My son's machine does fine in PVE a strong 30-50fps all day long, but in PVP Warzones or on Fleet bases it takes a nose dive to as low as 8-10 fps. I've experimented a lot and with or without all the options maxed the FPS are identical.



Even my machine drops from 110-80 fps to as low as 30-50 fps in PVP WZ and on fleet bases, but I have FPS to spare I guess.



I even went as far as purchasing a new PSU for the AMD rig so I could swap one of my factory overclocked 460s into his machine, since I can do just fine with a single card, as this game doesn't do SLI very well, sometimes it simply uses one card and not both too oddly.



And on his machine with a new PSU and the GTX 460 over the GT 430 my results are IDENTICAL. Crap performance in PVP WZ and on Fleet bases. So it doesn't seem that upgrades will do much, and I'm tempted to build another i5 2400 instead of a 2500k for his machine, but I'm afraid it will be money wasted with this game.



As it stands that machine with the 9750/8gig DDR2 and the GT 430 and a 7200 rpm HD runs Skyrim, Battlefield 3, Crysis 2, WOW and everything else I can throw at it just fine at the max rez of 1440x900 (max his monitor will support) with most eye candy maxed even. But this game that doens't look nearly as good as those other titles can't get more than 8-10 fps minimum in a PVP match.



All of this leads me to believe that the code is simply unoptimized and second-rate. More so since people with hardware better than mine have worst performance than I do. So hardware upgrades to play this game are pointless I believe. Yeah this is so true. I have an i5 2500k with dual GTX 460s 1GB each, and 8gig DDR3 and a 7200 RPM HD on my main machine, and my son's machine is a 9750 AMD Phenom Quad-Core with 8gig DDR2 and a GT 430 1GB video card.
