I have recently installed Oblivion on my PC and am really impressed with the visual quality, my brother tells me there is a texture pack you can get that improves the visual quality even more for this game. I have had a search and there are loads of texture packs out there. How do I know which one to get?

Obscuro's Oblivion Overhaul isn't bad I believe, can't remember whether that had the textures or not though

i think the best is "Qarls Texture Pack" or somethign liek that. Thats the one that i use. Just google Qarls Texture. It's a lot more demanding tho 
I think that v3 has jst been released if im not mistaken

i put a recent post up about Quarls texture pack for oblivion. have a looky.
linky
heres some links for different texture packs and oblivion tweaking.
read all and apply it
make it pretty
atomic - tuning
atomic - modblivion
UESPwiki- all you need to know about oblivion
mods...lots of 'em
read that lot and you'll be an Oblivion guru
you really want to read about texture packs and your pc performance. Quarls realistically = 8800GTS or 1950XTX or SLI otherwise your frame rates will crawl and yer Video ram will be saturated.
heres som "shajas texture replacements/LOD fix's" screenies and some vanilla screenies for comparison.
vanilla - no texture mods. rubbish eh?
same view. shajas LOD textures/borders bluesteels fix and better grass without tiling. a bit better you'll agree?
another vanilla. fairly craper resolution for scenery
although the game still looks good without distant landscapes etc. models are'nt re-textured by most texture resolution increase mods.
i had shajas normal texture replacer and border replacer plus bluesteeles lod fix and better grass without tiling (as advised by tweakguides - first link). which i was very happy with.
i re-instaled oblivion with the intention of loading quarls 3 texture pack. (i may have been happy with the first texture mods but more is always better ). however i've held off until i get an 8800gts (1 more month to go !)
and because i can't face anymore blury vanila textures i've loaded back on the originals i first stated.
hope this helps.
