Unerismy Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I was just wondering on some poeple's views of how they think they're computer will run oblivion. I think that mine will run it preety good, ill prolly have to dumb down the graphics a little bit, but im ordering a new 256 mb graphic card just for this game. My comp currently runs 2 gb of ram, and has a 256 mb graphic card, but im upgrading to even a better one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latholas Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 with my computer , i look at those screenshots and pray ill be able to put those graphics only a little down to play it :P its a good computer but when i read "top of the line systems now should be able to run oblivion fine"i lose a bit of faith :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragorn Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 One thing is for certain. My computer will not run it any where near the power needed to perform the game to its peak performance. Now this is due to a couple of factors: my rather slow processor (3.0 or 3.2, not sure which) and my pathetic excuse for a graphics card. For the time being, it looks like I'll be playing it on the XBOX 360 until I get a computer upgrade or even a better computer in general. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 If I perform a format of my harddrives and run a clean insall of Windows I have no doubt my computer will be able to run Oblivion at peak settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I'm not getting my hopes up... I've spent hundreds on this thing in the last year so I'm hoping for at least mid graphics with decent FPS! AMD 64 3000+1.5GB RAMNVidia GeForce 6800 GT (256MB) It's a pretty good system, and if Gary Noonan's old computer has no problems running it then with any luck... As Dark0ne says, Windows system sucking will probably factor into things a bit. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveme4whoiam Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I'm building a new PC at the end of January with Oblivion in mind (well actually Battlefield 2, but Oblivion sort of nudges into my thoughts every so often, as I'm sure you all know ;)) I'm on a £500 budget, but I'm hoping that it'll at least be able to do something close to high on Oblivion. I doubt it'll do maximum everything, but it should be able to do enough. Oh yeah, the specs. What do you think? Good enough or no? :mellow: mobo Abit AN8 NForce4 S939 DDR400 PCI-E GbE Lan USB2/1394 5.1ch Audio 4 x SATA Raidcpu AMD Athlon 64 3000 32/64Bit CPU S939 "Venice" 90nm Retail inc Heat Sink Fan & 3 Years Warrantygpu 256MB Sapphire PCI-E ATI X800GTO GDDR3 PCI-E VGA TV DVI Retailram 1Gb (2x512Mb) Corsair, DDR400/PC3200,non-ECC, 184 DIMM, unbuffered, CL2.5, Lifetime Warrantycase CoolerMaster Centurion 5 Silver Case Black Body (Silver Trimmings) w/o PSUPSU 480W XClio-SCF aPFC Super Silent (21Db) 12cm Fan 8/20/24 ATX2/2.01 12vEPS + SATA+PCI-E Hi-EndHDD 120Gb SATA300 Western Digital WD1200JS Caviar SE (7200rpm,8Mb) - NCQ Everything else for a PC I've scrounged, by the way. I may change the RAM, not sure. Other than that, that's what I'm making unless people point out glaring flaws, so I hope it'll be good enough.

Unerismy Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 That sounds like a preety good computer, it should do just fne running oblivion. I have the same exact processor as switch does 2, lol. I was looking into the next line of Radeon graphic cards, and they are just to rich for my taste, really good, but i cant afford it at the moment, lol.

Dilvish Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 You made a typo on the hard drive size. Should be 120 GB I think. Looks like a nice system. I'm waiting for the official Oblivion system requirements before I buy anything. I think Oblivion will run on my current computer if I turn down the settings enough. Maybe it will be like the old days when I first installed Morrowind. Save every 5 mins and hope it doesn't crash in the middle of a fight. :ohmy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveme4whoiam Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 When I got Morrowind I was convinced I wouldn't be able to run it, but low and behold... I couldn't. But with the details turned down (curse you Geforce 5200, the worst damn GPU ever made!) it could run. I'd like to avoid that with Oblivion, and hopefully that'll be fine. Obviously if the Oblivion specs come out before I build I'll check it against them (then add a third onto everything, because you know what devs are like with minimum specs). Cheers for the catch Dilvish, a 20Gb hard drive wouldn't be much use to me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaiv Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I'll have to upgrade for it. Right now I'd have to dumb it down a quite a bit to get it running smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
