Performance issues linked to BW's Engine or Customers "Low end Pcs"

Went to Ilum ONCE, was in a 20v20 fight....Had 55-60 fps constant....My rig is awesome...

Will I do it again...No.

PVP sucks full stop in SWTOR, and Most MMO's IMHO.

So as an answer to your OP.

I couldn't care less, the game runs fine for what I do.

Doubtful to say the least. Your rig is pretty average as well, I am sure. (a wild guess maybe, but in my experience their physical endowment is not the only thing men tend to severely overestimate)

even if you wanted to - you probably could not.

That's your opinion, all right. There is probably an explanation for how it was formed though (hint: in most cases there is indeed some sucking involved but it's usually not the pvp system itself)


and yet you not only read the thread but respond to it? I don't know about you but from a distance, yes it looks like you might actually care less

I swear, these forums never cease to amaze. I thought I had the principle behind general disinterest and indifference figured out but I learned a lot here, a lot!!

Well apparently you could care less : by not responding to thread at all. So your "I couldn't care less" is wrong.

Secondly "I got 60 fps" without any video showing it off, seriously ? I wish when I did QM research i could have offered that to my peer as evidence...

It's not about burden of proof, IMO. The issue is that SWTOR's performance problems are largely situational; if someone never goes to PvP or doesn't monitor his FPS in general, he might dismiss any perceived hitches as unimportant. What constitutes "good enough" performance is, after all, subjective.

There are currently a lot of people on the forums who post glowing (and unsolicited) testimonials about their rig's performance in various complaint threads, but in weeks of combing the forums for potential solutions I have literally never seen a video or even a screen shot showing high FPS in any of the game's notorious trouble spots.

So in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, I'm forced at this point to assume that those people are experiencing the same problem(s), but they either don't realize it or don't care. They obviously don't have to prove to me or to anyone else that they get great performance out of the game, but you'd think by this point that someone would have posted something by way of proof, if only in the spirit of furthering our understanding of the problem.

Just gonna say the difference between 30ish-35+ and 60 isn't much

What's crazy about using a quad-gpu setup that doesn't experience much of a slow down? And who cares if it's "eco-unfriendly"?

yes there are.

well i dont know about that, but i get the same framerates as that video on a single 580.

the funny thing is i have textbooks that get better FPS than ilum during peak times.
