Low FPS

I have a Nvida 1080 along with 16 MB and a 27 in Asus monitor with 144mhz refresh. Yet I still get blow 60 fps constantly in any area of the game. I'm not saying I should be able to sit at 144 fps during a raid or in PvP or anything, but just walking around in Deshaan I should be around like 90 or so at the very least I would think.

    What server and where are you located? Could be a latency problem.

    What CPU do you have?

    Latency does not cause low FPS.

    You can try this, it really boosted my FPS.

    Plus for the graphics hit you can install SweetFX which takes care of that issue. Been running around between 70 to 100 FPS.

    CPU - ESO will run on any GPU and ignore that it exists (more or less)

    but if the CPU is not totally over kill you will get low FPS anywhere it is buzy

    Pretty much this, even my GTX970 has nothing to do most of the time.

    This has been common for MMOs for like over than 10 years, you really need extremely fast CPUs (less cores, but faster) to get good performance, specially in PvP environments.

    Be happy with 60.

    No matter what PC you have ESO will always be a problematic game because of how poorly is being made, not capable on using your CPU+GPU on their max while it lags like oblivion.


    They will never fix this, but hey crown store gets constantly new items for us to buy :trollface:

    yikes! with that CPU you should indeed be WAY over 60fps

    you could try logging your CPU/GPU load (ant temps) in game along with disk access to see if something is bottle necking (disk access would only cause freezes, like when Master Merchant loads when you log in) but still worth to check out.

    Overclock it a bit to 4.3-4.5(not reeeeeally needed) if you can with your motherboard, bump resolution to 4k to become gpu bottlenecked, then max out everything and enjoy it.

    4k gaming almost always will ignore the CPU you have, giving you about the same range of frames whether you have a Pentium or an i9.

    If you don't know how to bump to 4k, you wanna use Nvidia DSR, dynamic super resolution I think. Google it but it's super easy to get going, nothing too fancy.

    I used to run 4k max at 50-60fps on a 1060 3gb, and a fx6300 at 4.4ghz. you can do a lot more than that for sure.

    Have fun!

    Thank you so much for posting this. This helped me out a lot. I got about 10 FTS increase.

    While the game doesn't look as nice the performance increased greatly. Will try high traffic areas to see if it still works or not.

    *edit*

    Just did the tweaks to the PC that he did and now I have like 20-40 FPS increase. Will take a while to get use to the lower graphics though.

    My monitor doesn't support 4k. I've thought about returning what I have and getting a 4k monitor, but not sure I want to drop the money right now it.

    I wouldn't recommend getting a 4K monitor with a GTX1080. If you really want to game at more than 60FPS (or locked 60 with all newer games in max settings) you gonna need a 1080Ti (minimum) or one of the new RTXs.

    What he recommended tho, is DSR. DSR renders your game internally at a higher resolution (be it 1440p or 4k) and then scales it down to 1080p so it can be shown on your monitors native resolution. It effectively removes jaggies like Anti-aliasing would. If you go this way, set DSR Smoothness between 10% and 15%, any more and it starts to look smudged.

    It doesn't need to support it, the DSR technology makes your pic "believe" the screen is 4k, then it shrinks the image back to 1080p or whatever other resolution you have. Looks better too, a little bit. It's just a Nvidia driver magic trick. I encourage you to Google it and check how it works. Just a few clicks, nothing fancy at all.

    Ok, I'll check that out then later and see what it looks like. Thanks.

    So this is kinda weird. The games actually look worse. When I up the resolution to 4k they get blurry

    Hm... It should get crispier, not blurry. Indeed weird. I'm sorry I can't help you with this one. :/

    Check the last paragraph in my other post ;)
    Need to also select a resolution as close as possible to 2x your monitors resolution for the downscaling to look its best.

    Letters ain't gonna look as crisp as native resolution, but the jaggies will be gone and game in general does look better.
