SWTOR horrendous stuttering.

Hello. I experience really terrible stuttering and I don't know why. MY PC is a WIndows 10, AMD Phenom II X4 925, ATI AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series and 8 GB DDR3 RAM. I will attach my dxdiag also. Please...

    New thermal paste maybe needed if its been years since done, check the heatsink for dust as well and the fan is working ok

    temps over 71 are not good or even near 71 as dont want to be running near max temps

    let me know how you get on.

    Swtor is heavily CPU dependant and is a byproduct of the engine

i've tried every setting i could find ingame and in nvidia control panel. the only thing that help was disabling nameplace scaling. i have 4790k and 970 gtx so this isn't a hardware problem.

Turn  Shadow Map Resolution down in the ingame gfx settings see if that stops it.

To enable and disable vsync this can only be done in fullscreen mode

    I fixed it!!!

    I had stuttering from really high CPU temperatures. I bought a new cooler/thermal paste and from 70 Celsius it went to 35-40!!! The game goes as smooth as butter now!

    I want to thank the people that helped me and spent their time on me! 🙂
