-Atrain- Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) 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 Edited January 13, 2012 by -Atrain- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remair Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Atrain- Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Yes, its a Quad core AMD 2.8. I can "core unlock" to overclock the CPU but the last time I did that the system was very unstable crashing a lot. Thanks, Atrain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesumPossum Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Might be your video card? is it just SWTOR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Atrain- Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Might be your video card? is it just SWTOR? the radeon HD 6770 was rated better than the Nvidea 550TI that my wife uses and she runs it perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill run a ram check, didnt think of that. all I know is this is driving me nuts lol. also like a car, the darn thing is making a noise and I can hear where its coming from but no mater how many new parts are put in it, it almost seems to gets worse. lol Edited January 13, 2012 by -Atrain- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
