Aaron86, this is the thread with all the official updates. Theres no other secret place where there are announcements

 

Hey guys,

i am planning to buy some new hardware to run SWTOR smooth on my pc. Actually i have two pcs in different rooms, upstairs there is a Phenom II X6 1045T, 4GB DDR 3 Ram with a Radeon HD 4870 1GB DDR5 Version and sometimes even on this configuration running the game on FULL HD 1080P sucks.

Downstairs in my partyroom there is a Athlon X2 255 (Dualcore 3,1Ghz), 4g DDR3 Ram and a GTS 250 512mb Version.

For the lower one i want to buy some new hardware (i do have a motherboard which is capable of running an AM 3+ CPU): M5A78L-MLX and the memory is ddr3 too.

So i think i just need a new cpu+cooler and a new gpu (of course i am going to buy a new power supply too)

Any ideas concerning a new cpu and gpu? Why i do post that in here, because i just want to run SWTOR.

I am thinking of a native multi-core processor

Phenom II X4 or X6, dont want to buy one of these new FX CPUs

I prefer NVIDIA over Radeon Graphics.

Thanks for your help.

 

This Question is probably better discussed in the official swtor forums, you will get a larger base of players using various hardware. Just add 10% cpu overhead to allow botting. But the game is primarily GPU driven. I personally would drop the 4870 into your secondary computer and buy a new 7950 or 7870 for your primary computer. And bump both machines to 8gb ram. Thats about all you need.

 

Thanks for your advise. As you said i went to a computer-store a few minutes ago and bought 8gb of memory for each of my computers and tada it runs smoothly on both of them now.

But i don't wanna buy such an expensive GPU like the 7870 one. What do you think of an 6850/70 ( about 110?) with a Phenom II X4 965 ( 100?) ?

I am definitely not going to buy a GPU for 300? or more

 

The 6850/70 is very good bang for the buck at the moment. It'll be EOL soon so you should get them whilst they're there.

 

Off gamers is paying well above those rates. It's $.024101 per 1k credits.

 

DUN DUN DUN

Round 4, FIGHT!

 

I hope that means you guys are releasing this soon. I have a 3 week break in may and I want to spend it writing swtor stuff. Getting really tired of AutoHotKey macro spam.

 

Sorry I'm a noob here still I can't wait to give it a go though

 

In running the game on a g73sw best buy edition so the gpu is downgraded from a gtx 460 192 bit 1.5 gig ram to a gtx 460 128 bit 1 gig or ram and I can run everything on high except for the shadows that are on low if I was to overclocking a bit I can go high on everything CPU is a 2630qm with 8 gigs of Samsung ram

 

Best of luck with you trying to sell your credits at $0.024101 per 1k credits. This is already like 66% of the price that you sell direct to an actual gold-buying player himself.

Offgamers are operated by Malaysians.
- China's Chinese Middlemen sell to them.
- They buy currency via two methods: 1) Registered Supplier 2) On the fly Buyback (the common Middlemen route)
- They have stringent verification for registered supplier (you need a bot farm and credentials) so you're stuck with option 2
- Their buying price is between 40% to 66% of the selling price (price that they sell to actual customers)
- Their server demand system is as random as a roulette and also they don't need to buy a lot from option 2 because they get their supply from option 1.

So unless you have accounts in all the 100 servers-faction-combination, you're stuck with selling to the Chinese Middlemen for a steady income. And yes, the Chinese Middlemen always rip you off, down to 5% to 10% actual selling price so that they can sell-back to places like Offgamers.

 

Any chance my merc rotation post got me a spot on that list?

 

I hope it is soon. My servers about dead and im going to change to a higher pop one.

 

I took it to mean that as of right now, the only people in the closed beta are the people who helped with rotations. So if you haven't got one yet, I'm assuming you probably won't get one for the people working on rotations.

 

DUN DUN DUN...

Round 5, Fight!
