Low FPS during group content SWTOR
Hello, everyone. I am going to just jump right into my issue first, then list off my PC specs. So, my issue is quite simple. The game runs smoothly while I am sitting around doing basically nothing,...

Going back to basics first for good housekeeping
Hard to tell your bios version , gather this is your board (Link) so check if have the latest available.
May be worth disabling the elgato capture card to test too.
If you press the windows key and type reliability and open the reliability history see what is listed, the dxdiag does list some crashes as the end for example just not with swtor but the game capture card is listed.
other then that cant see anything out of place in the dxdiag itself.
Okay, so it looked like a BIOS update or two did sneak by me, but I've brought that up to date now. I've also started a fresh install of the game so it'll be a few moments before I can see if that worked or not.
Also, the capture card software did crash a few times earlier today. When I was rolling the graphics drivers forward and back I had forgotten to close the software, crashing it. I don't think it's related to the issue. I've also tried a few times without the capture card plugged in to see if that was part of the issue, and no luck.
Update: After a fresh reinstall and the BIOS update, I am still going down to 20-25 FPS in Warzones (The only way that I can quickly test it without getting a group together.)
20 -25 fps is a common complaint with swtor in warzones though

Understood. On Tuesday my group meets to raid, so I'll know more then as to if it's better in group content.
It's just confusing as I've seen some people's streams/videos and it's as smooth as silk. I guess not so much in pvp, but certainly raids. I feel as though my pc should be up to spec to run an eight year old game. I understand why, just frustrating, I guess.
Either way, thanks so much for your help, proxos666.
