    Hello all

    I have an M11X R3 i5 and 4 GB of RAM, I have tried everything posted in this forum and in other places around the web. I have downloaded Gamebooster, game accelerator... but I still can improve my game performance... In Fleet I have around 5-10 fps, warzones are unplayable... and in the rest of the world around 20-30 fps.

    I saw some videos in youtube or read about people with same specs and the have better fps. Should I go for 6GB of Ram?

    Thanks for the answer

    I don't think extra RAM will help at all, what settings are you playing at and are you sure it's whitelisted and is using the 540M and not integrated GPU?

    Hi. Rishwin and thanks for the answer.

    I play everything in low specs... also in the lowest screen resolution (800*640 I think). I have whitelisted the game, also I set Nvida gpu as default for all the system. (How do I really know the game is whitelisted). I really have tried everything out there.. also I format my m11x a month ago.

    This is really sad, becouse I see other people with same specs runing better fps than me

    Open Nvidia Control Panel > Click "desktop" at the top > select & tick "Display GPU activity in notification area".

    If your GPU is being used, the icon in your tray will be colored and you can mouse over it for a list of what program is using it, if it's using integrated then that icon will be grey.

    so to find out, do that then while playing SWTOR just tab-out and see if it's using the GPU.

    Using latest drivers?
