15 fps on decent PC.graphics,INI or tweaks not helping

[keeperxiii]

Hello there,

 

I recently installed the GOTY of Oblivion to try out the game with mods since the game seems to be so much better with them.

 

And here's my problem, I'm getting 20-25 fps in towns and even 15 fps when I'm in the woods.

 

Here's my specs, which should be more than enough to run Oblivion:

 

Windows 7 64 bit

Intel Dual Core 2.16 Ghz

Nvidia Geforce 9300m GS 256 MB

4gb RAM (2x2gb)

and plenty of HD space

275.33 nvidia drivers

 

and all other games run fine.

 

Here are my active mods:

 

Oblivion main

Shivering Isles

Knights of the nine

OBSE and plugins to paly the mods

oblivion script optimization

unnoficial shivering isles patch

unnoficial oficial mods patch

Unique Landscapes compilation (latest version and all the files it depends on)

Better Cities (latest version and all the files it depends on like the Resources and Permanent resources files)

Unique landscapes and better cities compatibility patch

Mart's Monster Mod (latest version and all the files it depends on)

Deadly Reflex (latest version and all the files it depends on, including NIF patch)

Darnified UI

Natural Environments

Guard Overhaul

 

Here's what I've tried:

 

Setting all video settings to low

setting performance mode in nvidia control panel

forcing vsync on and off in the nvidia control panel

Defragmenting the hard drive

downloading and using the unnoficial patches and the stuttering fix

replacing the shaders so that the game properly recognizes my graphic card since I've heard that the game doesn't recognize newer cards as it should

running the game with and without a modded Oblivion.INI (My modded .INI has some tweaks to turn of some effects and use multiple threads)

running the game with and without some mods (I don't want to turn them all off since I'm afraid it might cause problems, and all of this seems to have no effect on the fps)

 

--------------------------------------------------

 

All of this made a difference of exactly 0.00 fps on my game.

 

The most I can do is set the resolution to 800x600 or 1024x768 which gives me some 15+ fps but that's far from a fix (plus, it strains the eyes)

 

Can anyone please help me? I don't know what else I can do to get this god awful engine running smoothly.

 

Kudos(seriously) to anyone who can help me

You may not have a lot of mods installed, but you do have some big FPS-killers there...

 

Unique Landscapes - you may have to pick-and-choose. The esps that add big forests are the biggest offenders.

Better Cities - Especially if you use the "open" version.

MMM - AI eats up a lot of processor power, and MMM adds a lot of NPCs and creatures.

Natural Environments - You may want to drop Natural Vegetation.

 

You may be able to get by with one, maybe two of the above, but in combination they will put a hefty load on your computer.

 

Keep in mind that your specs barely scrape by for Oblivion, so you will have to be very selective about what you install. And stay away from big texture replacers like QTP3, they are made for burlier machines.

 

To get the best performance you can, try the following;

 

4gb Patch - raises Ob's RAM cap

Streamline - made to help borderline machines run Ob

Add a ReadyBoost cache - it's as simple as inserting a flash drive or SD card, opening it's properties, selecting the ReadyBoost tab, and selecting "dedicate this device to ReadyBoost", but this can help tremendously.

You can gain a lot from ini tweaks also, but that's a ton more info... check out the TweakGuides

You won't get much better than that with those mods on that CPU.
