How is the overall server population of the game? They all list standard population in the server list. Will I be waiting hours to do one group mission every time?

How is the server populations? What is the best (most populated) server for groups and guilds in the US (eastern preferably)?

You are comparing critical business services to gaming services. One is for business, the other is for entertainment. You cannot really compare the two. If you cannot live without a game a couple of hours a week, there are problems. However, businesses cannot live without their emails a couple of hours a week (for example). They are completely separate. A video game of this scale is also MUCH MUCH MUCH more complex than standard programs and services.

I have a Level 50 Jedi on a PVP server that I never log into anymore. All of my other characters at on a PVE server. Since you cannot do cross server transfers (PVP to PVE), I will need to make a new Jedi on the PVE server. What do you guys recommend as the quickest way to level? I do not care about the planetary quests since I have done those already. I would still do my class story again since I actually enjoyed the Jedi story. I have tried the XP boost in the cartel market, but that only makes things slightly faster.

I have been playing since day one and have never had any game breaking bugs. Sure, I have had bugs, but no game breaking ones. In WoW, two years ago, there was a pond in one of the areas. When I went in the pond, there was like a bubble of some sort. If ANY character jumped in it, you would be logged out. When you logged back in, you would be in that bubble again and be logged out. I was unable to play for hours because of this. Even at two years ago, WoW was around A LONG TIME and it still had a game breaking bug for me. Bugs happen.

Well I decided to return the card to Newegg and get a GTX 680 instead. Cross your fingers that the 680 has no issues!

Well I ran the EVGA Stress Test (OC Scanner X). It did not find any issues stress testing and benchmarking the card. Could this be a Windows 8 issue, does anybody here have the GTX 6xx cards and Windows 8 installed?

What is a good benchmark?

Yes I have 1,000 Watt PSU. I ran some more demanding games as tests like Crysis and Dead Island. Those games do this too. I deleted all drivers and installed new ones several times. Do you have any advice as to what is wrong?

Yes. I downloaded the NVIDIA drivers from their website. 306.97 - it reports GTX 670. I just installed Borderlands 2 and it does the same thing even during the opening video.

Yeah I deleted all ATI drivers and files. Do you know what would cause it to make my computer so slow, it needed a restart in order to fix it? Task manager said nothing was running. It was so slow, I would press the windows key and it would take 15 seconds before the start menu appeared. I would click on shut down, and it took 20 seconds for the click to register.

Sorry. Does this game create card specific settings? I remember people mentioning deleting a config file for graphics changes. Would that cause an issue going from ATI to NVIDIA?

So I upgraded my graphics card from an ATI Radeon HD 5870 to a EVGA NVIDIA GTX 670 FTW card. I have tested many games and they all seem to work fine, except SWTOR. Whenever I want to create a new character, I get about 2 seconds, then my screen keeps flickering. My system becomes so slow even after closing SWTOR. I need to reboot to fix it. I thought this was an issue with the character creation screen, but when I logged in with an existing character, the same thing happened when I walked out of the building. Can anybody successfully play this on a GTX 670? I am currently redownloading the game, do you think that will help?

I think people need to realize MMOs are different. I can max Skyrim, but I still get around 40fps in WoW in Orgrimmar when it is busy. Why is that? Intel Xeon 6-core W3680 3.45Ghz 8GB of Ram ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB I have not done 40x40, that seems a little excessive. But I never drop below 40FPs on this game.

I guess, for people like me, this game makes sense. I was never a fan of grouping in WoW. I only did that with a friend. I did do quite a bit of Dungeons though, but everybody there was just way too serious. For a person that prefers story, I enjoy it.
