Will this setup run SWTOR on Ultra?

when did I even compare the intel vs AMD cpus, i know the 3930 will destroy any of the phe II. It should because the phe II are a 2 year old Tech and the 3930 is Intels new baby.

I disagree on the 580..

the EVGA 560ti has what, 830ish+ core clock with around 1700 shader. The gig 580 sits with aroudn 795 core clock and 1590 shader clock (unless you get a OC/SC version). There is no way the 580 is 20% faster than the 560ti. I agree its better with 100+ more cores, but not 20% better.

I'm a big believer in supplying proof, so I'm happy to do so.

Here you go...

Note* couldn't pick the 3930k, so had to go with it's big brother 3960k and I know thats faster, but it's the same architecture and performance isn't that much different.

Results really speak for themselves.

Here ya go..

Seriously it's over 20%... I was being quiet reserved in my estimations.

"bunch" is just another word for "group", I think you are mistaking it with "unlucky few" which I did not write because the group seems too big to call it a "few". Is the engine badly coded? I do believe it is, I believe it still needs a whole lot of work to make it run perfectly for almost everyone that has a system above the requirements. I have no framerate problems, but with AA enabled my GPU gets much hotter than it should and I encountered some other graphical issues. Just my fps is not a problem.

Now for your a vs b argument: No game runs superb for everyone, that is impossible so option a will never happen. With option b you claim that everyone that claims they have the game running smoothly are casuals that have never used the ctrl+shift+f combo to check how their framerate is. A rather silly remark to be honest. Just because a bunch of people (again I am not saying how big or small that group is) are having low framerates does not mean everyone has those problems. And then your last remark again claiming that only the uninformed are not having problems because they have no idea what framerates are.

Please just stop trolling. The framerate issues are real and they need to be fixed, but the way you are talking about it is just complete and total nonsense.

*sighs*

Ah heck, I've gotten myself lured into the troll trap. You won simply because you got me to react.

*Breaks open the trap and walks away.*

You can probably save yourself about $1000 on that system and still run SWTOR on max by going for i5 2500K with a GTX560. You'd also be able to run BF3 with that on ultra @ 40FPS minimal.

That $1000 saved you can stick into another up-to-date system 2-3 years down the road.

I don't understand why you would go for the most expensive, newest stuff that will set you back twice as much. Then again - if I would have the money to burn, I'd probably do the same.

Personally I'd save myself $700+ or so by going with a GTX 560ti and waiting for the cheaper socket 2011 i7 coming out in February. It's basically a 4 core instead of the 6 core versions out now, but still would allow use of the very nice looking 2011 socket based motherboards.

Then I'd dump a bit of the saved cash on a decent 256GB SSD

I would advise everyone to read this link. It's by the BioWare team

It basically says nothing is their problem the game is perfect and working as intended. Your $2,000 pc is problem.

Lol can Bioware become even more of a joke.

you will be running most of the game at high fps but without antialiasing.

I have the same video card and installed this today to drop the temp cause i run dual monitors and it was getting to hot playing this game

I have the i7 990x and that is running great with 12GB of ram, on intel's extreme board and have all of the setting on "ultra" and play the game fine with no problems, never drop fps to where it flickers or anything, I am sure you will be fine

it's true, i do =D i5 second gen, 3.2


560ti actually has higher clock speeds that that other graphics card....http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...125&CatId=3669

that's what i use, during pvp on max setting my fps is 60+
