Computer that should be able to run the game but lagging like crazy

Hello all,

 

Thank you in advance for posting, here are my current specs:

 

Motherboard: ASUS #M4A78T-E (AM3 CPU, DDR3)

Ram: 4Gb x 1 Corsair

CPU: AM3 2.8

Graphics Card: ATI 6770

OS: Window 7 64bit

 

Just did a clean install but I still get lag mostly in the form of "shuddering". the kicker is the fact that no mater if I have my setting on Max or on as low as possible the game runs the same. I can be anywhere from the imperial fleet, a flash point or a battleground and the effect is the same. as a side note my wifes pc has a 2.5 amd, 2gbx2 ddr2 80mhz and a nvidea 550 TI and runs the game perfect. the only difference I can see is the brand on graphics card and the fact she has 2 cards of ram vs 1.

 

Thanks again all

The RAM is kinda on the low side. Windows 7 uses about 2-3 Gb in idle processes. That doesn't leave much for swtor to use. Also is your processor at least dual core?

 

That's all I can notice.

 

If yours is using that much RAM on idle you have allot going on in the background, mine uses 1 GB at most. Might want to run a Malware scan.

the radeon HD 6770 was rated better than the Nvidea 550TI that my wife uses and she runs it perfect.

 

I was just suggesting if it was happening in other games, you may have to RMA the card. Their like cars sometimes you get lemons.

 

You might also want to give your RAM a diagnostic. Which takes 8+ hours just to check if any of your RAM sticks have a error.

lol uh oh. Maybe it is over heating or a fan is hitting something. Might be your Video Card fan those things can be noisy depending on which one.

 

My money is on the video card but you never know until you try everything. Computers can be frustrating.

 

I used have a problem with my ATI cards all the time and switched to nVidia and haven't had a problem since *knock on wood*. I even got 2 dud cards which is extremely annoying.

 

Good luck on your journey lol. Hope it works out for ya and you don't end up throwing it through a window.
