Had a thought about what people might be seeing as its common in a lot of other games, especially in an MMO like Aion and others. Just for giggles I went ahead and took a look at what my video memory usage was and was suprised by what I found. Sitting in Republic fleet; peak = 989MB on highest settings, lowest was = 667MB. This is without anti-aliasing applied in game which would further add to this total. Pic as proof: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/12/frambuf.jpg/ Also another non affiliated website for more info about what I'm talking about. Source: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/47608-effect-gpu-memory-surround-stereo-3d-performance-3.html Basically it would appear that most if not all people who are using a 1GB card at high resolutions like mine (1900 x 1200) on high settings are going to hit the frame buffer and start to take massive performance penalties as the video card is having to constantly dump its cache. Having a mediocre card with this is probably enough to cause the issues people are seeing I would think. So perhaps the people who are having issues are folks who are using high settings, high resolution and a card with insufficient video memory to back it up?

SWTOR Running Amazingly on YOUR Machine ? Please Post Specs !
Sentential replied to TheSpoils's topic in General Discussion
CPU: i5 2500K @ 4.5ghz Memory: 16GB DDR3 1600 Video Card: GTX470 (2x in SLi) HDD: Intel 320 (120gb x 2 raid0) No frame rate issues whatsoever; I did need to change my SLI profile to AFR2 in order to benefit from SLI but I have yet to dip below 60FPS with settings maxed out. -
Its in the nVidia control panel; you change the SLI rendering mode from "nvidia reccomended" to "force alternate frame rendering 2"
-
I'm sure this is redundant and somone has already brought this up but current nVidia reccomendation uses split frame rendering or some other inefficient method resulting in stuttering/poor FPS. Performance is grealy improved if it is forced to AFR2 mode from the driver pane; overall GPU usage is lower and full scaling SLI appears to be back in action. Just passing this along to those who care.

Looking for group single-handidly destoryed 2 different MMO communities (looking at WoW and Rift) LFG would be the worst thing that could happen to this game.

What would be a good graphics card?
Sentential replied to darthragnaro's topic in General Discussion
Honestly speaking if you're on the market for a graphics card I would wait for Kepler (GK104 specifically) but if not the 560/460 is a good choice -
Low FPS in High End System.....Patch comin?
Sentential replied to Ritsi's topic in General Discussion
i5 2500K @ 4.5ghz 16GB DDR3 GTX 470 SLI ^^ High end system running at 1900 x 1200 no FPS issues whatsoever, have yet to see below vsync @ 60FPS. Nothing to see here, move along. FYI: AMD FX series blows and is the source of your issue. AMD chips do poorly in MMO enviroments; if you dont believe me go look at the comparisons between the i7s vs Phenom in WoW and you'll see for yourself. -

Queue times - stop new creation of characters?
Sentential replied to Nordsmark's topic in General Discussion
Hey quit whining; this isnt launch its a gift from bioware that you got to play when you did. Deal with it -
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Please cry more; this is such sweet just desserts for the people who yapped about people freaking out about not getting early game access. I hope your server crashes and I hope you get a small taste of what we've been dealing with the last 4 days. Get owned son
-
waaaaaa waaaaa I got in early and now I want to complain about queues when people still have yet to log in for the first time.
-
F People talk about how awesome the launch is because they're playing while the rest of us ******s are in the servants quarters waiting whatever scraps bioware sends our way. What's going to be hillarious is the *****torm that will happen on the 20th. That im gonna get some popcorn for
-
If the game doesnt go down in flames then yes it'll be worth having.
-
F Terrible communication; I dont think they realize that people left WoW because Bliz got lazy and smug with their customers. I'm seeing the same from bioware and have since cancelled my pre-order. If I dont get in tommorow I wont be re-ordering on 12/20
-
Thanks for the list; saved to notepad

Harry Potter, Helm's Deep, and Early Game Access
Sentential replied to CBGB's topic in General Discussion
No offense; well intended OP but these guys are "supposed" to be the big shots and yet they look totally incompitent here. The fact you feel it neccessary to show them how to do their job makes me have zero confidence in this game EA did this same kind of nonsense with warhammer and I can see the fail train steaming right along in the same way -
