AvionCore61 Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 ...with maximum settings (I hope this was the correct place to post this...) I am new to PC gaming altogether, so please bare with me. Here's a PC I ordered yesterday, and I was told by numerous people it would run Oblivion flawlessly, and actually a lot of games out now: 2.66Ghz Intel Core i5-750 8MB Cache Quad-CoreStock Intel LGA775 Heatsink and FanGIGABYTE GA-P55-UD3R(Intel P55, 2xPCI-E, 8-Ch Audio, LAN, 8xSATA2, 4xDDR3, 1394)8GB (4GBx2) PC3 12800 DDR3 1600Mhz Memory Lifetime Warranty750GB 7200RPM 32MB Cache Serial ATA300 (Samsung)22X LG Dual Layer DVD+/-RW/CDRW w/Nero1GB ATI Radeon HD4870 GDDR5 PCI-E Dual-DVI (Major Brand)Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64bitAntec Black Nine Hundred Two (6 5.25, 6 3.5 bays) 4 Fans, Front Audio/USB/eSATA650watt Antec EarthWatts EA650Onboard LAN includedOnboard Sound includedStandard 1 year parts and labor Ignore features such as the case, I copied and pasted. So I just need to know if that would run the game at max. I also plan on downloading a lot of mods for the game, but nothing to expansive, no new areas, quests, or anything like that. Just weapons, armor, spells, character appearance improvements, etc. :thanks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptbptb Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Ignore features such as the case, I copied and pasted. So I just need to know if that would run the game at max. I don't know about max (resolution?) but I expect you should get a much better fps than I do even at 1024 x 768 (I have to use 800 x 600 and my fps is pretty sucky).

Buy max I meant maximum settings such as effects, shadows, etc. I just want my game to look great, it doesn't have to be absolutely perfect, just the highest quality the game has to offer. I considered (once I obtain the computer/game :P) downloading Qarl's Texture Pack 3 to make it look better, but I wanted to know if the game could handle that and max out at 60 fps. Btw I may not be making much sense since I'm new to gaming and I'm not familiar with much of the terminology. As for the resolution, could you or someone else recommend a great monitor (not too expensive if that's possible) for my specs? Actually if someone could explain how the resolution "works" to me that would be great. I'm a complete noob at this point. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwaxalot Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 With that machine, you should be able to max out Oblivion. Even with resolution up to 1920 x 1200 on a 24" monitor. (Resolution is measured in the number of pixels on the screen ie. 1920 x 1200 = 2,304,000 pixels) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Resolution is measured in the number of pixels on the screen ie. 1920 x 1200 = 2,304,000 pixels) Alright, thanks. Could you recommend me a great monitor within the $200 price area that is at least close to that? Some speakers also if that's possible. Thanks again.

AvionCore61 Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 *UPDATE* So it turns out the site I ordered the PC from has discontinued the 2GB HD 4890 card, but they gave me the option to upgrade to a 1GB HD 5850 card for $70. I went through with it, was it a good idea? Others have said it was a great decision. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
