Very High Graphics Setting: Who is this for, NASA computers?

I just got a new computer, and probably spent a little more than I should have. It's an i7 4900, dual GTX 780's SLI, 2 SSDs Raid 0 ('marked at 1100 mb/s.) I even installed SWTOR Unleashed and have ALL of the assets and DiskCacheArea running from my 32G of RAM...........and I still have to turn off bloom, set shaders to low, turn off Anti Aliasing because I still get LAG where FPS drops under 20 in the PvP, and the PvP area of the fleet. What else do I need to turn down to speed this up? Where the hell is the bottleneck?

Could you give me a link to the i7 4900? Google is only yielding Laptop processors when I search it.

I run the game on max settings and I have no issues in 16man Ops or PvP. I occasionally lag on the fleet and the new CZ-198 area is laggy but thats it.

BTW my computer is over two years old.

EDIT: Just saw the guy above me's comment. I believe your problem is you are trying to play an MMO on a laptop.

My system is far from cutting edge, its about 4 years old and wasn;t anywhere near the best then. But I play on all max settings with very little to no lag. (I do get bad lag in the new daily zone when its packed howevere, and load speeds seem to be getting longer with every patch).
i have heard that the game actually plays worse on better systems though.

I have a i7-3770k running 32MB RAM, and a GTX 660 Ti FTW+ 3GB and I have everything maxed out with no lag. Sure it's not your internet connection? I'm not running Unleashed and I don't even have it installed on my SSD, just a standard 1TB 7200RPM drive.

32MB of RAM? That's really bad.

Internet connection is running at about 3.5 mb/s (i think it's about 30mb down/ 4mbs up) and getting pretty solid ping times at about 18 - 25ms.

Couple things.

Check drivers. YOu really shouldnt be having problems with the machine you have but there could be a bottleneck anyways.

After that, turn on the FPS meter (ctrl-shift-f) and tell me what color it is. If I remember correctly red means it is a rendering problem. Green means it is a processing problem. And yellow is a mix of both.

What other programs do you have running? Especially if this was a prebuilt machine, what crap did the manufacturer install that may be taking up resources

Run a graphics benchmark (the DX11 from 3dmark is a good one) and see what you are getting

If this is a prebuilt (and a laptop like the others think) that may very well be your problem.

nvidia cards never run well. There's your issue.

He said he has dual GTX 780's, what type of laptop are you guys imagining?
