I think the ram is the issue. IMO.
I have 6gb and will have 5.1 used when running the game and a browser. Windows on startup uses over 1gb for me. Though steam is running in the background and vent as well as a few other small apps.
I have found than when over a certain amount of memory is used up for page file it really slows down. Seems to be around the 75% mark. I guess it is hitting the hard drive to often at that point.
Though you meet the suggested requirements by far so they should be able to keep it within that window that they are telling you is what they recommend.

Did you not just see the massive losses that Nintendo is expecting this fiscal year?
$838 MILLION.
Foot to mouth?
Yeah that happens when they are spending a lot in R&D on a new console
-
People are inquiring to me too.
You know what I tell them?
Stay the **** away, wait 6 months, and maybe the game will be worth the time investment that I have already made into it.
Stay the 4 asterisk away?

I've been using the Corsair Vengeance 1500.
No complaints. Everything sounds great, it's comfy and apparently the voice clarity is good for TS.
Friend just got these as well and likes them a lot. The best quality sound in vent I have heard yet.

i use the wireless version of the G35 logitech and have a large head and to me, the headphone band tension is too too tight and at times would leave me feeling i had a tension headache. I swapped over to a pair of sennheisers and they are much more comfortable.
There is a trick for that. When not in use you put them on your computer case with one cup on each side. Gets the band more relaxed. Do that until they feel comfortable and than do not put them on the case anymore. Worked for me.

Logitech G35's. Very happy with them. In other games they have worked great as well.
Heard some really good things about Corsair's Headsets. The new Vengeance 1500's are supposed to be very decent and a good price considering.
My next set I might try out the Corsair's but also happy with the Logitech's.

How do you know if its working?
Would be nice to have someone reply with some hard numbers of before and after on how it ran. Unfortunately with it being an MMO it will be different everytime so to many variables but I think with the space you could get an idea or avg it out in your head.
What were you getting before for fps?
Now what do you get on avg?

Take some screenshots yourself and use http://photosynth.net/ to merge them together

"I'm only like..."
I stopped reading there and completely understand why.
=)
Nice that you noticed that

I've had these "magic" FPS moments myself, I moved the Windows Start bar from one monitor to the other and the next game play session had way better FPS.
The improved FPS didn't last, as I started to play the next day the FPS was back to stuttering.
So yes doing weird stuff sometimes removes the FPS issue, but it's not an long term solution since it usually just break down again.
Still worth finding out IMO. If it happens to last than they will be happy if not than they are only back to where they were before.

CCC + MOM is the drivers own control panel....
Bad idea to remove it, just unload the exe files while you don't use them.
There are tools like GBoost, GameBooster and alike that can assist with just that.
Can you elaborate on why it is a bad idea. Unless I want to manually force a feature there is no reason to have it.
Had my 9800pro cooked with using it (not saying that is why it died). The 4870 I have now is 3.5 years old and works better without it.
I miss out on some things but to be honest I find I do not miss them at all. Though I am sincerely curious as to why it is a bad idea? I have never heard someone say that before.
-
I do not use the CCC either and have found that I am not having issues. Runs well.

Played over my blackberry last night. Talk about long load times on the same computer. Back to high speed tomorrow, thankfully.
I think it pulls a lot from the server even though the whole game is on your drive already so not sure what it has to pull at that time but faster connections will help for sure.
Though I think after a while you hit a wall so after a certain speed (2mb connection just as an example) the load times do not change or they cannot push that info to you faster.
CPU will play a part as well but again you hit that magic wall at a fairly low clock speed which most people are above.

DO NOT LISTEN TO THE TROLLS IN THIS THREAD!
Now back to your question.
ATI runs this game better than Nvidia. This benchmark clearly shows you get a 10%-20% increase in performance with equal value card.
For an example if you decide between a GTX 570 and a Radeon 6970 they are both in the same price segment and they are both equal in terms of performance in most games. But in this game ATI is around 15% faster.
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/star-wars-gaming-tests-review,3087-7.html
Good to have the link to the performance comparisons.
So ATI seems to be what the game favors in terms of performance. No wonder I have hardly had any issues

riiiight, because they're not biased
AT
ALL
Anand himself I have found enjoys harping on hardware manufactures no matter who makes it. When needed he will push them pretty hard to fix things or admit to them.
Though others do write articles for Anandtech and I have seen some bias in theirs. Tom's Hardware as well is usually fairly good but it is more about who does the review than the site itself.
-
And oh dear, I forgot that asking for comparisons between AMD/ATI vs Nvidia is like asking for input on Democrat vs Republican, Coke vs Pepsi, Sith vs Jedi. I definitely did not intend to start any flame war with this thread.
Primarily, just want to know if there are any real, known issues with SWTOR and either chipset.
I have a radeon 4870 that works very well and is a little older. Only problem is when I first played in Beta the starting video did not show. Updated my drivers and have not had an issue since.
That said I get the idea from people talking on forums and some friends input, that Nvidia runs a little better and has less issues. Though if you got a 6870 I doubt you would be disappointed with how it ran and they are in a very good price/performance bracket

No.
No.
For the love of god no.
This idea is terrible. It will not work.
Know why? The same reason this exact idea didn't work in World of Warcraft: People are too lazy. Given the choice to park themselves next to the quest terminals in fleet and spam general chat, or go to a cantina in a completely different part of the game and click an NPC, they will spam general because it makes them run less.
Or they'll just go questing and ignore instances completely until the level cap just like they did in WoW when it had this exact same system.
Again no.
No.
Just no.
No cantina BS. Keep galaxies out of ToR, and keep your RP BS to your selves.
The choice is what people want!
I think people should not be able to post that an idea will not work unless they have a better idea that is proven. Maybe you do have a better idea (which is likely) but stop harping on others. Instead just state what your idea is. Sounds like you do not like RPG's which surprises me why your here posting.
RP in RPG stands for something.
-
I like all these ideas as well.
Co-Op style or PvP multiplayer.
The Han-Solo and Luke in the Falcon type of scenario.
Different "railed" routes for variety. etc
Game types like warzones have but in space. With the proper tweaking to make it work. I really could see this being fun. Only thing about space missions right now is that you separate yourself so much from the rest of the server and this would make it more involved.

The i3 is a weak processor, and onboard graphics are almost always a joke for modern gaming.
Shell out for a cheap video card (GTX 550TI or something like that), your system is not even close to a gaming rig, but throwing a high end video card won't solve all your problems since you're going to be CPU bottlenecking.
*EDIT -- it's worth noting that a discrete graphics card of decent quality (read: not an entry level card) will give you a significant boost in performance if you want to turn any eye candy on and run at any resolution above 800x600 or w/e the games minimum screen resolution is.
i3 at that clock is really not to bad. Not like a celeron with the cpu cache cut into 1/4. You should look up benchmarks on it.
The video card is going to be the main problem. IMO Intel's HD should not meet any min requirements for anything. They add the proper features and specs to meet these requirements but can never do them very well anyway. Get the 560 or 6870 and you will be a very happy with the results

DiskCacheStatic and DiskCacheStream can't have a direct symlink due to the engine creating the files and deleting them once used which would break the links, so we use a directory link to get around the issue.
As for testing I've left those 2 files off the ramdrive before with DiskCacheArena in the RamDrive.
The performance difference was noticeable which is why I stuck them into the drive itself via a directory symlink.
Kind of wish there was a check box for this for those with more memory. Would be nice to have the game do it automatically

not listed here. Though I think if it was him they sure would list it.

Because thats how game development works. They work side by side, so each company can have the latest developments. Either game updates/changes or GPU updates.
I would expect to see some drivers soon that specifically mentions tweaks and fixes for SWTOR.
Hopefully sooner rather than later. =)
-
Not a problem when it is this fast. ^^ And ill just replace them with newer stuff late this year. Or whenever revodrive 4x2 comes out.
I'm running 2 revoerdrives 3x2's in stripe atm. Works great but was a ***** to setup. Though down side is I need to leave computer logged out and on for garbage collection until trim support is enabled for native scsi
What is your whole setup like?

Very interesting stuff. Might give this a try.
SSD Does NOTHING to improve Loading Times for SWTOR

I wonder if connection speeds make a difference. If your net connect is better maybe that determines load times more than computer speed because of receiving info from the servers?
Would be curious to see computer specs with net speeds and to start looking at that in combination.
