two entries, choose to optimize both).
    5. Load it up and see what happens.

    EDIT: To everyone in this thread that isn't trying to help @NeoXanthus - for the love of Akatosh, please take the trolling somewhere else. If you're not actively trying to help, don't post. A moderator has come in here once already.


    FakeAlGore – Just want to say thank you so much for your help. Because of so many people thinking this was an issue with my software configuration I went a little more extreme with trying to resolve the issue. My computer hard drives including the boot drive are on all on caddies. So I just easily replaced the boot drive and installed Windows 10. I also installed the NVidia 364.51, minimum systems drivers and MSI Afterburner for monitoring. I downloaded ESO and ran it without any add-ons. The results were exactly the same on this clean new OS. My GPU usage is 99% my FPS were between 30 and 45 at 7680x1440 on this DX11 game. I then changed my resolution to a single monitor at 2560x1440 on this DX11 game and my FPS when to 100FPS and my GPU usage was around 35%. I have now come to realization if I want to use 7680x1440 now that the game requires DX11 I need to upgrade my GPUs to something a little more current be able to run this game at this high resolution. I starting looking at possible a set of Titan X-es but I think I am going to wait until the Geforce X80 Titan’s are released. Again thank you for your help.

    Running 4 Titans and complain about power usage? I'm speechless ...

    Exactly. Not sure why someone with such huge gaming overhead to begin with is complaining about it he increased cost especially since these changes should lead to an overall improvement in graphics, the effects of our skills and fights mechanics of bosses.

    If it's about wear and tear then lessen the load. Reduce the monitor and cards and that should reduce the wear and the power bill.
