TRIPLEXH18 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I'm thinking about buying a xfx ati radeon 4890 graphics card for my laptop my current specs are DellProcessor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T6600 2.20GHzRAM: 4:00 GB64-bit Operating SystemDirectX 11 DeviceName:Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset FamilyDAC Type:Internal1695 MB Currently Oblivion runs fine but even with default settings and grass toggled off everything seems to run smooth however fights get pretty choppy and when a fight occurs or if im inside a cave the fps usually drops to 15-25 and im usually forced to toggle off bright lite to get good speed. I'm wondering though if I were to buy the graphics card would I be able to run at max settings? Or would my processor hold me back? and if you know of any equal or better graphics cards at a cheaper price then please let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFact Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 You said 'laptop'. Game set; it's hard to upgrade intergrated graphic chipset if not impossible. Of course, you cannot attach such graphic card(which uses slots like PCI-E) on laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeldarb Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 You could spend some money on more RAM and dedicate more of it for your graphics card useage, if you can adjust the RAM allocation. You might look into using a program like Streamline for Oblivion, since most of the larger battles occur in dungeons or towns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
