I want to boost my Graphics - can it be done?

[Drake5]

Hey guys,

Im running a Radeon 9550 9X AGP 256MB GFX card.

Intel Celeron D

2GIG Memory

And it wont run oblivion right, it is a little laggy ,


Is there a programme or something that can make this run decent?


Like a booster or something ?

Thanks

hm a 9550, best thing you can do is get a better gfx card and cpu.

As far as im concered, my computer is good, just my gfx card sucks.

Btw, are you gonna buy me the GFX card?

No amount of system tweaking will give you good performance in Oblivion with that graphics card. My recommendation would be to set the resolution to 640x480, with AA and AF disabled, and make sure all the sliders in your ATI driver control panel are set to max performance. Also overclock your graphics card to the limit because you need all the power you can get.

If you look at this benchmark, you will see that even in a game from a couple of years ago (splinter cell), at 640x480 your card averages under 21fps: http://img.neoseeker.com/v_thumb.php?articleid=1662&image=7

If you are tight for cash, there are some reasonable secondhand cards available for £50 or less (e.g. one of the 9700/9800 series cards), which will be vastly superior to your current one.

When you mentioned to put all my slides up to max, most of them have the box checked that says "Let the aplication decide"
