Hey, I have also posted this in the german forum but I will try it again here so:
Whenever I play swtor my cpu is nearly always used 100%. To be fair it is a quiet outdated one, AMD-A10-6700, I am running it with a GTX1050TI and 12GB of ram. In the fleet I often have 30FPS+ sometimes 80 or higher, when playing with shadows and decent graphics on my normal resolution(1920x1080). Sometimes my FPS drop to 20 or even lower, when there are many people around moving. But in warzones or in operations, my game is often laggy as hell. In bossfights I tend to have 20-30 FPS. And because I want to get into NIM raiding, this isn't good.
I have tried multiple things. Lowering the graphics, disabling the shadows, lowering the resolution to 1280x720 (the game looks like minecraft then lol), but all these things didn't gave me a huge fps boost. I get like 10Frames more on the fleet, on average. I also unparked all my cpu cores, installed DX9, edited the NVDIA 3D Settings etc. etc. etc... All without sucess. The A-10-6700 doesn't have much single-core-power and also isn't really made for gaming, however this game is 7 years old so I thought it should be fine. Do I have to update my pc, or do you have any other suggestions that could help me?
