| Post subject: | Upgrade suggestion for SWTOR |
So i'm getting between 25-50 FPS with everything on low. I'm still low level areas and i could just imagine PVP zones and whatnot, my machine is going to be hurting. Currently have a AMD Phenom 9850 Quadcore 2.50 GHz with 6GB of RAM and 2 GTX 260's in SLI. What do you guys suggest i upgrade? I know the CPU is kinda bad these days but I'm not sure if a CPU upgrade will really help as much as a GPU upgrade? Maybe throw some more RAM at it too? I should also mention i'm running a TH2G @ 5040x1050 @ 59hz. Thanks! |

Is there a reason your running th2go rather than nv surround ? |

Your issue sounds a little suspect to me. I'm running TOR on the 295 GTX with a Matrox TH2G (also at 5040x1050) but haven't had any issues beyond turning AA off and everything else up at max. Turning shadows to low was an additional change I made later for a little more FPS gain, but... it should run fine. The only difference I really see is that you're running SLI and my CPU is a bit more beefy than your own (3.3 GHz). Make sure your drivers are up to date, both on your Matrox firmware, PowerDesk, and nVidia drivers- see if that helps at all. You may be surprised. Also, are you running it windowed, windowed fullscreen, or plain fullscreen? |

Download FRAPS, make a benchmark run, OC the CPU and make another benchmark run. I think your CPU clock is holding you back much. Check the Phantom scaling on Toms hardware, especially the minimums: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/star-wars-gaming-tests-review,3087-8.html |
