Hey all

can anyone post some screenshots of the game on different detail settings?

also for the record my system is

pentium 4 3.2ghz
1gig ram
256mb radeon 9600xt

from the system requirements of the game i figure i could play on medium settings.......well can i?

You should be able to play on the highest fine:

My system:
Athlon XP 2800 +
1 gig ram
256 g-force 6600 GT

Plays it perfectly on the highest settings, my only annoyance is that you cant use Anti-antilising at the same time as HDR lighting

WTF I have better system than you, and I can't play on highest without anti alising, somethings wrong here. By "highest," you meen averyting on highest, or some stuff like shadows or something on lower specs?

Well, the pentium may have more mhz but athlons are generally faster. I used to have a p4 3.0 and i upgraded to an athlon 3800+ 2 ghz. MUCH FASTER

Yeah it runs perfectly, everything on the highest settings, although I turned 'Self shadows' Off because it looks like theyve all got beards Although when I first start it up it goes slow for like 15 secs, then becomes smooth.

i have an athlon 64 3700+ with 1 gig of ram and a geforce 6600gt 128mb video card, and im running on medium settings with neither antialisinsng or that lighting thing, at 1024 x 768 but out in the wilderness it gets kind of chuggy.

and then i see mr Khaan up there talking about how hes running fine with high settings and i start to think: why cant i?

maybe its cuas hes got s 256 as opposed to a 128???

just a guess

so. any hance of some screenies then??

Theres no way you are playing it 100% smooth on highest with a 6600. I use a 9800 and play it about medium. My brothers 6800 GT runs near highest. The 9600XT does NOT support HDR.

I can play it highest graphics. But with heavy lag
Inside with people: 15 FPS
Inside alone: 22
Inside battle: 10-20 FPS
Outside alone: 15 FPS
Outside with people/animalsL 10 FPS
Outside with battle: Lag hits and averaging at 12 FPS

Thats with max graphics. About medium graphics, what I run it on its
Inside with people: 22-25 FPS
Inside alone: 30 FPS
Inside battle: 25 FPS
Ouside alone: 24-30 FPS
Outside with NPCs: 25 FPS
Outside with battle: 17-25 FPS
Inside Oblivion: All avereaged at about 25 FPS

I know its a bit detailed. But thats about what you should get. A 9600xt equals near the 9800.

thanks man, im happy with med settings

im getting the game pretty soon

Medium settings looks great. You wont be disappointed. And anyway, oblivion isnt made to have everyone running it max graphics. There are tweaks you can run to make it so much better.

Tweak 1: Defragmenting. It does make noticable differences in speed. Go to Start\Programs\Acessories\System Tools\Disk Defragmenter

Defragment all drives, it takes awhile and the performance boost depends on how fragmented the drive was.

Tweak 2: Preloading tweak. Go to...
(Users name) Documents\My games\Oblivion\Oblivion.ini

Change these lines to this

[OPENMP]
iThreads=20
iOpenMPLevel=20

Also change this line to what I listed

iPreloadSizeLimit=1000000000


Go on official forums and you can find even more tweaks. This makes the game load everything instead of threadloading, and it makes a huge impact on performance.

PS These tweaks are completely harmless, defragmenting should be done on every computer. And threadloading shouldnt be anything tough on your system. Dont worry.

Yeah sure here's some screens:
I'm not sure if you can see all of them on my chorrol hosted bit.

My cool robe,

Mountains

Horse riding

Imperial city

Me

Me again

I'll stop there

Thanks for the tips, maybe I can run all in max now.
I got:
amd athlon 64 3500+
1 gig ram
and Dual 128 GeForce 6600 GT
This should be nearly good enough

Edit: maybe it's that it's 128 GeForce 6600 GT that slows it down alittle, but since I have two of em it should do it

HA! I just noticed that comps. are way better than the 360 at max settings because everything looks all smooth when it's far away on my screen but on yours it looks detailed even from a distance

Of corse PC rules every console

Yeah Tv's resolution is much, much, MUCH lower too

Even console games are better on PC, for example, many n64 roms have better quality on pc than on n64
Very sorry for goin offtopic and don't posting any screens, SORRY

Here's some screenies
Sitting on horse
Many people in imperial city today
Martial Arts Kahjit
My first charracter
I run the game on max graffics w/o AA and selfshadows(selfshadows look really ugly, sort of like everybody having a beard) and I have not edited Oblivion.ini in theese picks.

If you run the game on all the max graffics, you should try to edit the Oblivion.ini in: my documents/my games/oblivion/
Here you can set all the setings even higher, I specially recomend to find:
bUseWaterReflectionsMisc=0
bUseWaterReflectionsStatics=0
bUseWaterReflectionsTrees=0
bUseWaterReflectionsActors=0

And turn them into:
bUseWaterReflectionsMisc=1
bUseWaterReflectionsStatics=1
bUseWaterReflectionsTrees=1
bUseWaterReflectionsActors=1

now the game reflects trees people, stones, items and plants in the water.
This you can not add in the game properties.

WARNING: take backup of Oblivion.ini before editing.

OH Now I see how you run it max graphics, you have two 6600 GTs. Now it makes a lot more sense

How do you guys take screen shots? I use fraps but photobucket resizes them? How do you guys do it?

Just open them in paint and then save them as .jpg files



Edit: jpg files take one tenth of the place that bmp files take

Thanks all for the help....those screenies are on med settings right??

Well it does look a bit more detailed on the computer but i personally prefer consoles overall they are just easier for me and I prefer them and I love oblivion on xbox360

my setup:
Athlon64 3200+
GeForce 6600 256MB
2GB DDR400

screenshot:
Just a nice looking scene

Goblin Shaman (keep in mind, the mspaint writing on there was originally directed to my Final Fantasy XI forum )

WOW nice helm!!! it looks cool ill have to find my self it if i can.
i might have to start doing the main quest since i havnt even closed the first gate yet

Sry, their in max w/o AA and self shadows, if they look bad it's becaus I had to change them to jpg to make them fit on the site i'm hosting my images on.


Of corse I like console games best when played on a console, then you wont have theese small bugs you have on the computer. But I prefer games that is for both comp. and cons. played on a PC.

you might remember it from morrowind
it's the Helm of Oreyn Bearclaw
i wont say how to get it in the forums due to the spoiler... i guess you could PM me, but its not hard to get

That´s shaddowmere, I love that horse almost as much as killing every NPC that insults me and hgetting away with it every time

Here have a zombie.

You put out a zombie in the IC? cool

He just summoned it. In the same way I could summon an army of Daedra in the city and title the picture Daedra Invasion or something like that.

Yeah, well your daedric army has cooties.

Excuse me for not beeing an english native, but what exactly are cooties? From the way you said it I supose it's a bad thing right?

It's quite deadly.

same ere i tryed pressing print screen but it dont come up on paint...??

That doesn't work with some games. I suggest you read the other posts in this thread. :]

I'm playing on Ultra High Graphic with pretty much everythink at the highest without any probs - I'm currently making a movie via FRAPS "Inside Oblivion" where I've simply filmed from when I entered till I came out of Oblivion for the first time...

Specs: AMD 2.4GHz, 2GB RAM and GeForce 7800GTX

See if I can conjure some screens asap

Aren´t we getting a tad off topic here? Title of this thread says " Screenshots plz"....In my opinion there have been a lot of posts now without screenies!!!

Please go ahead and discuss things but also don´t forget to post a screenshots! it´s rather nice for those who have not got the game or are unable to play it!

You didnt put any screenshots in that post either. Keep in mind people want to comment and that some people have xbox and cant put any screenshots.

By the sounds of things, she doesn't even have the game yet. Also, Minque is a Global Moderator, which essentially means that she has free rain over these forums.

EDIT: Sorry, no screenshots from me, you would only feel bad for me to see how crappy Oblivion looks on my computer.

This is near lowest graphics, medium textures, 1024x768, 2x AA.

Most of my lag is processor, Athlon XP 2500+ can't run much. My RAM, and video card would run it fine. It suggested high textures for me, but 640x480!?
Why play the game if you can't even see it

Still using the akviri katana?
