So.... the developers on the internal client aren't running the game on ultra? Its never been tested? Hmm interesting theory, please tell us more about how the sky is falling.

The amount of ignorance in this post, warrants no reply. If you cant comprehend hardware limitations not being evident in a beta client limiting hardware enhancements, there is nothing I can say to even converse with you.

This game is not taxing on a pc like many that are out today. It's always run very smooth

Anyone else feel like the OP is the same dude pulling out the instructions for setting up a Microwave? I get that feeling.

Last hardware advice post I ever make Learned my lesson. Inform people that the game isn't currently running at full graphics and GPUs may struggle, and you get a pole swinging contest of people trying to defend their own PC as if I personally attacked it.

Go buy whatever you guys want Im done!

game looked way better when we had the free 5 hours last weekend. too bad you missed it

well I for one have no emotion what so ever here and simply pointed out now that the full screen is out I did not see much if any difference in FPS. I think your post was a legit one to note

If you are correct, I would be so happy come sunday

Oh... fercryingoutloud.

Is this what we have been reduced to whilst waiting for launch?

Here's my input (based on what seems to be a thread summary so far): I ran the game on Ultra, and I could run separate displays at the same time. Oh sorry, I must have been mistaken and it turns out that this game designed to run on older PCs actually performed less well on my current up to date rig than I imagined (not). Oh Whoops (sarcasm mode).

Except, I run IT here in San Jose for a rather well known corporation. I'm just tired of people lying and your post does nothing but say, "WE DON'T KNOW."

So yeah, you come off as a dolt, nothing I can do or care to do to change that. Once you get an education and/or grow up try giving real advice based in facts and not speculation. Not a single company will take you seriously if all you can do is speculate and never actually invest the time for rational thought.

So please lets never converse, I don't get paid to teach folks of your ilk.

Your logic is flawed. I cant even begin to explain to you why this is flawed if you don't grasp basic computer concepts.

If you add more detail to a game by adding more detail to EVERYTHING in the world, you will lose performance. Detail that was NOT in the beta client, and appears it WILL be at launch.

Thats my point. If you don't like it, sorry?

you run IT dealing with video cards and GPU performance I am sure. Because most IT guys in business worry about GPU specs, antialiasing, and the like.

Boy you really put me into my place!

Lets not.

every time i played eso it was incredible FPS and looked awesome was about 55 - 60 fps constant (in windowed mode) but Allways within 20 minutes i was droping FPS and graphics till was down to 10 FPS. so i then rebooted eso fresh and it went right back to 60 fps and again after 20 minutes i was down again to 10 - 15 fps. why is that happening? from the stress testing?

this last weekend we got 5 hrs play time and i was Amazed at the better fps and better graphics were Golden! and i mean they were best ive ever seen my fps stayed alot longer at 60 fps for now 30 minutes at a time but still droped to 11 - 15 fps

im on an old pc using 1 gig geforce gt 640 with 8 gig onboard

So now you know the exact coding, have tested it on multiple configurations and know the exact scaling? Amazing....

PS - That word concepts, you're using it wrong.

Who said business? But yeah even our T430s have Nvidia cards and my Engineers, Marketing and Design teams have systems rocking up to 32Gb RAM, but please tell us know more about your wisdom from the gas station.

Just stay out of the advice field, the lies and misuse of words are killing me. =)

Even if that is the case, we are still not talking concrete facts are we, because none of us have actually tried it. It's conjecture.

But you cant understand the concept that antialiasing decreases performance, as do the other hardware driving details? I mean, you did miss that basic concept in your determination to jump up to the top of the flame party.

Adding detail reduces performance. Buying a lower end GPU because it currently runs the game (without all of these enhancements) may give undesired results. Thats my point, and it is 100% valid, and 100% factual.

Done.

Since when does a warning, need 100% facts? I clearly say that no one has run this game on full detail given the fact that full screen wasnt in the game. It was a warning to be careful what you buy, not saying for a certain fact lower end GPUs will not run it.

That is all I was trying to do. A few people in this thread understood that.

haha, I recently bought a 27inch monitor and [censored] is enormous feeling. 46 inches must be rediculous. I plan on getting a R9 270 model graphics card also since some of them are running for 220-250 dollars which is cheap and one of the best deals out there at the moment for price.

Is it hard to lie to yourself and expect others others, let alone yourself to believe in these lies? I think it would be, but you seem fairly comfortable with them... interesting.

Also, you just based something that said is 100% valid and 100% factual by using the word, "may." Let me help you out a little bit here since I am convinced you don't know what words mean.

May = Expressing possibility.

Did anyone say it wasn't possible? Or are people saying that you are simply stating that the sky is falling because you don't know something? Also, once again anti-aliasing isn't a "concept", not sure why you keep using that word incorrectly but its bothersome. So please check out this site for further details: http://www.tweakguides.com/Graphics_11.html

Hope this helps, but all I see is someone irrational and wants to be heard, not helpful, just wants to be out there...

Dude I am with you, I have 2 32" monitors myself and that is plenty. For me a 46" might actually be too big at least for my office at home.

Where did you get that from? What does AA or AF has to do with full screen vs windowed mode?

These features are performed by the rendering hardware in response to commands sent by the software (the ESO client in this case) through the graphics API (e.g. DirectX on Windows) to render the graphics. The rendered graphic can be sent to to full screen view, windowed view or even video stream. It is the software that calls the API that decides which graphic features are used for rendering, not the GPU that someone magically decides this based on wether the result displayed on full screen or not.

It is very well possible that these graphics features are not enabled yet in the beta client, I don't know. But it has NOTHING to do with full screen or windowed mode.

I was sure someone gave me a ticking off in this thread for saying I could run it on ultra, I am sure because I have a top-notch rig I will still be able to do so regardless of what changes are made.

This game is not going to be the most trying thing that my pretty new hardware encounters over the next 12 months.

Witcher 3 I am worried might get my gpu hot and bothered, ESO I am not worried about.

And this is not a criticism of ESO, it's an awsome game. But let's not try to pretend that it's going to make my rig run home and cry to mommy - because as much as I love the game, this isn't that game.

Appreciate the point about telling people what hardware they might need to run the game, fair enough. But I have mostly steered clear of that on the basis that "you don't really know what it needs until it's released". I think that is more the point you are getting at
