I have been playing ESO since sunday (early preorder access). The performance is not bad really. My system info is below. I am playing on an external dell 24'' HD monitor 4220l.
With all setting on high (except AO / AA disabled) I get over 30fps at 1920 x 1080. Some zones it will go up as high as 55 fps but in hard fighting scenes it may dip below 30 fps for a few moments and then go back up.
I've noticed this game makes good use of my I7 but disabling CPU turbo does not impact the FPS. I have tried it in both small areas (like dungeons) and larger areas such as Daggerfall with lots of players.
So the bottom line, if you have a 720p screen or a 1080p screen, you should have no problems playing ESO at high detail levels (including shadows) and maintain 30fps.
Side Note: I did OC my GPU a bit to see if I could squeeze out a few more fps. Going from 835/2000 to 1050/2200 net'd me 5 to 6 more fps in most areas.
System:
M14xR2
i7-3610qm
720p screen (native)
8gb Ram (hyper x w/ heatshields)
250 Samsung SSD
Bios a013 modified
Windows 8.1
fine print: Please don't ask about mod bios or "how to" questions. Many threads already exists on how to get more performance from your AW14. Thanks!
