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

@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.
Run DDU and let it reboot your system into safe mode. Let it do its thing and reboot back to normal mode.

Install the new driver you downloaded when your system is back up. Choose Express Installation.

Just to be safe, reboot about a minute after it finishes installing.

Now open GeForce Experience, let it scan for games, and choose to optimize ESO (there may be two entries, choose to optimize both).

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.

Pascal GPU should be out shortly.

Well, it was worth a shot.

If you want to wait for Nvidia's Pascal architecture, I doubt the Titan series will be out for at least a couple of quarters. They usually lag behind the main release by a bit, and the main release is the 1080 in May. Perhaps this could be a Christmas present to yourself?

Pascal GPU is what i'm waiting for.

NeoXanthus

Try one last thing out of curiosity. Do not use MSI afterburner and just enable the SLI Load bar in the nvidia control panel.

Should have thought of power cost when you built that thing. It's not like it was going to be anywhere near cheap running that thing.

I'm also not really sure if you need to run all those cards at once for eso? SLI does not share memory and the multi-gpu support eso has is quite terrible. I've ran both SLI and CrossfireX setups. Eventually bought 1 980ti and it has never run smoother.
