Which is more stressful than 1280x960, hehe. :) As I said, 1280x960 and above is a no-go with 50fps+ from what I've seen. Drops to 38fps @ 1600.

Hmm... X1800XT crossfire is a good way to go for some ultimate Oblivion performance! :)

If I were you, I'd stick to a single card solution - that's a lot of money.

money not really a problem.

i'm no wasted spender either i like value too.but if i can boost good for the next few months playin oblivion ill buy.

but by the sounds of it you all seem against?
 
Well if you have the money..

It's not good value IMO. I'd wait until the price of 7900 GTXs come down before getting another one at the price they currently are.

It will boost your fps but outside in grassy areas with everything on (and I game at 1680 x 1050 with HDR) Oblivion will still bring your rig to it's knees. It's cpu limited in many places. Extra gpu power can only do so much.

I guess outdoors plus 50 is out of the question,even with xfire and sli?
the game just is ahead of its time?
 
You still resisting easyrider?

I have just replaced a X1900XT-X with 7900GTX SLi

I game at 1920x1200 on a Dell2405. I mostly play COD2 online and Oblivion at the moment.

The difference on COD2 with SLi was extremely good. I can max out all the settings with no problem, I couldn't get any where near that with the X1900XT-X card.

I have to reserve judgement on Oblivion at the moment, as I have only tested it for about 5-10 minutes. First impressions are favourable though, the framerates were a lot higher. I'm sure there will be some lag somewhere, but at least I know there's nothing else I can do about it!

Easyrider, a guy over at XS has tested various cards/Sli setups in regards to Oblivion performance. I wouldn't bother going SLi for that game by the looks of it: LINK (post #6)

As i reported earlier, no single card plays Oblivion with maxed settings in outdoor areas at acceptable FPS :)

I'd be interested to see others Frap results are for these settings.

1> 1600x1200 0AA+16AF+HDR
2> 1280x1024 0AA+16AF+HDR

What do you get?

I was going to suggest this too. Problem is, the results can be "doctored" too easily and we need ppl's honesty for it to work. As we've already seen, there's at least one poster who's not too good with the truth.

Here's my results at 1280x1024 16HQAF+0AA everything max settings and no INI cheats:

2006-05-09 07:03:19 - Oblivion
Frames: 357 - Time: 16741ms - Avg: 21.325 - Min: 13 - Max: 36

2006-05-09 07:03:45 - Oblivion
Frames: 338 - Time: 17513ms - Avg: 19.300 - Min: 12 - Max: 31

2006-05-09 07:04:23 - Oblivion
Frames: 325 - Time: 16996ms - Avg: 19.122 - Min: 11 - Max: 34

2006-05-09 07:04:52 - Oblivion
Frames: 479 - Time: 16829ms - Avg: 28.463 - Min: 11 - Max: 57

Take note of my last benchmark, thats doing the run while looking at the sky which gives a false reading!
 
Same settings, this time with a GFX card overclock:

2006-05-09 07:33:03 - Oblivion
Frames: 396 - Time: 16875ms - Avg: 23.467 - Min: 14 - Max: 40
