Oblivion Prefromance.

[Toxcity]

I have Oblivion.

I was hoping I could run it at full seeing as im above the minimum and recomended specs.

How come I can't?

Is it a badly written game engine or something?

Or is just my system is struggleing?

you need a pretty powerfull system to run Obv on full, just look at the FPS some of the top end cards pull off in their reviews in OC3D's review section. I do think there are Nvidia drivers designed for use with oblivion though

[FarFarAway]

nVidia + Oblivion = bad FPS.

If you want good Oblivion performance you need a X19XXX card.

Even the uber high-end cards don't do as well

As Llwyd said I think pretty much all our card reviews feature Oblivion as a game test

In general Oblivion just hammmers PCs....

Hell, morrowind still does on full settings.

See if any of this helps. Lots of decent tweaks in there, such as giving the grass slighly less volume.

Thank you for all your replys!

I have ahd a lookie at the tweak guide and tweaked a few settings which has given me loads more FPS...

Is it true? Nvidia + Oblivion = rubbish? Damn!

Well I will never chnage to ATI.. EVIL!

Thank you again guys! Just looked at the reveiws and the 7900 looks good!

I'm really surprised about posts like this.

I can run the game really well with my system specs (which I class as modest)

AMD 64/3000+

ASUS A8V Deluxe mobo

1Gb GeIL PC3200/DDR400 Dual Channel

Club 3D nVidia 6600GT/128

I'm running at 1024x768

High textures

View distance maxed out

Distant trees at max

All reflections enabled in the ini

I'm getting between 20-30 FPS when I'm in the Blackwood area and around 35-40 FPS inside buildings and towns.

What a lot of peeps do is try to use 2xAA or 4xAA at very high resolutions.

If your card supports it, try the 2xQAA setting. This gives a good AA without the performance hit.

The human eye can't even notice the difference above 30fps, lol.

i know thats what we're told but its honestly not true, i can notice my games at 60fps, its why our eyes hurt when looking at a 60Hz CRT monitor.
