My system has plenty of muscle to play this game according to the game requirements. IE:
Mobo: Asus P6X58D-E
CPU: Xeon X5650 running at 3.57Ghz
Graphics: R9 290
Memory: 12GB of DDR3 at 1600mhz
Hard Drive: PNY 480GB SSD
But here's the thing: Whenever I try to play open, I am fine until I get 3 or more live players in my instance. While the exact numbers vary, I ususally see my fps go from 60 (And this is with frame sync enabled and locked to 60) down to 10, heck I have seen it go BELOW that occasionally.
The system spec requirement only states a online connection but does not mention a minimum bandwidth number. I am out in a rural area and because of my distance to the CO my connection is usually in the 1.0 to 1.4Mbps range. I have tried logging on at all hours of the day to see if maybe my bandwidth is getting choked depending on the time of day, IE: more people using the service. Doesn't seem to make much difference.
I considered trying to lower my graphics settings but am guessing that its not the eye-candy as much as it is the system having to get info on "live" Cmdr's vs the NPC's I see.
Anyone else with "Low" speed broadband having this issue?
