    The low textures are due to the dedicated Vram being under minspec of 1024mb

    Dedicated Memory: 128 MB

    See if in your bios you can increase the memeory assigned to your video card, you should be able to assign 512mb , this will also stop the texture flickering if you get it

    otherwise
    Press the [Windows] Key + [R] at the same time 

    Copy the following in to the text box and press ok 

    %localappdata%\swtor\swtor\settings

    Open the client_settings.ini file in notepad and ensure the following are displayed within 

    example mine for nvidia card is shown as 

    InfoGraphicsVendor = NVIDIA_GPU
    InfoGraphicsVideoMemoryMB = 8011
    MinspecVramCutoffMB = 256

    Lower the MinspecVramCutoffMB = 256 below your reported dedicated video ram in the dxdiag 
    so for example MinspecVramCutoffMB = 64 in your case

    Just note 256 is not the minspecvram minspec that is 1024 , 256 is when they force low textures at present

    This will allow you to use higher textures, but its best if you increase the vram assigned in the bios
