PrettyMurky Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 My friend recently bought a new 2.4ghz 8 core i7 with 16gb 1600mhz ram, ati radeon hd 6970, 2gb ram, and a solid state hard drive. He is under the belief that it can take whatever Oblivion can throw at it. I propose we prove him wrong. Obviously I'm thinking Quarls Texture Pack 3, Open Better Cities, Unique Landscapes, OBGE, and the visible when distants; but does anyone have any other suggestions? Anything that shows off what modded Oblivion can do, whilst being as system intensive as possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El`derina Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=OblivionMods.Detail&id=6152 might want to edit the mod and removed the simplified processing while rat swarms attack... thats sure to lag him up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonger Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Obviously I'm thinking Quarls Texture Pack 3be certain to use the full version of QTP3 --- not one of the lite variants and look for ear-candy mods too (sound can sap vid performance too) then install the full FCOM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice. Although deliberately making a mod less effiecient would be 'cheating' a bit. I want to see if his computer can hack the most impressive mods, rather than just try and slow it down by any means. The waves of rats will be useful, to get as many actors in memory as possible. If I can get them to follow me to Open better Chorrol, with extended population; and maybe change them to imps, so they're casting spells; thats gotta give it something to work with! be certain to use the full version of QTP3 --- not one of the lite variants and look for ear-candy mods too (sound can sap vid performance too) then install the full FCOMHadn't thought of sound, that'll be worth going for. I might add FCOM; if I can be bothered with the installing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonger Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) I might add FCOM; if I can be bothered with the installing.FCOM for the script overload possibilities - besides all the new monsters from MMM Edited September 5, 2011 by Fonger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El`derina Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) Ha! Nice. Although deliberately making a mod less effiecient would be 'cheating' a bit. But but but! I am the mod author,.. im giving you 'permission' :)wait,.. i have a better solution (quickly uploads rigged version in place of the true version) muhahahahaha! ... i forget why I ever made that mod, to be honest Edited September 5, 2011 by El`derina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkInMKUK Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) Quick and dirty install of FCOM - google the Fcom Superpack - also adds COBL to the basic FCOM.Don't forget all the "bigger texture" mods other than QTP3 - reskinned creatures and characters.And add in some of the mods which add extra npcs wholesale to the roads and cities Edited September 5, 2011 by MarkInMKUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrettyMurky Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 Thanks for all the suggestions. I should be going to see him tomorrow. I'll try and keep a record of what effects things have. I'll make sure I take some screenshots; hopefully, with the low fps, listed in the corner!

DiemCarpe Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 lol all you need to do is go to advanced search, hit search. Then make it so that the mods are organized largest first. Have fun taking down his pc, which is actually nearly indestructible to most mods. But like all armor, it can be taken down with multiple men with sharp swords.
