Important 1.1 graphics test

Ok since I do not speak fluent techie, just a broken form of it. For win7 Users you can simply open your run window type %appdata% in the box and then click the drop down that says appdata. There will be the local option click there click swtor/swtor/settings and your two files should be in there. I find this easier then following a thread from c files not sure if works for other versions of windows.

That being said, here is where my language falls apart as I don't completely understand all things graphical. I have pulled them to my desktop, they are replaced and I see some differences in the files after I log to char screen and change settings and log back out. Do I trash the two old files that were replaced? Also they went back to the same folder I thought someone mentioned the files going where they belonged as if they weren't supposed to be in that folder.

And regarding fps that is too high burning out a vid card. Mine spikes before this test to 110 fps on my ship and in some open areas and down to 8 or 9 on imp fleet/Warzones. The last few days since patch I get black flickering screens, so I started watching the temp on my card. Temp was getting to 58c-64c with fan periodically going to 60% usage. So I manually over rode fan to set it at 90% and brought temp down to 50c to 54c. No change due to lower temp, is this a problem in game or with card? And will the high spikes to 110 in FPS put my card at risk? Just bought the card is Raedon 6700.

Great post btw as I can see it has helped a lot of people with their fps hopefully mine will be more stable and higher in warzones/impfleet, and other places where I drop to 15.

And to all of you unhappy people that constantly rant without reason.
Unsub and find a game you like instead of trolling the boards. I see a lot of complainers even on this helpful post. I had my issues brought my points to the forums, think Bioware can do a better job of addressing the issues, but the dev blog is addressing a lot of said issues on a regular basis within the first month. So give em time to get things fixed Rome wasn't built in a day or so they say!

I'm just curious, did the OP and others that this worked for modify these two files prior to patch? I know a bunch of people were messing with them to get better FPS. So I'm just wondering if that's why it's working for some and not others.

I'm curious for those that this doesnt work for, were you guys in the Beta, either regular/closed or open/weekend?
I noticed in the AppData folder on my laptop that I Beta tested on it still had a Beta Folder. I didnt open it up to look, but I think it will have some effect if there are .ini files in it.
