TERRIBLE performance in Oblivion

Yarkanat · 28 May 2007 at 13:06

SO. I set up my new rig. Its seen in my sig. Installed oblivion and set all antialiasing and anisotroping from the nvidia control panel to 16xQ and 16x.
all maxed at 1680x1050 in vista. MAX 30 FPS?!?! WTF! Is this what i bought a GTX for? 30 fps? Mind you my CPU is still stock. Could it be the problem?

thats about right for Oblivion as its a real system killer, id say 30fps is good for having 16xQA etc... on.

LOL - I think you were expecting too much! 1680x1050 with 16xAA in Oblivion? You kwayzeee.

Aye. 30fps is actually very good for those settings/resolution.
now you just need to read my Oblivion thread, load a few texture mods etc and really grind your performance down

tbh you don't need 16xAA. if you look at any screenies i've posted in the 1280x1024 screenie thread or my own, you'll see they have no AA @ 1280x960.
Oblivion is'nt a jaggy game.
of course now i've just ordered a 8800GTX and Dell 2407 I can too can whack some details/AA

bets that that is the reason for the fps?

16XQ are you mad?
Use normal 16AA, it's coverage sample and it's more than good enough. Christ I never use more than 8x and I game at a lower res than u.

16xQAA

no wonder your getting 30fps...

Zefan · 28 May 2007 at 17:14

Hmm it's a long shot but I think it might be your stupid amount of AA.

KNiVES · 28 May 2007 at 17:24

Think you need to come back down from ho-ha land mate! 30fps is fine, especially with that stupid amount of AA.

Yarkanat · 28 May 2007 at 21:38

haha

i see. I reduced it and it runs smooth 70 fps +

Thanks OcUK

Ps. Whats the difference between 16xQ and normal 16x?

Zefan · 28 May 2007 at 21:40

Yet another triumph for OcUK trouble team! Remember, we're alpha.

8800ultra SLI is the bare minimum you need for those kind of settings in Oblivion - time to upgrade

Yarkanat · 29 May 2007 at 06:01

Nah, when the g92 comes out, I´ll sell the GTX so I can run 16XQ In all todays games lol

Oblivion doesnt look as good as much it sucks my gpu. Bad code

Hopefully Crysis will be like farcry. It ran like a dream all high on my ex rig. (9800pro, 3200+)

you could try using "streamline" and "optimizer" found in moose's thread. you might be able to run it that high.

Different algorithms. 16xQ is expensive and high quality.

Normal 16 is actually 'Coverage Sample Antialiasing' - a lot less expensive, slightly less quality. More practical.
