My rig feels a little underpowered...

The one thing that bugged me was, I would be walking in a city at 60fps (which is what it's maxed at, at least in the debug menu) and I turn the corner and it drops to 27-30fps (used to be 18-22fps with the messed up INI), while isn't too bad considering it's an RPG it still bugs me. The thing is, I don't think it the gpu that is at fault, as I reduced resolution, turned down shadows, and turned off HDR and I was still getting the exact performance looking down the road.
 
i only have a gts and i get 60 most of the time...only when i walk outside..and say jump down a cliff so all the grass and trees come up at once..does it boggle...yours seems to be a driver problem..or issue with the game...the majority of the time i average like 60 except for the sudden distant views
 
Yeah with the new drivers i get 10000+ in 3d mark btw beefcake what are your system specs? for some reason i cant see it in your sig? just curious
 
Ok guys i need your help, atm my system is feeling weaker than it did a month ago. In oblivion with all settings maxed im getting 30fps or lower at 1680 x 1050, im currently using forceware 158.45 beta, but i'm planning on updating to the latest soon. Ive expirenced low fps in Lord of the Rings online and in Vanguard saga of heros, so much so that i dropped both games...is this vista? with my setup the only things i can think to do would be to replace my crappy ram with HZ's and get vista 64 both of which im doing later this month. Any ideas what is wrong?

plain and simple...stop looking at porn my good man
 
I run Oblivion on max on 1600x1200 with HDR and 16x AF and no AA (don't really need it on 1600x1200) and depending on the city I usually get around 28-35 fps in the demanding areas. Some cities, when I look down a long road with lots of buildings, I get as low as 18 fps. I turned the resolution down and got the same exact fps so I not quit sure what to think. However that doesn't mean the whole game runs slow, most of the time I'm maxed out at 60fps and usually stay above 40fps most of the time. Certain parts of cities are the most demanding.

Although I also have my ini file tweaked to load more cells, and some memory based tweaks, so if your running on the default ini you may be getting different performance.

Technically you can't use AA & HDR at once in oblivion. :rolleyes:
