I think I know what's causing poor FPS for some users (no fix yet)

50-60 in any. maybe more in huttball.cpu is overheating like a ***** only when i have AA on(utilization is around 40-60% with or without AA but im running xsplit almost always so i would say game is using around 20-30%) dunno about gpu since after i reinstalled win i forgot to install monitoring programs.
you can also try renaming assets to test it out. i did that first to check if ill get any improvements and it worked.(but huttballs is really hard to play like that since you lose fire ,ball and similar effects,even stealth)

edit:didnt have the time to test ilum yet and probably wont till march-april since my sub is running out today and ill wait for a major patch

Well about 3-4 patches ago you guys seemed to fix the issue and my fps was good. After this patch its like a slideshow again. Nothing has changed with my system so I am not sure whats going on.

Its not a complete failure since I needed to buy the hardware anyway for my next rig and I did reinstall Windows so I'm probably missing some runtimes and tweaks. After reading all the posts from people who beat me to the SSD upgrade, my expectations really weren't that high, but the fact I lost fps is incredibly disappointing. I'm just gonna fck the gf and go to sleep. TOR has worn me out.

Well played BW. I concede.
Grats on the SSD but man, that sucks.

Same for me I guess. At least I have a blazing-fast RAID 0 for apps :P

As long as you're talking about the game client itself, this is a possibility. With what I've just seen this could be a problem source.

If you meant ISP though, no way. My connection is many megabits up and down.

I did this and while it did help some, I'm still barely pulling 10fps in Alderaan, 20 in Huttball, and at most 10 (if I'm lucky) in Ilum. Voidstar seems to be perfectly fine. Turning all settings down in-game and in the nVidia Control Panel does nothing.

Intel Core 2 Quad 2.66GHz
8GB DDR3 RAM
2x nVidia GTX260 in SLI

I'm going to be upgrading my CPU and Mobo soon (not because of swtor, I've been planning to for quite some time), so I'll see if that helps.
