Just downloaded lanscape LOD textures mod for oblivion. While it looks AMAZING and makes the game feel like it was released a year ago rather than 3-4years ago. Its really messes up the fps -_- I have a high end PC 3.8Ghz quad, 4Gb ram, GPU:5870. The main problem lies in walking. i walk for around 6-7 seconds and the game freezes for around 0.5 - 1.0 second then the frame rates goes mad!
Dropping from 60 to 25fps then up to 50 then back down to 15 etc for a few seconds. Then after ive walked a bit more it all happends again.
Im no games designer but i think its when the game has to load a new ..area? Its such a shame as like i say its an amazing mod but REALLY does make it unplayable. Ive looked around and a lot of people are running this mod fine with lower hardware specs. Any one got any clues? Ive tweeked the INI file so it loads more of the area (as suggested by a game tweek site) but it seems to have made it worse. Any one have any ideas? :/

P.s Would 2 hard drives set up in a RAID0 help? While this is an exspensive solution it would be worth it as its one hell of a game, spesh with this mod!
 
Oblivion can be SERIOUSLY demanding when highend mods are enabled. I have a 4.2ghz i5, 4GB PC12800C7, GTX280 and framerate chugs in places (pahncrd's mod compilation)

Have a look at the stutter remover, there's also some kind of streaming tweak you can do.

Finally it may be worth monitoring system and gpu memory usage just to make sure you aren't running out
