PTS and multicore?
-
ZOS_AlexTardif✭✭✭✭PTS 1 doesn't have all of the performance improvements, there are a number of additional changes that are rolling out in upcoming PTS iterations. Quad-core machines (without hyperthreading) in particular should see a bump in the next PTS update. We're also tracking down and smoothing out hitching issues, specifically ones people encounter when running through cities and the FPS tanks abruptly for a few frames.
To give more technical details for those who are interested, you should not expect even distribution across your CPU cores after this update, just more distribution to the non-main-thread cores than you had before, especially at times when there are a lot of things loading in. Your main core thread will still be topping off, trying to go as fast as it can through each frame. For almost all of you, the bottleneck of your framerate is your CPU, not your GPU, so if you're not seeing high utilization of your GPU, it's most likely because the CPU-side of the game isn't keeping up.
Given that ESO originally had to support very old CPUs, it's no secret that it was written from the ground-up as an effectively single-threaded application. As time went on and the min-spec was updated, and with the launch of Tamriel Unlimited/XB1/PS4, it necessitated the ability to use multiple cores in order for the game to run well (as it should). The work started then and continues through the present.
It's been an ongoing process to shift work over to other cores (and to the GPU) where we can in order to make the game perform better, and the work involved in doing so is fairly complex. It's not something we can point to and say "make all cores do the same amount of work" (though that is the goal!), it's typically "this certain part of the update takes a long time, let's find a way to shift that work over to other cores." Doing that is almost always a bit of a challenge because we have to make sure the cores that do that work don't conflict with things other cores are doing, which can cause corruption, crashes, hangs, etc. We also have to ensure that the changes are positive across all the platforms as well, from the wide range of supported CPUs on Windows + Mac, to XB1 and PS4, so these changes have to come out incrementally to ensure we make the experience better across the board.
We have a lot more work to do here, and we will continue to make improvements. There's always something that can be made better.
PS: Pro tip, if you have a good GPU and have all your settings maxed but want higher performance, change your Reflection Quality to Low instead of Medium or High. "Low" reflections are actually using screen-space reflections, rather than heavy-duty planar reflections. Planar reflections are more accurate, but they're far harder on the CPU, whereas screen space reflections are almost entirely a GPU operation and should lighten the load on your CPU quite a bit.Zenimax Online Studios92 -

Thanks for the clarification. My brother and I played with reflection setting earlier and did notice a substantial difference (+15-30 frames). The framerate is better in the delves as well we visited as well. I appreciate the feedback!2 -

✭Now that I see what AlexT wrote, I'm waiting for the next iteration of the PTS. I only had one crash with the current one
(I used the crash report for Z to see it). But it seemed like the game was running worse than live. Could be my cpu though
(i7-6700, which is an older chip).Edited by radiostar on April 20, 2018 4:22AM"Billions upon Billions of Stars"1 -

This kind of explanations are very welcomed. Very appreciated.9 -
HuawaSepp✭✭✭Yeah great explanation.
On live I drop to 22 fps when the whole trial group drops ultimates and else i get 30+ fps in every trial.
On pts in vet Cloudrest the lowest fps were 38.
That's a nice increase.
Still some add ons won't let the fps raise above 50 after one wipe.
The curious thing is that in trials not even one of my cpu cores is near 100% usage only in big pvp battles.

✭✭✭✭So, if my GPU is running at near 100% on PTS that's a good sign that my CPU is working a lot faster than it does on live, where my GPU is usually about 40% ?

possibly yes, but not necessarily. If you were completely bottlenecked before by singlethread cpu performance and now on pts less because of the multicore offloading changes that could cause the GPU to be used more indeed, but it's not likely that it would jump from 40% to 100%
There are other factors and bugs to take into account. It could even be as simple as the pts build putting unnecessary extra load on your gpu in it's current state because of a graphics bug. Also all factors you use to test on pts would have to be as identical as possible as when testing the same thing on liveEdited by profundidob16_ESO on April 20, 2018 11:00AM0 -
zsban✭✭✭✭@ZOS_AlexTardif Thank you for the detailed explanation! Would like to hear more technical details about what the quality settings do - it's a huge help to try to hand tune the game for a particular machine.
Also I have a question: on my machine even the main core is not 100% maxed out, (it's usually around 80-90%) and my gpu is around 60% still the FPS fluctuates a lot. So it does not seem to be a CPU bottleneck, more like a latency issue before a frame is finished... Any suggestions what to change to improve the performance? This happens a lot in cities and in certain trial bosses.1 -

The game has my CPU and GPU pretty idle all the time on all the highest details and yet I still have frame rates below the 100fps limit half the time. Here is a preliminary comparison between live and PTS cpu usage.
It's not really telling us much since the PTS doesn't have many players and effects in Vvardenfell/Vivec City and I also used a lot less addons on PTS, but it does look like the load is spread out a bit more. Will be interesting to see how additional performance optimizations in the next PTS cycles change it.https://www.imperialtradingcompany.eu/ - My Addons - The Vault (Early updates and experimental projects) - My patreon - My blog0 -

The reason why you will most likely never see 100% CPU usage is because those cores have to wait for each other to finish what they are doing in order to move on to the next round of calculations.
Multicore CPU's are truly at their best when each core is doing it's own thing with a completely separate program running on each core independent of each other.
If they are all part of the same program, then you have dependencies and it becomes a balancing act of how much splitting up of calculations is best. It's almost a trial and error thing.
BTW, if your GPU is not getting enough of a workout, you can always bump up your resolution or use some DSR 4K or something. It looks pretty, you can turn off AA and get some eye candy out of that hardware.0 -

@ZOS_AlexTardif
I wasn't expecting you guys to make the game a multi threaded monster, however I was hoping for a return to old performance where strangely before the Thieves Guild update where one core wasn't as pegged all the time. It seems to me currently a lot of jobs that don't need to use the main thread like to jump onto it and you end up pretty much with this:
I'm also hoping you are thinking of AMD Ryzen when doing your tweaks rather than just old & new intel processors.0 -

I upgraded from an i7-6600 to an i7-8700 last week. I gained about 30 FPS in crowded hubs (from 40 to 70+) with the same GPU (1080ti).
I play at 3440x1440, so the extra power was sorely needed

Thank you so much @ZOS_AlexTardif for the detailed explanation! I was wondering why my FPS in the spawn area of Summerset where about the same as a normal, busy day in Vivec. Glad to hear there will be more improvements, also thank you for the tip concerning the reflections!
I remember that waaaaay back on one or two occasions during an ESO live episode and/or an interview at a gaming convention you guys (Rich?) talked about looking into getting ESO onto DX12. Is that still a thing you are looking into? Are you guys also looking into Vulkan? I would be super interested to hear anything about this.2 -
Aleris✭✭✭not sure i understood , but it's been said that quad core machines witout hyperthreading should see a bump.. so what about my i7 7700? i maen it's a quadcore but with hyperthreading so no improvement here ? could someone explain this to me? thankies) 0

Then what reflection setting IS he talking about? Water is the only one I see. I wouldn't say "definitely not" or "definitely so" without clarification from a dev.
