It is definatly a relief to know others are experiencing the same issues as I am. Below are the specs of my Laptop and Desktop. During launch I was playing on my workstation class laptop just fine: Laptop (50-60 FPS in cities/PVE, 20-30 FPS PVP) HP Elitebook 8730w Intel Extreme Core 2 duo (4 Cores) Nvidia Quadro FX 2700 8GB ram 120GB SSD I did notice some lag but nothing major. Desktop (60 FPS in cities/PVE, and 20-30 FPS PVP) Intel Xeon (6 Core) 3.46 24GB ram Nvidia 560Ti GTX 2x 120 SSD (OS and SWTOR) 2x Raptors 300GB (Data) I noticed after the last patch a significant drop in performance especially in the Warzones. Now I am forced to play on all settings set to low and 1024x768 resolution so I can actually enjoy the Warzones (30-40FPS). Until today I was shopping around to see if I should go with a SLI setup but figured I would do a little research to see if anybody else is having this issue. Running quests and going to cities isn't so much of a problem, its the Warzones where I get frustrated. keep in mind the things I've tried: Fresh insteall (Windows 7 Ultimate) Clean (approved) drivers "Video, Mobo, DX, and Windows update" Fresh installation of SWTOR Ran a deticated PSU (1000w) to my graphics card (My desktop has a 750w PSU) Also I have tried various options to change and tweak my video settings nothing worked, I do like to play with VSYNC on because I dislike screen tearing. also note there are no heat issues anywhere Still the same outcome. At this point, I am not going to invest any more money into my system especially now that I have read that multiple people are having the same issues with simular setups. I hope my information helps somebody else out there, at this point I am lead to believe that SWTOR is underdeveloped in the FPS sense and its beyond our control at this point. also keep in mind my setups have run this game smoothly even in warzones before patch 1.0.1 *12/27/2011* after that things went downhill. Sorry for the wall of text =P
