roquefort Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 What do you regard as `low' fps? A number would maybe help. In what circumstances does it happen? Outdoors/indoors? While fighting?.. etc. etc. You could really do with another Gb (at least) of RAM -- Windows will be hogging a lot of what you have ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colakid Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 well what i'm getting is 1-5 and it happens all the time when i'm inside, outside or talking with someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Is this something new or has it done this since you installed?1-5 fps is beyond slow, it would be more like turning pages in a book, looking at a still picture, then another still picture.Does it play this way all of the time or does it change to a faster speed sometimes? Which version of Oblivion do you have? And do you have a disk or is it downloaded?Do you have Shivering Isles or any of the DLCs installed?Do you have any mods? Which ones and what load order?Do you use OBMM or OBSE? Is your game patched with the latest patch?Have you tried lowering the video settings to see if it speeds up?Are you running full screen or windowed?Have you shut down any background processes?Have you scanned for viruses and Spyware?Have you cleaned your hard drive and defragmented? 1G of ram is a little low for both 64 bit and Oblivion, but you should get better than 1-5 fps even with that. You cannot 'beat' Oblivion, :whistling: When you finish the main quest there are thousands of mods to allow you to keep playing. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colakid Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 well i know about the millions of quests after the main quests but the main quests is the best part of the game. and i have the latest version of oblivion got the cd not downloaded i have obse obmm basicly everything you said there i have and did but i do have one thing planned that might fix it if its a ram problem i call it operation rip the crap outta my dads computer can take some more ram. all he ever plays is battlefield 1948 so he doesn't need 2 gigs of ram so ill see it that works out because so far nothing is working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roquefort Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 More RAM is a good move whatever. It might not solve your problem though. When I first got Oblivion I was running it on 1 gig with a Radeon X300 (yep!), and the fps, though laggy, was just acceptable at 15-20 in busy scenes. That was without body replacers, which add a lot more polys to the NPCs, and without hi-def textures (which I still don't use). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekrietns Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Due to address location priorities, your videocard, which I think has 512MB of Vram, hogs half a gig from the RAM in your system, leaving you with just 512MB for Windows and your applications, ths, in turn, will cause obstructions because Oblivion will be running in low priority and won't get the space it needs. I highly suggest getting 4 gigs total of 800MHz DDR2 ram, these days it's dirt cheap and it'll do your system a lot of good.Hope this helped.

cacophany Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 You have a 9800GT... and 1 gig of ram? ... That's pretty pointless... Definately get more RAM. 4 gig would really be the minimum to take full advantage of 9800GT. Also check the clock speed of the RAM before you start adding more to your computer. Adding different clock speeds is a bad idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
