RAM: 16GB of DDR4-2400 RAM running in dual-channel mode (2 8GB sticks) Anyway, without further ado, here are the screenshots and numbers! That way, I could really show how impactful it was on performance. I benchmarked the framerate in places that used that particular effect (e.g. However, I didn't benchmark in those same spots. I’m also obligated to disclose that I took the screenshots in places that best showcased what the graphics setting did. Then, I would take the setting to the next step to do the same until I reached the highest step for that setting. At that point I would measure the framerate and then record it. My testing involved cranking everything to the highest possible setting, and then lowering the setting I wanted to test to the lowest. I’ve also included a table with the framerate for every level of every setting to show the performance cost. I’ve described how impactful each setting is to the image, and provided screenshots (click to enlarge) for you to judge for yourself. This is the bulkiest part of the guide, and probably the most useful.

You could be running a RX 6900 XT and the latest Threadripper CPU but still suffer from FPS drops. This is because when the game runs 8 to 16 man content like Warzones, World Bosses, and Operations it just can’t keep up. One thing to remember however is that they only apply to PVE situations like Class Stories Expansions, Flashpoints, etc. I made these system requirements with a lot of research. But the game’s gone through tons of engine improvements, both graphical and performance-related! Those old specs just don’t hold up anymore, but these do. Once again, I don’t blame BioWare because at the time the game came out, those were accurate. Don’t bother telling me that you checked already, because the requirements on Steam and elsewhere are complete rubbish. Now, before we start doing any of the fun 1337 h4x0r stuff, I want you to make sure you meet the system requirements.
