FPS drops started the fight... But I WON!

Hi everyone,

 

I've been struggling/fighting my way threw performance guides and tweaks (I don't even know how many I've tried anymore), to have a more stable framerate (or at least less hiccup/slowdown), without luck... That, before today...

 

First, and foremost, my game is HEAVILY modded... But, not to graphicly intense mods... Just, a lot of mods!

My PC:

Intel Core2Duo 3.1ghz

4gb ram (667, low speed!)

Windows 7 64bit (so, no ram loss)

Sound Blaster Audigy 4 (I know, it's old, but it works!)

 

Before, I tried most everything... I tried to change the resolution, all the options... Some FPS... 5 more or less... (But, ugly!)

OSR (Oblivion Slutter Remover) and Streamline 3.1 (patch) didn't seem to help much either... Until today, when I though of forcing an higher fps rate!

 

Now, I get 30-40 FPS (forced (I'll explain after)) inside, outside, people, with a little cpu/gfx hiccup like when loading a new cell ranged... What I did (I didn't see it elsewhere):

 

In OSR, I gave it a MaxFPS of 39, LowFPS of 30...

In Steamline, MaxFPS of 36, LowFPS of 33 (read on a website that streamline should have 3 higher and 3 lesser FPS (don't know why but it works!)

 

And now, my game works flawlessly (compared to the 20-30FPS it did before with lots of "slow" play...

My main testing ground is exiting the sewers, at the start... When I looked at the distant land, over the water, it dropped to 20 (lowest of OSR/Streamline). Now, lowest 30 and no lag, no speed lost, no gfx loss, nothing... (Well, maybe a sneeze but it happends in every game I played!)

 

My second testing ground was the IC Market... Ouch... There, I usually got 20FPS cause of the many people/different things... And, it was so awful that it lagged in some places or when too many NPC's where in my line of sight... Now,even though it sneezes a little more, no discernible lag (yippi).

 

I know Skyrim is coming out, but I can say that I finally won the fight against Oblivion!

Mouhouhahahahahahahahah!!! Ahum... Sorry!

 

List of the mods that (probably) have helped!

Optimised_Distant_Land_MAX

Operation Optimization v1.1.1b

Quiet_Feet_MAX_20

Unofficial_Oblivion_Patch_v3_2_0 + sup (you gotta love the effort they put in!)

Streamline 3.1 (duh!)

Oblivion Stutter Remover

 

(And the ones that surely didn't help, right?)

HGEC Body 1.21.omod

Harvest[Containers]

 

 

All in all, about 99 ESP/ESM...

 

 

Anyway, I play a little more and if I have something new, I'll add it up!

P.S. Ok, after some more testing it might slow down just a little... Back to the drawing boards! :P
