Do people even read things?

Screen tearing is actually when you force the video card to draw the top half at the same time as the second, which is drawn after. Hence you prevent screen tearing with Vsync. Just explaining how it works more detailed. The game can still run higher fps, but the eye won't see it as those frames are displayed when the monitor flickers black. And to the OP; please FRAPS a 24v24 in Ilum where you run 40fps lol. I'd like to see how you can get ~30 more frames than me with a 5970 and an i7 920@4.0ghz

I'm running SWTOR on: 2500k OC @ 4200 Matrix Platinum 580 8gb RAM Crucial m4 SSD 128GB Understandably, I haven't had a single issue with this game; running everything on full. Overkill at it's best right there.

That is due to the servers not the "bad code". LoL. Did bioware employee new agents around these forums to make false claims about their crappy engine Major battles you get 40+ fps? ROFL.. the lying on your part is sad. Ever think why they are killing ilum slowly and making daily's be completed in warzones? Because they cannot fix their engine so they decided to make ilum irrelevant.

Yep I upgraded from a 2.6 phenom and an ssd and my fps is 10000x better. I would encourage everyone to do the same.

"Look I upgraded my CPU and now my game runs perfect!" Keep these threads up and Bioware may even think the game works flawlessly. Good for you if it works fine, the game still runs horribly on many systems.
