SWTOR Hardware Questions

Before everyone crucifies me and points to the support forum, I was wondering what the bottleneck is for SWTOR and BW. I am aware that you can split the processes between the 8 cores, setting the process priorities, and all that but I'm wondering if it's my hardware:

i7-2600
8 GB Ram
GTX 750 (1 GB)

It runs on Ultra fairly well but collapses when the bot takes over, any info is appreciated. I'm trying to see if it's possible to bot while multiboxing on Ultra.

EDIT: Added more info.

Its not your hardware,

I got an Intel 3770K with GeForce GTX570 and 8GB of RAM and sometimes the combo gets my pc on its knees. :)
If im correct it has to do something with the game pulsing at a different refresh rate then the bot...
 
For botting, no.
For personal gaming yes :)

I saw on this or another forum, someone having Titans in SLI and game was still running crap with the bot.
Your best bet would be killing all processes you dont need, Antivirus, updaters, Teamviewer, adobe shit, etc.
If i do a fresh boot and have nothing else running, the first run with the bot is the cleanest (even without setting processes).
 
I have a 760 on the way but out of curiosity, is the frame rate drops (while the bot is on) due to my graphics card then?
 
no, its all on the connection between the game and the bot...
not much hardware related.

It's because while we are executing our stuff in the game, we prevent the frame from rendering. That can take anywhere up to 100ms (at which point we forcefully finish rendering the frame), and since you're measuring frames per second, the longer it takes us to run our stuff, the fewer frames actually render, and the lower the FPS will be.

So what you're saying is I shouldn't​ order a 770 to replace my 760?
 
I dont think you will see a performance boost with the game and the bot on
 
FWIW, I've found upgrading from 8GB to 16GB RAM to be tremendously helpful for both single and double botting.

Good luck,

I found the more ram the better.
 
Can you tell something about performance gain?
Im also tempted to buy additional 8GB, heck im even tempted about the whole RAMDisk option...
 
You'll get diminishing returns on ram > 8gb. Maybe 16gb might give you a performance boost.

Running swtor on an ssd drive also helps quite a bit, loads players and maps a lot faster and lets you move around crowded areas like the space station smoother.

However, with the bot, doing the steps outlined http://www.thebuddyforum.com/buddy-...0-read-if-buddywing-not-working-your-new.html w/ regards to seperating processors out per the two instances of swtor.exe as well as putting them to high priority in task manager seemed to help me out quite a bit with the bot running.

I haven't noticed any different from putting graphics from ultra down to super low when the bot is on.
