Rabbit1251 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Dezdimona, Madeintheshade, I wish to thank you for your recommendations. I will treasure them and they have helped me to make a judgement. I now believe that it is time to close this topic down. Thank you once again for your help. Yours,The Rabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezdimona Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 We are preparing to replace our aging computers with Windows 7 machines when the new operating system becomes available. I am a loyal fan of nVidia, but I understand that there are some difficulties when running TES Oblivion with an nVidia card. Therefore I would appreciate some input as to which card I should choose for my new machine. The choices are: 1GB ATI Radeon HD 4650 [DVI, HDMI, VGA] 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 [DVI, HDMI, VGA] 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 [2 DVI, HDMI and VGA adapters] 1GB ATI Radeon HD 4850 [2 DVI, HDMI and VGA adapters] Mine will also be running Fallout 3 as well as Fallout New Vegas when it becomes available. Any suggestions will be gladly accepted and be most appreciated. Thank you.

madeintheshade Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 The Radeon 4800 series is great. I use a 4830 to run Oblivion maxed out at 1280x1024(limited by older monitor), with HDR and 8xAA(forced via Catalyst Control Center). It runs very smooth. I also played through Batman: Arkham Asylum on max settings without a single hiccup. Also, a 4850 has a higher stock clock speed and 160 more stream processing units than my card(800 vs 640).
