Upgraded my CPU and am very pleased

Welp I have done ALL the configurations that are supposed to help with the performance.

Nothing has made a DENT in the Frame rate or performance.
At ilum I can FORGET about PVPing with ANY sort of worth.
I am going anywhere from the 20's to mid 30's on fps and this is without a battle even in progress. (At the time of all my testing nobody was even logged on to fight it was so late.)

My FPS at the imperial fleet were 40's-70's at best with an empty fleet late at about 3AM.

I am VERY both confused and pissed off given I have a GTX 560 with 2GB Ram.
I know its not the ti but it should not be performing less than HALF as good as some people are saying their's are on this thread.

Here is my setup:
HPE-112y HP computer
AMD Phenom II x 4 925 at 2.8Ghz
8 GB DDR3 SDRAM

I have been considering a new computer as I said before so I might just pick now to do it.
I know jack though about building a gaming PC.

I cannot believe this incorrect information is still around.

It's not going away. You can't kill an idea, not even a bad one.

Yeah but whatever goober first started this rumor over a decade ago was proven wrong QUICKLY by a flood of website rebuttals.

There was even a programmer that made a simple program that showed two rotating cubes on your screen. You could set the framerate of their rotation individually and see that you could notice the different even after 100 fps.

Anyone who is planning to upgrade their CPU should wait till summer as then intel is supposed to release new CPU:s, so old i5 and i7 should have huge price drops.

AMD HD 7950 3GB Video,
AMD HD 7970 3GB Video,
NVIDIA GTX560Ti 2GB, or
NVIDIA GTX570 1.2G?

Which one and why?
Rank em if ya want.

I'm looking at prebuilt Gaming PC's on http://www.cyberpowerpc.com ...
and the PC's I am looking at all are VERY close in price but with these differences in video cards.
(They also have other component differences of the PC's of course).

No clue if I am going to buy from this place or not.
I may end up going to a local shop and having a local shop build me one.

But...
Need to know if this website's prices are good in comparison to other pre built systems.
I also need to know if these systems (the ones in that price range)..will run this game as smooth as you really possibly can.

My price range is about 1.3-1.7k

The new hobbit movie won't be.

Here's a site that shows the difference between 15-30-60 fps. Although some of the people here are right in saying that humans can notice a difference when going from 30 to 60 that difference is minimal at best, especially in this type of game.

I was told by a tech customer support on the phone that my system was very capable of running this game

q6600@ 2.4gh

4 gig ddr2

geforce 460 1gb memory.

I have over the weeks gone through various issues from lag crash to desktop ,currently addressing screen freeze/lock and severely fluctuating fps on fleet anything from 70fps down to 5 then back up.

I asked Daniel,Matt and others if there is anything hardware wise I could do to resolve this and was told no.

I was told the developers are fully aware of the issues and that they will be releasing patches to address them in the near future ,but are currently working very hard to identify and resolve the issues and will get the patches out as soon as they are ready .

I am more than willing to upgrade hardware but they assure me that my current system should have no issues .

To be most helpful record a msinfo as soon as you can after an issue and e-mail it to them with a outline of what happened leading to this.

Best way is to press "windows button" and "r" together in the run screen that pops type msinfo32 go to file /export then save to desktop and attach to e-mail.

But dont spend money buying random pc bits when it's likely your current machine may run just fine when they eventually track down the culprits that cause the problems.

That's true, one thing to consider though is that 60FPS whilst standing still or moving in one direction will never equal 60FPS when turning the camera sharply etc. This is why for PvP you do need to have a bit of slack.
