SWTOR's years long problem of FPS drops
Before people start yelling about "garbage pc builds" and "lowering graphics" The minimum specs for the game are a 2 core CPU, an Nvidia 610 GPU, and 3BG RAM. It's old. I have a custom built PC that'...

Is a hard question , post a dxdiag per https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Technical/Guide-Posting-a-DxDiag/m-p/4832663/highlight/true#M70799 to get a better idea of the system setup
on rare occasions network driver / latency can impact on fps as the game waits for data example seen at https://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=862749
gsynch can be problematic at times see https://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=970958
few things for nvidia to try turn off AA in game and in the swtor profile in the nvidia control panel set
Antialiasing- FXAA: On
Antialiasing- Mode: Enhance the application setting
Antialiasing- Setting: 8x
MFAA: On
Power Management Mode: Prefer Maximum Performance
Triple Buffering: On
Vertical Sync: Fast (if you use vsync) using just "on" can cause a stutter
also try Low Latency Mode either On or Ultra
edit : another thought is if you have 2 x two Nvidia 2070 Supers in SLI , try turning SLI off and check behavior .. SLI can cause issues in certain games
@proxos666
Here's my Pc specs, also as for the latency/adapter/internet issue I have 1.5Gbps Fiberoptic internet, and my latency in game is never above 12-15ms on the high end. The screen I use is also not compatible with Gsync, therefor it cannot be turned on by any means.Nothing out of place in the dxdiag , i think the issue with the network adapter for that link i provided was power saving issues it didn't change his ping timing either , was first i had heard that too
The NVidia control panel listed changes are worth trying to see any benefit
- @proxos666 I keep SLI off for games like SWTOR, I only ever hear bad things about it. I've tried messing around with a lot of the Nvidia settings, I keep AA off in game since for some reason it just deletes VFX when it's on anything above medium which is also a popular issue.. I haven't messed around with low latency mode or Vsync as I usually just keep both off, will try those and see if there's hopefully any changes
