Now before you read the title and say "You don't have the right specs for what ever game your running". The problem is, I do have them. I know a bit about Hardware in PC's and I know I have the correct specs and I even went to http://systemrequirementslab.com/ and typed in "Star Wars: The Old Republic" and it scanned my PC and it came out that I had well over the required specs to play this game, It does this on almost every game I play such as SWTOR, StarCraft 2, Company of Heroes 2, World of Tanks and League of Legends even though I have well over the recommended required specs to play the games. My current PC specs are.

Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) 9750 Quad-Core Processor (2.4 ghz)

RAM: 4 Gigs of RAM, 2.8 available

OS: Windows XP Home Edition

Video Card: Nvidia Geforce GT 640 2GB

Now here are the minimum specs to play Star Wars: The Old Republic

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4000+ or better, Intel Core 2 Duo Processor 2.0 GHz or better

RAM: Windows XP: 1.5 GB, Windows Vista and Windows 7: 2GB

OS: Windows XP (Service Pack 3), Vista, 7

Video Card: 256 MB of on-board RAM and Shader model 3.0 or better support (ATI Radeon X1800 or better, NVIDIA GeForce 7800 or better, Intel 4100 Integrated Graphics or better).


So far I have tried optimizing my games in nvidia control panel, updated my nvidia graphic drivers, cleaned the dust out of my PC, run other software designed to give extra FPS in games such as game booster and a few more things. If anyone knows any other solutions on how to fix this please tell!

SWTOR doesn't seem to have a recommended requirements spec, even after searching on the internet (not listed on systemrequirementslab either). Keep in mind this is the minimum spec, so it won't guarantee you the smoothest gameplay. Your graphics card is also only entry-level. While it may have 2GB's of memory (and thus appear to pass SRL's test) your video card's processing power is what really matters. What framerates are you currently getting? What FPS are you aiming to hit?

My current FPS at 800x600 resolution is a consistent 15. Which I feel like I should be getting at least 50-60 on 800x600. Would a OS lower FPS? I looked up the recommended specs for Starcraft 2 and I reached everything besides my Operating System.
