any suggestions ?

    There is an option, you have to scroll down all the way, might be in interface. Generally the ping number isn't true during high server stress, like in pvp.

    In anticipation of your next question:

    No, your "very good gaming rig" won't do you any good in your quest for good game performance because the majority of the lag is server side due to sub-par client/server architecture and implementation.

    Disagree, FPS issue are most of the time from player side who use poor optimized addon or who just have no clue about how to config graphic card and/or optimise FPS with in-game/CG option, or just very bad computer/connection.

    Lag spike are in PvP cuz to much people on one aera.
    Outside of chapter/big event release I never have lag issue.
    I've no fiber and my CG is not top tier, still I'm mostly anywhere with 100+ fps and 50 ping max.

    Every friend I know who add problem with fps/lag was in their side in the end.. (CG to hot, dust, bad setting, to old rig, etc..)

    @OP you can see FPS/Ping in game, look better in the setting.
    If you struggle with fps lower View Distance, and remove reflection, that the two big FPS killer, like most mmorpg.

    Also a new gen CG/proc won't help you in old game like this since the game is not optimized for it.
    I've struggle a lot when I started and finally get x3 the perf when they add a patch for Ryzen compatibility.

    Take your time, to find good setting, google will help if you don't know anything like I was at start.
    Don't put ton of add-on, test them in lot of situation 1b1, lot of them are very bad optimized and kill perf.

    The game is far from perfect, but their is far less issue than some people said.

    The performance issues are almost 100% server side and server related. We know this because they fixed many of the performance issues for the MYM event, and now things are back to normal trash can performance after making improvements prior to the MYM event, then scaling back those "fixes" after the event ended.

    You can't build a nicer computer than I have at this time....not for less than $5,000 anyway. And sure, you WILL get less lag and more fps if you drop your field of view to 20%...but then you won't see 80% of what's coming at you.

    Indeed, your rig doesn't matter in this game. Can run the latest of the latest and still get 30 fps in heavy fights if you play pvp.

    If performance issue was 100% server side all on the same server would have the exact same issues at the same time.
    In Cyrodil this would be all on that campaign independent on faction or location.
    Problem is that even something like Stadia who is rendered on servers is very sensitive to input lag and bandwidth.
    Stadia fails hard if you have have any of these.
    Now ESO is rendered client side. But its well known that some systems even if high end and having low latency and high bandwith has problems for unknown reasons.
    Guess that the noise to data level here is way to high, most configure their graphic to work well overland outside of combat, then enter huge zerg fights in Cyrodil and get performance issues. ZoS does their testing in house so lag is not part of their issues but seen an guild mate from south Africa jumping around in cyrodil, he was not running, it looked like sorcerer streak without the effects, it was seriously weird.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    I have constantly 60FPS in the game with maximum graphic settings, because I VSynched it, would be 100FPS without VSynch, only if it gets really full in PvP for example around Ballgroups my frames drop, but rarely below 20.
    And often if the Ping rises the Frames fall as well.

    If you go back through performance comments in patch notes, and the monthly performance updates, you can see the areas that they identified for graphics and FPS improvements, and they are client side.

    From what I have read, graphics in ESO is more CPU bound than GPU bound, so the game does not take full advantage of powerful GPUs, like other games and requires CPU power to manage. That has an effect on FPS.

    Hopefully, as they continue to move from DX9 to DX11, that will change.

    Nope, you are wrong. FPS issues are bad client optimization most of the time. There are hundreds of reports both here and in Steam where users with perfectly tuned monster rigs have trash performance. Even ZOS has acknowledged that the game has performance issues but somehow you found that it is all on player side.

    Finaly I got decent FPS question is if its due to CPU RAM MB upgrade from Vishera8350, DDR3@2GHz and 990 Sabretooth, to Ryzen3700x, DDR4@3200GHz and ROG X570 or its really ZOS work on performance patches?

    What to think?

    If it hasn't been said, ESO caps frames at 100 FPS. "/FPS" will display framerate, but your G Card software will do it as well.

    It should also be noted that ESO is not great at utilizing high end graphics cards. This game cares way more about your CPU.

    Also for those debating about server client side, the answer is its both.

    If you are sitting in deshaan or doing some light questing and your FPS is below 60 and you ping is through the roof, 9/10 that's on your end.

    But dont tell me that 300+ ping, and massive skill delay/lag in Cyro during prime time is client side. It's nonsense. People that claim to never have lag arent playing most of this game. My rig is a beast. I am at 100FPS, 3440x1440 on ultra settings most of the time, but I still experience unplayable lag during primetime. I also occasionally see crippling lag in VMA and certain trials, especially the +2, +3 mini trials.

    If you raid PVE long enough, you will find that the trial performance really comes and goes. I have seen guilds disband over server wide trial performance following a patch or update of some sort where they broke something.
