:(Also, I am sorry for myself trying to look cool:(

Thank you so much! You just gave me probably the coolest thing I will have until Christmas! I am going to donate days to figuring this out!

I said right at the beginning, "I am not a tech wizard..." Quit trying to look cool

:(I have been doing some overclocking, and experiencing a lot of difficulty doing so. I am very new to overclocking, and I had to reset my computer to factory settings twice already just to get it to load Windows again:mad:. I just don't feel up to risking any more instability with my system by changing this one setting. If anyone has tinkered around in [AppData\Local\SWTOR\swtor\settings\client settings] and found that changing the "PerformanceLevelChanged" setting from false to true, or vice versa, increased game stability/performance could you please share your findings?

Somokon, I have a minimal assumption of what CUDA and STREAM are, my guess is that it they are a language GPUs use to communicate with CPUs in order to tell them that the GPU can use some of its power to process something that normally would have been processed by the CPU. (total guess)

TY for the elaboration PlasticCupMan. Believe it or not, I already had some of that stored away somewhere in my brain. And, I did... well, absolutely no research... lol

If anyone knowledgeable who reads this would be willing to tell me if changing the PerformanceLevelChanged setting in the local appdata client settings from false to true would benefit my performance, I would appreciate the help. Thank you.

I'm not saying that it needs to be pretty at all, I said that nowhere in this post. I just would like for the game to run at 20 or more frames per second on my computer. (paying for the game is my entire entertainment dollar, I do not have the money to buy a new computer.)

Well no agreement to the notion that the game should someday support CUDA and STREAM?

I only have one question, *Why did/do the SWTOR developers ignore others innovations?* The reasoning behind my question... I am not a tech wizard or a genius in any matter, but I believe that Call of Duty renders its graphics almost like a movie plays on a DVD or BD player (I think I could say it is something like, the computer says to the display, "*color(s)* *here*" and end of story, graphics rendered). Then the CPU is told "Invisible barrier here, AI there doing this, blah blah.." Now, if my assumption is correct, all of the rendering in SWTOR is done with textures. (I believe that this means a patch of data (versus the "*color* *here*" method of rendering) is loaded in order to display graphics.) So if your computer is loading hundreds, thousands, tens-of-thousands, and so on textures just to play the game, (I believe textures are small, copied over and over again in order to display something, for example, it might take 5,000 textures to load one wall, and a different texture loaded 2,000 times to display a different wall because it is a different color) that would take processing time away from your CPU, unless your graphics card benefits from cross GPU computing architecture, "CUDA" or "STREAM." (Assuming SWTOR benefited from this technology (which it clearly does not since we see low GPU utilization during FPS drops) Since textures take an obviously drastic toll on the CPU, as we have experienced through SWTOR, and it ignores a technology that can substantially increase computing speeds, the developers of SWTOR have shown an obvious lag in wrapping the game around and better options and beneficial technology. Lucasarts, Bioware, and EA have shown ignorance to the innovations of other companies. They have decided not to learn from the achievements and innovations of companies such as: Nvidia, ATI (AMD), Treyarch, Activision, and THQ (reference the performance increase from Supreme Commander to Supreme Commander 2), I am sure the list of examples could go on. *Why did/do the SWTOR developers ignore others innovations?* I am not hating this game, I in fact love this game. I just hope that someday I will have more fun playing it because it it will be more playable on my computer. I hope they can someday add CUDA/STREAM support to the game.
