AlValentyn Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) This is rather simple, Bioware and many people are claiming low performance in the game is due to people that have underperforming systems. Now many people claim their systems are within the Recommended specs or easily above it. As such, let us list our specifications and get some clarification on the matter. This also goes with the issue of High Resolutions Textures, which Bioware claim we are unable to run. While many have stated the Beta performed better with the high res textures than the game does now. Monitor resolution: 2560x1440 Processor: i7 2600K Graphics card: Nvidia GTX 470 RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz Main Storage: Momentus XT Hybrid HDD/SSD Graphical enhancements through Nvidia Inspector: X8 FXAA LOD -3 Bioware states that people might be CPU limited. Now that is extremely rare in modern games. Especially when you're gaming at high resolutions when the GPU always takes the brunt of the effort. Unless of course, if you're running Tri/Quad SLI or Xfire. In that case you need more CPU grunt to saturate the information being sent by the GPU setup. The game barely seems to utilise Quad core processors and many GPUs. Yet at times can barely manage 30FPS for some people. I admit though, that I do not have fps issues. Specially after turning off those ugly shadows. Edited January 30, 2012 by AlValentyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunsoar Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Signature. gaming at 1920x1080p. Heroengine is crap. They need another few years to optimize it. I still run the game at 60fps, or above 45fps in warzones. My main gripe besides the ugly game is the poor server networks. Latency jumps and 9000 errors suck.

CyberData Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Core i5 @ 2.73 Ghz Radeon HD 6870 8GB Ram Engine is unoptimized. This game is suppose to SCALE with a wide variety of rigs. Shouldn't take a beast to get consistent FPS. My FPS is rock solid 60 in Flashpoints, and when out questing. Turns to mashed potatoes when I'm in the fleet or heavy pvp.

Ive never had a latency problem in this game its probably your set up or has to do with where you are located. I am located on the edge of the west coast and i have a 100mbps connection pluged in through an ethernet cable (screw wifi) and i have never had a latency jump(well never say never, but its very rare) and my latency stays at a very steady 40 ms Edited January 31, 2012 by Samborino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodanth_The_Wise Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Resolution: 1920x1080 CPU: Intel I7 2600K overclocked at 4.1ghz. GPU: XFX HD5770 overclocked Harddrive: OCZ 120g SSD Ram: 16gb Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 Quad Channel Power Supply: Corsair 750w I know my video card is pretty crappy, but I really should be getting better frame-rate and loading times. I mean, it's not that bad but still..it could definitely be better. Due to my gpu, I'm pretty much forced to run on a combination or high/low settings. If I could adjust draw distance in the game(I know you can do it in the ini...but i'm too lazy to mess around with different settings) I could get a better frame-rate. Being able to change it from the graphics tab would be GREAT. Oh well. I suspect once I get my GTX 560 Ti I'll be fine with everything set to high and getting 60fps constant.

AKfourtyseven Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) One thing i can confirm as somebody who has recently changed rigs: this game runs like garbage on lower end spec machines that are within the minimum requirements. I had a quad core system running @3.2 each, 4GB RAM and a 9600GT. The fleet and Ilum would kill my machine. Now i have: 2700k@4.5 8GB 1600 RAM GTX 560 Ti 1GB x2 The difference in performance is night and day when it comes to the fleet and Ilum.

Ubung Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) Had Core 2 Quad Q9550 @ 3.4ghz Nvidia GTX 570 glh 4gb DDR2 And it ran really badly, got around 30 ish fps in a lot of places and it wasnt smooth at all. Max settings, 1920 x 1080, forced AA 4x. Switching off forced aa made it worse. Now I7 2700k @ 4.4ghz Nvidia GTX 570 glh 8gb DDR3 1866mhz And now its locked 60 fps everywhere with Vsync on (not tried a warzone yet). Max settings, 1920 x 1080, in game AA on. (Forcing higher AA at the moment causes effects to dissapear for me). Edited January 31, 2012 by Ubung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All operating temps are normal, there's never a heat issue. All of the latest drivers including the AMD drivers released last week, which btw neither increased nor decreased performance. All performace indicators on the Windows 7 Experience Index are: Processor 7.3 Memory (Ram) 7.5 Graphics: 7.7 Gaming Graphics: 7.7 Primary Hard Disk 5.9 7.9 Being the highest rating available. With V-Sync turned off, I get 110+FPS almost everywhere except for the fleet during peak times. During peak times drops off to 45-60ish, even at low pop times on the fleet the game is still very choppy. When someone else comes into my view, such as someone riding towards me on the fleet on a speeder, it's like the game takes a few seconds to load them or someting, and while loading them it slows my system down. I don't know..... On Ilum, as soon as I get there I go from over 100FPS to around 60. As soon as the fighting starts at the central location I drop down to under 10 and the game becomes virtually unplayable until people start getting killed and leaving the area. During WZ's it runs good until the fighting starts in a big group. When that happens I just start mashing my buttons and targeting whoever has the lowest health. You can't focus someone when there's a lot of people around fighting because it's almost impossible to defend yourself. By the time you figure out who's attacking you, you're dead because of the lag. PVP takes no skill in this game, it's purely situational and luck of the draw. it's just too damn laggy. It sucks. I just don't understand how I can do 25 man raids on WoW with graphics maxed and have no problems, or play Crysis, BF3 or Need For Speed on high with the same results as WoW. It's a mystery to me!
