He mentioned above that one is Home and one is Pro. Didn't give version numbers.

How do the drivers compare?

People often mistakenly assume that the newest hardware with the newest drivers will run more optimally than the hardware and drivers that actually formed the basis of the machines on which the game was developed and initially tested. If a machine is performing worse than you would expect, try rolling back the drivers.

There can also be a difference in the efficiency of the OS as between Home and Pro editions, especially in respect of Windows 10 as with the Home edition you have no control over the updates that are installed as compared with the Pro edition when you can be more selective - do they both have the same updating history? Are they both running the same version of Windows 10 - that's a massive potential cause if not.

drivers might be an issue. both pcs have an nvidia card but the drivers on my older oc are definitely older. and the os is olso different older pc runs win 10 home and newer pc win 10 pro both 64bit

i am running an ssd on both pcs
my old pc has a Drevo x1 ssd and my newer pc a samsung 850 pro ssd. the difference is that eso is running from the ssd on the older pc

There's your problem right there, the fact that you're running the game off of a HDD on your newer PC. It doesn't much matter if the OS is running off of a SSD on the newer PC if the game itself has to load off a HDD. MMOs need to load a lot of stuff from disk as you move through the game world, encounter different mobs, zones etc. A SSD does make a big difference.

You need to move the game to the SSD and run it from there, see if this improves anything (it's my hunch it will, significantly).

Indeed, which is why I pressed him on the version numbers. However, @Cernow may well have cracked it.

You may also have a lot of shovelware or antivirus software on the new machine. It's the main reason I still build my own, I control what gets installed.

Its always the best to build your own.

Always assuming you are technically qualified to do so.

My local computer repair shop would soon be out of business if it wasn't for self-builders and over-clockers.

I'm no expert. I've been using my self-built PC for almost 3 years now. I can't say it wasn't without any problems, but I have gained a lot of experience in those years.

after some testing yesterday, moving my newer pc to the smart tv and playing with the wireless combo, eso felt exactly as it should be. nice and smooth. i thought the problem was my keyabord or mouse so i moved them to my normal monitor and played a couple of pledges and i didnt see the improvements in gameplay i was seeing on my smart tv. It seems like the problem is my monitor but i can't understand how a tv (i wasnt using game mode) can be more responsive than an actually monitor with 5ms response time

NVidia drivers have gone to $hit.

Monitor response time and input lag are two different things.

The response time is how quickly an image can be displayed and has an impact on quality of moving images, ghosting etc. Input lag is how long it takes the monitor to react to movements with your mouse or key presses.

A good response time does not guarantee good input lag. Have a look at some reviews for your monitor and you should see some figures for each and how they compare to other models.

I too am interested in what you find out with your old computer to your monitor also. I have been using a TV for most of my gaming as I have not bought my own monitor yet.
[At least I have something to play on!]
