Oblivion (Elder Scrolls IV)
I do beleive i OWN this game.... yup got it yesterday... couldnt wait for it to be relased in the UK so got it shipped over express from USA! :D
Just a side note... if u got a good GFX card... and by good i mean X800/GF6600GT and above this game will be lolvley... under that you wont experiance it like it should be....
Im gonna upgrade by 9800 Pro sometime soon...

Well good thing i didnt buy this! My friend bought a copy and brought it over, since i have a better graphics card than he does, and I cant even hardly move in the menus it is that jerky...I admit I only have the GeForce FX5900, but DAMN - all the settings at the lowest and I cant move the mouse properly on the screen? He is fit to be tied since he only has the Ti series video card right now..lol..
oh and this system is the 3000+ with 2gb ram yada yada yada...I just dont get it...*sigh*
Was looking forward to trying it too! Then maybe buying it once the price came down to around $20.

Remember, I am opinionated and nothing I say or do reflects on anyone or anything else but me
and that is why I cant understand why mine is doing so poorly - the FX5900 Ultra blows away the ati 9800 pro. Only difference between the 5900 ultra nd mine is 50mhz core clock - mine is 400 the ultra is 450.Immortal wrote:my god people... my 9800 pro does well for itself... im at recommended settings but instead of 800x600 im at 1280x960 and have turned on water reflect and water ripple. All i turned down was visual distance and that was by 1 notch... its a massive boost to performance!
Maybe there is something else screwed up on mine
oh I was running at 1280X1024 to match my monitor, maybe i should try at 800X600 or something...just htought of that

Scroll to the middle of the page and then a little bit down to where it says "Very low end video card (GF3, GF4ti, radeon 8500/9000 etc, possibly FX series) tweaks (Or, is my video card supported?)"
Has a lot of tweaks you can do to get the game running smoothly.
Though the best performance boost for people will probably come from tweaking the SMP (if you have dual core) and grass options in Oblivion.ini.
Specifically:
[General]
iPreloadSizeLimit=1000000000
[OPENMP]
iThreads=20
iOpenMPLevel=20
[Grass]
iMinGrassSize=125 (the higher the number, the less dense the grass)
I got a copy from my friends to make sure it ran on my PC, but it's so good, Im going to buy it. Afterall, they didn't bother with all that copyright protection crap. I'm impressed and for that, they deserve kudos!audiodox wrote:done waiting for it to come out... just waiting to get enough money buy it
Also, the tweaks on the forums REALLY helped out on my GeForce Go 6600
