witchunter180 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Hey all! I need some help regarding my really BAD graphics in Oblivion. I have a relatively new PC (only a year old). Here's the specs:Orating System: Windows Vista Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Model: Inspiron 1525 BIOS: Phoenix ROM BIOS PLUS Version 1.10 A13 Processor: Intel® Core2 Duo CPU T5800 @ 2.00GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.0GHz Memory: 3574MB RAMGPU info:Card name: Mobile Intel® 965 Express Chipset Family Manufacturer: Intel Corporation Chip type: Mobile Intel® 965 Express Chipset Family Display Memory: 358 MB Dedicated Memory: 0 MB Shared Memory: 358 MB Current Mode: 1280 x 800 (32 bit) (60Hz) I believe the problem is the GPU; as its not Nvidia or ATR, I think it wont recognize it and thus not use it (358 MB should be enough, I would think). It is a laptop, but specs-wise, it should run it great. Maybe I just need to tweak it or maybe it doesn't recognize the software. Any thoughts?

MonsterHunterMaster Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Have you set the ingame graphics to high or middle yet?Cuz i play Oblivion on a laptop to and the default graphics settings are on low.Start oblivion, go to settings, video and then you can change some graphic settings.

MikeHibs Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 While it may be a relatively new computer. It's not a very good one.It's also a laptop, which are not very good for gaming, unless you get a REALLY expensive one. And as for the GPU, it doesn't have one. it is using integrated graphics, which is why it says it is using the Intel Chipset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwaxalot Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 The 965 Chipset can be used, with minimally acceptable results. Here's a link: http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.ph...&p=13928838 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witchunter180 Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 That's kinda what I was afraid of. I had been able to fine-tune the graphics settings to get decent results but its still not great. I'll try the method from the Bethsoft forums. Thx guys!

m4xxxxxxxxx Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Maybe try Oldblivion And of course go here especially IMO:Tweak Guides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witchunter180 Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 I had been using that guide in the tweaking process (has some great tips). While my pc can generate great visuals, my biggest concern is improving FPS. I tried looking into Oldblivion and got a virus hit o_O no damaged done...

m4xxxxxxxxx Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 False positive no doubt. Try here aswell: The Oblivion performance project Plain Bump maps I found the bump map helped a lot for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
