dasgman Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 So recently I've installed Oblivion and no matter what settings (from lowest to highest, even changing screen reso and between windowed and full) Oblivion keeps giving me an fps drop and runs at about 5 fps. I tried updating the game and deleting the Oblivion.ini file, even reinstalling the game yet I still get a great drop of fps. My PC specs are: Q6600 2.40 GHz3GB RAMwith Radeon X1950 XT series Video card I'm pretty sure I have a good enough rig to run the game also. Can anyone help me with this problem? I can play Fallout 3 on high without problems, so why not this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezdimona Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 shut off all programs running in the background to start with and then you can refer to this also http://www.tweakguides.com/Oblivion_1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasgman Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Thanks for the help but none of that was really helpful, still facing terrible drops in fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegodot2 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I've been having the exact same problem. it's just come out of nowhere because up until a month ago it worked perfectly. Has anyone else had this problem and solved it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezdimona Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 added any new mods recently if so a list of them and their load order might shed some light on your problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasgman Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 No mods what so ever, games completely cleaned off not even official content, just patched the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Did you update your video drivers? If so, try rolling them back to the earlier version. Sometimes newer drivers actually make things worse instead of better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roquefort Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 This might be obvious but have you tried running in windowed mode and calling up the task manager to see what, if any, other processes might be hogging the CPU/memory? NB Process Explorer gives more detailed info than the inbuilt task manager, and is free from... http://download.cnet.com/Process-Explorer/...4-10223605.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosisab Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 If you have onboard sound try disabling sound and music at the Oblivion.ini for testing purpose. If FPS goes up for a meaningful amount, you'll know the source of troubles. Try the sound drivers and good luck (from my own experience only a good discrete sound card will really resolve the issue).
