Hello folks,

I just built a new rig. i5 4670k, 8gb ram (they are running at 1333mHz by default) and gtx 780. I failed to install the Cooler Master 212 cpu cooler, wouldn't fit in my old chassi unfortunately, so I am running on the stock cooler for now.

I am a bit disappointed in the FPS I get. With everything maxed out I get 20-30 fps in big pvp battles, mostly in the lower scale, like 22 fps. Out in the open empty world I get between 42-60 fps for the most part. Does this seem right?

I could play on ultra settings on my old rig, at least out in the open world. It was an i7 950, 6gb ram and a 6850.

I am guessing it's the game, and not my hardware, but not sure. Unigine valley extreme settings I got 66 fps iirc.

Sorry for long post, and thanks
 


I haven't played Elder scrolls online (yet?), but every MMO that has ever been, has had this same problem in large scale PvP, and it is not the GPU that holds back performance, it has always been the CPU. I remember DAoC with 100 vs 100 battles with 5-10 FPS. It was crazy, and no MMO has ever solved this issue in large scale warfare (20+ vs 20+).

What size of PvP battles are they, and have you monitors your GPU/CPU usage during those battles. I bet your GPU shows low usage, due to the CPU not being able to keep up.
