I'm honestly not sure such a system exists yet

AMD FX 57 or better, and either 2x 7900 GTX's in SLi, or 2x x1900's in Crossfire., 2gb Ram etc...

Well a decent enough system to play it then? with all gfx etc? worth getting then if you like mmorpgs??

a 7900gt with a 4800+ will run it at medium settings reasonably well (15fps minimum in out door areas) , but not really well. a 7600gt and a 3700+ will run it at lowish settings ok. as stated previously there is no system out yet that can run it flatout perfectly.

thats fair enough about an uber system , i have an athlon 4800+ dual core , 2gig ram , 2x x1900's so will that run at med settings okay? cant decide if i should get it or not really :E

My athlon 3700 and 7800GT can run it well enough in high graphics. A few things are turned down a bit but it's on the high setting.

I've got a 3800+, 2GB of RAM and one X1900XTX. I had it running more or less full settings pretty well. Lowest my FPS dropped to was around 20 in areas outside with very dense vegetation. I got 60-85 FPS indoors, 40-60 FPS in towns/cities...

Damn it I just had to see this thread

I'm trying to hold off on spending more money and the temptation to get my first X1900 is getting to great

Tell me it's worth doing :rolleyes:

The master card will have to come in september when the prices drop some more.

As i said 2x 1900's should be fine, see here

XBOX 360

Only joking

Mp4 · 5 Jul 2006 at 23:01

Heh x360 is an alternative though i dont own one

pc's for the win

How can you compair oblivion to say wow, etc? defo going to get it from play went in to game today its £32 what are they thinking! and hitman BM is £35 / £17.99 from play. Retail shops will go down if they dont lower there prices :/

i've not played any elder scrolls series do i need to play them before i play oblivion?

You sound like someone who hasn't even played the game :confused:

why is everyone sayin dual graphics stuff :confused:

I run it on a A64 3700+ @2.8, x1900xt 2 gig ram, everything MAXED 40+ fps easy, in the 100's indoors

I play it fine on medium settings with my below rig, I'm guessing people arent making the required changes to the ini file to make the game run better?

nO}{8 · 6 Jul 2006 at 10:05

with 2 7900gts @ 630/1600 and a 3ghz opteron, 2gb pc4000 it does not run FLATOUT in outdoor areas. I dont care what anyone says no can get above 60 fps (which I set as the benchmark for smooth gameplay) with HDR, 16xAA, and a high resolution. when the game dips into the 30's fps it is very distracting :mad:

If you can get 60fps constantly with all settings on high with HDR, 16xAA and a high resolution please tell how you did it

I was saying dual as i thought he was after 60+, as he said flat out.

I run it maxed out on an A64 3500+ with a 512mb X1800 XT, 1280x1024 (TFT), 2xAA/16xAF+HDR, and every slider ramped, gets between 30-40 outdoors, and loads more indoors.

Even x1900XTX-crossfire is far too slow to run Oblivion MAXED at constant high framerate (60+): http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/oblivion_high-end_performance/page11.asp . As you can see, even in 1600x1200 with NO AA, such a rig has a min fps dropping as low as 40.

However, you should be able to get good performance on your system by not running on max settings.
