ESO unplayable due to FPS issues on a high end PC
Hello ESO Community,
ever since HoR launched im not getting enough FPS anymore to play anymore. Whenever there is a lot of action on the screen my framerate drops below 10 fps which i consider unplayable. This includes pretty much all 4 player and above content.
I first thought it to be a driver issue however my drivers are up to date any other game runs fine (honestly its not hard to run smother than ESO ;-). Also keep in mind that my drivers didnt change that day, it was ESO that changed when the issue started.
To get deeper into the issue i ran 3 tests with 3 different graphical settings at the same in game location in game. As you can see the game roughly uses only 8% CPU in the task manager. I expect the difference to the process explorers value to be system calls and calls to drivers. In any case .. the question is why doesnt ESO use more of my PCs resources?
