eso game setup hardware
Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with “Elder Scrolls Online” lately, and I figured I’d share my experience getting the game set up, hardware-wise. It’s been a bit of a journey, so buckle up!
First off, I wanted to make sure my rig could even handle the game. I did a quick search online and saw that the recommended specs mention a Windows 10 64-bit operating system, an Intel Core i5 2300 or AMD FX4350 processor, and 8 GB of RAM. I checked my system, and thankfully, I was good on those fronts. Phew!
Next, I had to check if I had enough storage space. The game’s a bit of a chonker, so this was important. I found out I needed quite a bit of space. Luckily, I had a good amount of free space on my SSD, so I moved on.
Now, onto the graphics card. I wanted this game to look good, you know? Based on what I saw, a GeForce GTX 750 was recommended, but I was using the Team Red’s RX 6800. I heard that this GPU performs really well, even better than some of the newer RTX cards, at least in some benchmarks. During my testing, I found that RX 6800 is a good choice.
After getting the game installed, I fired it up and…well, it wasn’t as smooth as I’d hoped. The frame rate was a little choppy, especially in crowded areas. Time to tinker!
I hopped into the in-game settings menu. I figured I’d start by adjusting the graphics settings. Based on some tips I found, I set the general graphics to “Minimum,” but I kept the texture quality at “Medium” to keep things looking decent. I also set the subsampling to “High” and the resolution to my monitor’s default. This made the game run smoother, and it still looked pretty alright, so that’s a win.
- Go to the in-game settings menu.
- Set general graphics to “Minimum.”
- Set texture quality to “Medium.”
- Set subsampling to “High.”
- Set resolution to default.
After playing around with these settings, the game’s performance improved a lot. I was getting much better frame rates, and the game was looking pretty sweet. Mission accomplished!
So, there you have it, my little adventure in setting up “Elder Scrolls Online.” It took a bit of tweaking, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some dragons to slay!
