I just wanna learn when did u guys installed game client. I mean I downloaded the client during beta test weekend and I'm having serious fps issues and I'm wondering could it be related to downloading the client before beta weekend? Maybe Bioware changed something on the client after the release, if so I'll going to uninstall the game and download it again. I'm having serious problem especially when I go to warzones(fps like 10) and my computer is not so bad

 

i7 q720 1.6 ghz

nvidia gts250m 1 gig

6 gig ram

Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit

 

All drivers are updated

It looks like you need a better video card.

yes I know I need a better video card but 10 fps is too low even for this graphic card I think. I really don't know what to do I really want to play this game but this problem is prevents me to have fun. Then I'll uninstall the game and download it again If it works I'll write down.

Appears you need a much better CPU.

Min requirements says 2.0GHz or higher.

 

 

 

I can play with a 2.2GHz Duo Core, but I can run into issues occasionally.

Trust me, a better video card makes all the difference. I started playing SWTOR on a GeForce GTX 520 card and was hitting *single-digit* FPS numbers at times on the lowest graphics settings. My CPU incidentally is an Intel Core 2 Duo 3Ghz with 4 gigs of DDR2 RAM. I upgraded to a GeForce GTX 550 Ti and saw the FPS shoot up into the 70+ range on *high* settings. The card cost me about $150.

I have a five year old custom build. Windows 7 64 bit, Intel Dual Core 2.6 gig, 4 gig RAM, and a recent addition of a GTX 550 TI 1 gig card. The only time I have problems is in warzones. The rest of time I run with everything set to High and no problems.

I have the following :-

 

Core 2 Quad Q6700 @ 2.6ghz

4GB DDR2

Nvidia EVGA GTX570HD 2560mb

Windows 7 64bit

 

Running with most settings on high and the only time i see an FPS drop is when i end up on the Huttball Warzone where it drops to 20FPS , then slowly goes back up to about 40fps. Normal FPS while running around and questing etc is 100+.

 

My CPU doesn't hit more than 47% load , but my DDR gets to around 82%.

Any issues I had were resolved when I did the following:

 

Set affinity for SWTOR to make sure it was using all my processor cores.

 

Set priority to "HIGH"

 

Went to Invidia website to make sure I had updated drivers. Do not trust your computer

to do it for you. Mine told me my drivers were updated when they were really two years old.

 

Turned AA on in my GPU settings. It doesn't make sense but this actually improves performance.

 

Turned v-sync off.

 

I have a pretty old system . I have graphics maxed. The only time I have issues is in fleet

on my speeder, with 150 other people around.

 

Other places I run 40+ FPS. Warzone isuues have GREATLY improved.

 

Hope this helps : )

 

 

Core 2 Duo Quad Core Q6600 2.4 ghz

Invidia 460gtx

4 gigs of old *** RAM

I have a laptop and as far as I know it's nearly impossible to change the laptops video card:( I already closed shadows but my main problem is warzones, especially huttball and alderaan.

Grr I'm really unlucky I guess I have to play the game like this forever

Gaming on a laptop, there's your problem.

Another thing to try (if you haven't yet) is to change your settings to something OTHER than low, apply them, and then switch them back to low. I don't know if it's been patched yet, but there was an issue where the game would show "low" for all settings initially, even though they may have been set to "high" in reality.

Ugh, laptops are notoriously incapable of being upgraded. Unless you can find a savvy enough technician to do it, you may have to look into getting a better laptop. I myself am looking into getting a more powerful and current PC and have looked at laptops. One that I looked at is the Asus G74SX-RH71, as it has an Intel Core i7-2670QM (2.2Ghz) CPU, *12 gigs* of DDR3 RAM, and a GeForce GTX 560M card (3Gb memory). It is pricey (~$1500.00), though.

Actually yes but I have no other choice, I'm student and staying on a dormitory so I can't bring my desktop from home and I have to play with this laptop:(

Try to convince your friends/family to give you that laptop I mentioned as a gift, perhaps? Tell them that you need it for school. :)
