I'm at my wits end trying to make Star Wars The Old Republic playable on my PC, and thought I could ask for some advice here if possible.
My PC was originally bought about 4 years ago and is a HP Pavilion a6455.uk with some newer components.
PSU: OCZ OCZ600MXSP-UK ModXStream Pro 600W ATX
GFX: Asus nVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti
OS: Win 7 Ultimate 64x
Ram: 4GB
I have upgraded the GFX to try and get better fps as my game runs at approx 20fps in open areas (not warzones, I completely freeze up in them), but have seen little improvement.
I am considering installing 8GB of RAM but I'm now wondering if this would be throwing good money after bad.
Is it the CPU / motherboard that's the real problem?
Any help / advice very gratefully received. Money is tight so I'd really appreciate any guidance about priorities
Many thanks in advance.
