tummiswtor Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Hello there. my spec 6300 FX, 7850 2gb, 4gb of ram, win 7 64 bit. It is worth to install win 10? I have heard that some of games with win 10 runs better and +/- 5fps How about SWTOR? Some people says it runs better no fps spikes from 110 fps to 40 etc., some not. Today i have heard that one girl cant travel to Tatooine, becouse its catch bugs. What's Your opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyuuu Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Swtor on windows 10 runs the same as it ran on window 7 for me, as for fps spikes? every get fps spikes the game engine is just terrible, even on system that should have no issue with FPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDutchman Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I've been on windows 10 since shortly after it launched and it works flawlessly. Others however seem to be having some trouble. If you are the kind of person who is technically capable of doing things like driver installs, you should be fine. Considering you know what is inside your computer, I'm guessing this is a non-issue. If things go wrong, I'm pretty sure you can roll back to win 7 within the first month of using windows 10 (at which point it deletes the old files to free up space). Windows 10 generally takes a little less RAM than win 7, which should be helpful for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyuuu Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) all my games run like they did in window 7, I have also since upgrading to win 10 reinstall windows 10 with clean install. Edited March 27, 2016 by Kyuuu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsillah Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 You may not be an English speaker so I'd suggest saying "Windows 10 vs Windows 7" rather, since SWTOR is not an OS...but oh well, you decide if that matters to you. Anyways, your biggest bottleneck is your RAM I'd say. With 4GB you don't have a lot and BW games are notorious for eating up RAM. Clearly the rest of the specs are fine. Windows 10 has been running fine for me but I will say that it had some issues at the start. At some point though everything will be optimized based on Windows 10 like graphics drivers etc. Not saying W7 is dead but at some point it seems better to upgrade than to stay behind if you will. Not saying that has to be today but ultimately if it runs fine for you on W7 you don't need to upgrade at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlavivsAetivs Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 The only issue with Windows 10 is that it does mass updates to all your drivers whether you like it or not unless you can figure out how to disable it, which can cause compatability issues. E.g. On my Surface I have to keep rolling back to the September 2015 version of the drivers cause the current most recent GFX drivers aren't compatible with SWTOR and still haven't been fixed for a bunch of other games. ~ Eudoxia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newyankalt Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) Windows 10 works pretty fine for me with SWTOR however it seems Windows 10/ Nividia doesn't work too well together, lots of bugs and possible crashes.

NakodaTheJedi Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 i have windows 10 and it works fine but if your computer didn't come with windows 10 don't switch over to it because it probably won't be able to handle it like a computer that starts out with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATAMIANM Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Well I was pleasantly surprised with the upgrade from Windows 7. I have an old machine, a Mac Pro from 2008 that I upgraded the processors and video card on. I was normally getting around 30 fps tops in SWTOR, less on the fleet. Last night after upgrade to Windoes 10, I was getting around 5o fps. I hope this lasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JediQuaker Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) SWTOR works fine for me on Windows 10. I can't say how it compares to Win 7 because I also upgraded my system shortly after getting Windows 10. That is, it does seem smoother and better fps, but that would be because of the better CPU. Was - i5-3570K (stock clock), 8 Gigs DDR3, R9 390, Win 7, mATX Is now - i5-6600 (non K), 16Gigs DDR4, R9 390, Win 10. mini-ITX I don't play many other games these days. Snood runs fine. TFC (an old Half-Life CTF mod) seems to be very jerky and harder to play than before, but that's not much of a problem. BTW - a caution. The reason why I'm running Windows 10 is that, a couple of weeks ago, just before I did the upgrade, one of those "Upgrade to Windows 10" prompts popped up while I was playing SWTOR. Instead of making a choice to not upgrade, I simply closed the prompt. I guess Windows decided that that was a "yes", because about 5 minutes later SWTOR, my browser, and everything else closed down and the computer started to install Windows 10. (I was not a happy camper at that point. ) Luckily, since I had a retail version of Win7, my license transferred over to the new system.... and, I like Windows 10.
