This was seen back in September, if this is still occurring can you post the below details for info, and can re-open this if needed.
Old thread on this here
If you have the following setting in the client_settings file try deleting it "AmbientNPCCount = 32"

Hello everyone,
While this does appear to be affecting many of you and is potentially unrelated to your specific setup, we will still need to gather some data to assist the studio in looking into this further:
- Your DxDiag
- Your current graphic settings, available in your client_settins.ini file, by default located here: %localappdata%\swtor\swtor\settings
Cheers,
Nils
here is the info u asked for...
Looking at the dxdiag you are on Windows Th1, if you do update to Th2 there is an issue at present that causes BSOD ingame, so if you do theis update put grass to 0 until fixed, this will stop the known crashing.
now I cant see the bios version but can see the EC is outdated not sure if you want to muck around updating this. (not related to this issue)
looking at the NVidia driver the latest is here
moving down to the client_settings file , delete the following lines to see if any impact
DYDDrawDistancePreset = 2 and AmbientNPCCount = 35
Now in game have you played with any settings ? see if turning AA off altogether has any affect and if any change between fullscreen mode and fullscreen window mode.
once seeing if any change at all can proceed from there
i tried everything you mentioned it seems when im getting 30 fps all the npc animation becomes choppy except the npc im highlighting , this is really ruining the game for me
