SLI/Crossfire
Hello, i would like to tell you about a common issue on SWTOR. SLI or Crossfire bring stuttering, less smoth game than 1 card. Is it normal? Is it normal also that this game use about 50% of the g...

The test you've just show that the engine is not using properly a CPU.
Even at low settings, an i7 4930K or 5960X with overclock on it will always have more instructions power than an FX4100.
That's the problem, the game don't use all components power, CPU and GPU and with multiple cards it 's worse.

Exactly. The game is not using the CPU properly. And that's why the CPU is the bottleneck.
Ofc those i7s are far better than the crappy FX. I was just giving an example with my current build.
Why would you want to use SLI anyway when a single GPU is more than enough and SLI is unable to further increase FPS?
Yes the game doesn't use everything that a modern PC can offer and the things that it actually uses are not used perfectly well.
Problem with that is that BW would have to rewrite most of the games code to make it 64bit, multi-threaded, SLI-optimised and what not and currently it's not worth the effort for them.
- Exactly. And it's a crying shame. Such a beautiful game needs to be played on ultra.
Morning all..
Could I please ask which OS are you currently using?
Reason.. I have.
i5 4960k not oc
Sabertooth mk2 z97
16gig 1600Mhz
Geforce 960ftw
Nothing water cooled because I'm lazy.
100 fps in game on Ultra dropping to 70-80 fps in warzones.
All the time the Vcard is at ~40 useage as it is bored.
I'm aware that SLI and Crossfire do have issues, but they are minor if your struggling to match what I have just provided then it will be your OS and Software setups/configs giving you grief , they will needs attention too.
About here I would be suggesting Turn off all your overlays, sort out your power settings, kill Windows Aero as that in itself can use ~40% of your system resources just to have a translucent taskbar..... just to name a few.
Some days I'm surprised that my X1100t using an HD7770 Vcard beats the * out of folks with systems more then double the cost of mine for in game fps performance..
