My specs are:
MSI GTX560i(just upgraded from Radeon HD 5800).
Q6600 2.4
8GB DDR2 Ram

I'll be upgrading my computer further next month - swapping out my Asus P5K Premium/WIFI-AP, P35, DDR2 motherboard with the ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN3, Socket-1155.
In addition I'll get the Intel® Core i5-2500K Processor and a SSD hardrive for Windows 7 & Swtor only.

If that doesn't fix the issue, I probably will stop subscribing. I just wish the devs would address this issue, as it is quite troublesome for many of us.
I have the system you're going to get except I have GTX 570 and the i5 2500k is overclocked to 4.7 ghz. Although the framerate is a bit better than yours.. 25-40 in warzones mid battle, it still 'feels' like 10-20 fps.

I cancelled my sub after two WZ battles, The engine is obviously poorly coded/optimised when more than a couple of players are on the screen.

A system like mine should not be micro stuttering and feeling really choppy. How the hell are low end systems coping lmao.

Oh, that's not good to hear. Are you using DDR2 Ram as well? A friend of mine has the system I'm upgrading to/you have but with an older graphics card and 6GB DDR3 - and he's running at 50-70 FPS in Alderaan Civil War(which is the worst zone for me) mid combat.

I'm never higher than 20-25 FPS in warzones outside of combat - everything chops and it feels like I'm playing on a 5-year old laptop.

I'll give Bioware some time to address it, but if it lasts too long I'm not sure I'll be able to force myself to play through the lag anymore.

Did you even read our posts? What specs do you run the game with? We ARE upgrading our computers to play.

It's brand new with 8gb DDR3, The strange thing is the first few battles will be around 50-70 then slowly as the battle wages on the framerate dips up and down like a yo-yo, after a few minutes it gets down to around 20-25 fps during heavy action

Out in the open world my fps sits at around 110fps which feels great, but the second a few people come along it will drop to 60 fps fast. The drop is very noticeable. The fleet is a nightmare, around 15-30 fps when flying around with 250 people there. With lots of stutters.

Before people tell me my system is borked, it runs Crysis, skyrim and every other heavy resource game at 60-90 fps maxed out and smooth as butter.

Even weirder, the framerate in ToR is exactly the same on all low settings as it is on high.
This screams shoddy optimisation. I think bioware are underestimating how many people will leave because of this.

I run fine out in the world 45 fps and even on the fleet with 100s of people there (30-35 fps) the minute i go into a wz drop to 10-15 fps and its like my latency shoots up. Really weird because during the beta weekend i tried pvp and my preformace was great.
