Poor Performance

[rededge]

In places, abysmal FPS-

OBStutterRemover has capped FPS to 30 anyway, but in towns FPS crawls to 10-12FPS sometimes. FPS is OK indoors, somewhere around 15-18 in open spaces as a rule- but just playable.

So, should I reduce the amount of texture mods installed? I was hoping since I got this video card with more VRAM that I would be OK, but it seems not.

 

I have the latest version of OBSE and OBGE installed, and I'm running Streamline with Mem Purging only (set to 5).

 

.ini file has only had int/ext cell buffer and preload size limit increased.

 

Any advice welcome here, as nothing I seem to try makes a difference. I know all systems are different, but I just think it should be doing better performance wise?

 

I have used BOSS to sort LO.

 

Thanks & Regards!!

So, should I reduce the amount of texture mods installed? I was hoping since I got this video card with more VRAM that I would be OK, but it seems not.

 

Yes, especially RAEVWD. Keep upgrading your system for the next few years and Oblivion's capabilities will not change. It is an old game that simply cannot take advantage of today's technologies in hardware and drivers.

What hardware do you have in your system, and what background processes are running? (the stuff in the system tray)

TBH, I try to keep everything to the minimum, I haven't culled any system processes- the OS (Win 7 x64) is as default. As mentioned, i7 920 (not o/c, so 2.66Ghz) and 6Gb RAM and 2Gb HD6950. I did try Gamebooster not so long ago, but I didn't see anything dramatic, I suppose it all adds up though...

 

Only Microsoft Security Essentials icon "down below", but I think that's fairly good on resources.

 

I shall have to try, as Hickory mentioned, cutting out a few things like RAEVWD. I love the Crysis DoF shader too, I suspect that kicks FPS into touch as well. I was hoping for a "your load order is rubbish" type answer which would (potentially!!) miraculously solve things :ermm:

 

Cheers

I run QTP3R, RAEVWD, and some of Ampols' textures as well..... without a problem. I get better framerates than you, and my system isn't quite as robust as yours. I do not use OBGE though..... might try eliminating that first, and see what happens. Edited April 23, 2011 by HeyYou

Thanks Hickory and HeyYou for your replies.

I have simply knocked off RAEVWD and gained 5 FPS instantly. I am now in the Better Cities Waterfront District, which is I understand renowned for poor FPS anyway, and getting 20FPS; this is hardly "good" performance, but is playable.I have a lot of texture mods installed, QTP3R being the main one, then stuff like Enhanced Vegetation and Better / Improved this-that-and-the-other. Plus Detailed Terrain as well. ":smile:"

I have disabled all shader effects apart from OBGE Liquid Water, but now that it supports DoF shaders too..well,I'll have to experiment.

 

In conclusion, then- you can't have it all no matter how good your system is; it is a case of deciding which effects you really like and then discarding other (lesser?) stuff. I think I suffer Kid-In-A-Candy-Shop Syndrome when it comes to mods- just cannot leave well alone.

 

Sometimes, I think I enjoy messing about with mods, and looking at what's available more than playing the game!!!

I think obge liquid water is a FPS killer. When I installed it on my system, fps dropped to half, or less, so it may be causing your low fps. Not sure though, my system is quite old, but you don't lose anything for trying.
