Will this setup run SWTOR on Ultra?

Implying you speak for everyone else? 99% people dont even check their fps so they probably just play without realising how bad this game is coded.

Reading comprehension is a good thing to improve. I don't use the word "everyone" or made up percentages, you do. Many are having framerate problems, many are not. Which group is biggest is something neither of us are able to find out.

OP is one of two things

1) Ridiculously wealthy, and doesn't work very hard for money.
2) Pretending to be buying a ridic nice computer for internet points. (System spec looks like something someone would put together newegg as a dream computer)

MOBO: That is a nice MOBO with 4 PCI(16) slots, supports both SLI/Crossfirex, but is a standard size (make sure your case is not set for micro boards only) = 269

CPU: Strong and fast with good core speeds. The 6x core is a great CPU (at least the AMD Phe II are) = $599

RAM: Gskill is a good brand but 16gigs is high and overkill. = $89

GPU: the GTX 580 is a crazy GPU and is a waste of money. It performs only a fraction better than the GTX 560ti and is twice as much. = $509

so far you have spent $1466 and you havent even stated what type of case, cooling system, fan support and software you will have.

I do not know if you are upgrading an existing Rig or building/having one built from scratch. But you can add $199 for Win 7 prem 64 bit version or $99 for Win 7 prem OEM version.

Your tower with that MOBO, CPU and GPU will need to have atleast a 750 (80+) PSU and will need to support a standard board format. The case will need to offer a good air flow because from what I have read about the Gig 580, it gets how and MOBO temps will skyrocket if you do not support it with atleast 2 120mm fans around teh GPU area.

Honestly, if your desire is to play this game with no issues on both max in game settings as well as card control settings, then you are spending way to much. When it is all said and done, you will have spend close to $2k on a system that will be outdated in a year. The new NVIDIA GPUs will be out in a few months and the INTEL chip, well, its great but its $$$$ and is only a bit better than a AMD hex corer version.


either way, good luck!

No. Nothing can run Swtor on so called "Ultra" there is only 2 settings which are Low or High. High textures look worse than n64 games.

When using the saying "unlucky bunch" is implying people who have fps issues are in the minority. Take your own advice. I can tell you the game is badly coded you cannot prove me wrong. Which is most likely true a) that game runs superb for everyone or b) the game is coded badly that most people get bad fps and that most people dont check fps because they are casuals? Have you noticed most of the people whom are complaining about fps issues have top rigs and understand fps unlike most casuals. Please I like to see your "counter argument".

Firstly, the CPU in question is dramatically faster than anything AMD produces, in a game like this the phenom x6 would be no faster than a phenom x4 due to the poor thread optimisation in this game. Considering the S2011 cpu's are a good 20% faster than S1155 cpu's (think i5 2500k) you can expect anywhere from 40-60% better performance from the 3930k than a Phenom X6. That's not biased, or opinion that is fact, and I suggest you do further research on these cpu's.

You certainly pay a price for the 580 though and if I was spending that sort of money and I needed a GPU right now I'd be looking at a 7970 from AMD.
