Turnizzle Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I am running the Following AMD A8-3870K Unlocked Llano 3.0GHz Socket FM1 100W Quad-Core Desktop APU (CPU + GPU) with DirectX 11 Graphic AMD Radeon HD 6550D AD3870WNGXBOX G.SKILL Value 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9S-4GBNT - x2 Foxconn A75M FM1 AMD A75 (Hudson D3) HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard Linkworld LPG8 630w 630W ATX12V Power Supply Western Digital AV RFHWD3200AVJS 320GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal AV Hard Drive Intel 330 120GB SSDSC2CT120 I run into some low fps when questing and in some heavy graphic boss fights, what I was thinking was picking up a second video card that works with the one that is built into the processor or up grading completely. Would either of those ideas work or should I do something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggardbr Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 The need to have some performance improvements is one issue from this game. I have the following system: i7 2600 @ 3.4 GHz Quad-Core 8Gb DDR3 Corsair @ 1600 MHz SATA2 SSD for SO SATA3 SSD for Games HDD for storage only G-Force GTX660Ti with 2GB VRam My game settings are all maxed. With that you think I can keep 60 FPS all the time with vertical synchronization turned on, right? WRONG! I barely go over 40 FPS in the fleet near GTN area. Some planets I do get steady 60 FPS most of the times (even more if I turn vsync off) but in some places the FPS rate drops to below 50 frames. Warzones... during heavy fights with lots of people gathered, I don't go over 45 FPS. Some ops, the same as warzones. I guess that the biggest problem is that this game is coded as a 32 bit application (so I've heard/read). If they change it to 64 bits, we could have a really good improvement in my opinion.

Would either of those ideas work or should I do something else? A "second" video card wouldn't make any sense, as no dedicated video card will work together with an integrated graphics chip. A video card for around 50 - 70$ (GeForce GT630, Radeon HD 6750/70 or something like that) would probably be a good way to boost your performance quite notably. Then deactivate your graphics chips and never ever turn it on again ;-) Edited July 29, 2013 by Count_Haake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
