High ram usage
I'm about to upgrade my GPU and power supply after just upgrading my CPU and RAM. I wanted to take some performance readings first with my current setup. My game is being run at medium preset with ...

@Nagadango That's interesting. I wonder if the game is (now) allowing itself to use as much RAM as is available, up to a very unreasonable point, in an effort to optimize performance. For comparison's sake, I saw an increase in memory use on Koboh from patch 1.02 (red) to 1.04 (green), but not nearly that high, on a computer with 16 GB memory:
If you're interested in any further testing, I'd be curious to know what the game would do with only one 16 GB module installed. I know it would be bad for performance, and I'm not asking you to test if you're not interested or don't have time, but you've piqued my curiosity.
@puzzlezaddict Thanks for the interest, here's my new parts after upgrading my GPU and power supply:

I tested this setup with only 16 gb of ram and experienced a significant performance hit. Settings run at high preset, I saw textures fail to load and some npcs popping in. Grass was popping in too and not effected by any lightsaber attacks. No crashes though which I guess is a plus, my guess is because of the extra vram on my new card. Keep in mind too I can run this on epic with consistent 40-70 frames and no graphical glitches. Final picture is the place where my game would crash everytime.
Anyways I don't feel like going back to my old card to see if it would crash on 16gb of ram and 6gb of vram. I'm gonna overclock my card and see if I can get it at 70-80 fps with epic settings.
