The MMORPG Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) offers you a vast game world filled with content. The game is well received by users, but there is criticism primarily regarding its poor performance. A technology from Nvidia could now help at least some users.
The MMORPG Elder Scrolls Online is popular and very successful. However, there has been significant criticism regarding the game’s performance for some time now.
Long loading times in ESO annoy many players, while lags and weak frame rates spoil the enjoyment of the MMORPG for some users.
However, regarding the poor frame rate, there is at least good news for some. With the latest update, players of ESO now have access to two new graphics features from Nvidia.
ESO gets DLSS and DLAA – Aims to provide up to 50% more FPS
Some users have already had the chance to test the new features on the Elder Scrolls Online test server. The MMORPG ESO is also the first MMORPG to offer “Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing (DLAA).
Here’s why new technology brings you better performance: DLSS scales low resolutions up to high resolutions like 4K, saving performance as a result. This allows you to play at high resolutions while maintaining a stable frame rate. However, the image quality may suffer slightly depending on the DLSS level. The advantage is that you can achieve significantly higher frame rates this way. According to Nvidia, they speak of an increase in frame rates of up to 50% (via nvidia.com).
Who benefits from this? Both DLAA and DLSS focus on improving performance (higher FPS) without requiring better hardware. This should especially please users with an Nvidia graphics card who do not want to pay thousands of euros for a graphics card on eBay.
However, owners of an AMD graphics card are initially out of luck, as Nvidia’s technology only works with RTX graphics cards. These use so-called Tensor cores, which are responsible for the calculations. AMD has at least introduced AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution as a DLSS alternative. Whether AMD’s FSR will also find its way into the world of ESO in the future remains to be seen.
In addition to new graphics technology, Update 32 brings many other improvements
In addition to graphical improvements, there are also further new contents for ESO. The developers have now presented the new area Deadlands.
Above all, a desired feature with Update 32 is coming that many players have been waiting for. This involves “Armory Assistants”: here, character builds can be saved and changed with the push of a button at any time. This is especially interesting for users who want or need to quickly switch their set during boss fights.
We will present all features and new specifics of the new Update 32 in detail in our overview:
