Can't Play Oblivion with a 6800LE ?

Gecco · 19 Jul 2006 at 20:37

No Matter what I do, I can't get a playable framerate.
I had to go back to stock pipelines on the Card as with the unlocked ones I had artifacts in the game.

I already set all setings to low & small textures - graphic looks cr@p now but still no more than approx 5fps.

Any ideas?

Yes CPU Temp is fine @ 40 Celsius

I just used driver cleaner & then installed the latest nvidia driver.

I now get 1k less in 3dmark 03 :confused:

Sorry. GPU Temp is fine aswell @52 Celsius

Thing is i just completed the game "Prey" and it ran with all settings on high without any problems

did you just upgrade your card from something else?

No I didn't.

I noticed that once I put the DVD in it takes about 2 minutes for the autoplay menue to come up.

So I tried a nocd patch but no improvement in the game.

I have all settings to the lowest possible.

The game loads pretty quick.

But once I start a "new game" - in the character selection screen I'm getting low fps.

Once in the game even the mouse cursor in menues moves very slowly & I have to click on the options various times.

I'm out of ideas

Thanks for the link. I installed it - graphic is a lot worse but still the same low fps problems :mad:

I ocd the CPU yesterday.

Still the same. It didn't make a difference at all.

I will try to reinstall the game..

as all other games work perfectly fine.

I upgraded to a x1800XT today.

Still the same problem :mad:

I've read on various forums that it can be something to do with the mouse driver ????

Regardless of what settings i set I always get 4 FPS.

No Spyware etc.

All other games run perfectly.

Gecco · 26 Jul 2006 at 18:54

yes I tried that too.

I found the "problem" yesterday.
Altough having a PCI Express Card
I played with the AGP Settings in the Bios. (Set everything to Maximum)

Started the GAme - High Settings ~75 FPS

It didn't affect any other games, 3dmark06 Score stayed the same .

I also put the 6800le back in to test it - game works fine - High Settings ~30 FPS.
