Vagrant0 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 The question is not what the best video card is, but rather what you can afford and what will work with your current/future rig. If you're trying to improve performance, you might want to look at the tweaking guide since you can really improve performance with a few minor changes. Grass alone is hell for some of the lower end cards. I would see what tweaks you can make to the game, and try to fix that power problem before looking into getting a new card.

Eother Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Geforce is better than Radeon! So, get the best Geforce you can afford. We have a Geforce 7800 GS, and when the game autodetects, it sets graphical quality to ultrahigh. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolmatel Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 My computer and video card work fine and smooth, except for an occasional slow in parts of the Great Forest. But I was just looking for a better video card to handle the top specs for Oblivion. My budget is around 800ish. But is Geforce really better than Radeon? Or is that just opinion?

loveme4whoiam Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Im running a 7800 GT and it'll handle just about everything on max detail, except for the long wavy grass - when you stand in the middle of that it can get a touch slow. Turn the shadows on grass off though and it'll fly. Just so you have the semi-budget option :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
