Performance Issues - Help

I have looked at the recommended system requirements and I can't seem to figure out why this game performs so poorly for me. Whenever I'm in a large combat (like Starbase 24), my FPS drops so low that I can't even play. Lowering all of my graphic settings to low allows me to play, but it's just not the same without the eye candy. The only thing that I can think is that it might be my older i7 processor, but I would think it would still be adequate. My specs:

i7-930
R9 280x
12GB DDR3 RAM
Solid State HD
Apple Cinema display (2560X1440)

I can play other games like Battlefield 4 on max settings. I don't understand why my system is having so much trouble with this game. Anyone know what my issue is? Is it the resolution? My processor?

Thanks!

    It's the game that's the issue. Nothing to do with you or your setup. I know plenty of people who have issues. You have to also recall that in the larger group runs and in SB24 in particular, you end up having SO much going on that the system has issues keeping up with each second on higher graphic settings.

    We did a run once in SB24 with a group of us with max part gens and did gravity wells around and watched as it felt like the server was about to crash form all that was going on.

    This game dont like AMD-s GPU,and CPU... Add to that bad coding,and many bugs... My laptop has far lower specs than my desktop(and yours), but on my laptop is Intel/Nvidia combination,and works great,but on desktop with Intel/AMD combinations, it's full of lag...

    See there's a difference here. My desktop and laptop it runs laggy.

    Desktop is a i7 extreme with 2x 980gtx nvidias with 32gb ram. laptop is an i7 with a nvidia (forget the exact model) and 16gb ram. Situation is about the same on either machine.

    Ah, thanks guys. That makes me feel better. I was thinking it was time for a new computer! It's a shame. The game is so beautiful. I hate lowering the graphics at all.
