Beth should just release an unfinished game, the amount of work community modders do is astounding!

Quite possibly, as there is less onboard RAM on your card than other older higher end cards.

Installed it, now my Oblivion runs a little jerky cause of the ultra-high textures! Going to have to turn down AA grr!

You got the 320mb gts?

Viral · 13 Mar 2007 at 04:16

its a little jerky for me too and the textures on the land in the distance still look pants, although the rocks are amazing.

Jabbs · 13 Mar 2007 at 08:03

Runs good that and looks much better.

Yeah, BFG 8800 GTS 320MB! I did have 4xAA, 4xAF and HDR running. I have turned down the AA and AF now and its a little bit better but my FPS is definately gone down it never used to be as stuttery etc.

Have a feeling this texture pack is designed with 512MB cards in mind?

modo77 · 13 Mar 2007 at 10:04

Thanks for the heads up. And wow its rather large

Just had a look over here - http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=OblivionMods.Detail&id=2363 seems other people with 512MB+ GPUs are having a few problems too, obviously it would also depend on their other components too. Interesting though that a few there have less than 512MB and are having no problems! :confused:

blimey that's rather large ooeer hmmm on my modem that'll take about 6 months? to d/l heh

LoadsaMoney · 13 Mar 2007 at 13:18

same here, im on 6mb and i gave up a few times now as it just goes about 90-140k.

FrenchTart · 13 Mar 2007 at 13:27

Why not just wait it out? 1.5-2GB is a lot and would take ages but just stick it in a program that can resume downloads and forget about it for a day or so.

Even at 60KB/sec, the download should take less than 8 hours (dodgy maths possibly).

Phalanx · 13 Mar 2007 at 16:36

installed, very impressive, some of the textures (notably curved wall joints) are a bit buggy but it's a great improvement in image quality for from what I can see, a very minimal performance decrease.

Jimbo · 13 Mar 2007 at 16:44

This is very slow to download, doing 26k a sec here, i could be an old man before i see this.
