GPU low frequency -> low fps in Oblivion

Hi there,

as the title says I have a strange problem with Oblivion. I own a FX8350 with a RX580/8GB graphics card. Usually that is enough to play everything maxed out. But not Oblivion. Getting out of the sewers I have ~15-25 fps. The reason for this seems to be that the GPU stays at 300-450MHz and not even then is working at 100% - mostly its 40-50%. I already tried everything i can imagine: 4GB patch, Streamline, uninstalling the Unofficial Oblivion Patch, installing Low Poly Grass, making changes to the oblivion.ini, reinstalling the (most recent) display driver and DX9, trying to force a higher frequency in the driver and so on. But nothing changes.

I have several mods installed and it seems REAVWD has - not unexpected - the most influence. But actually I don't think that this mod should have any influence at all on my machine, given that my CPU usually more or less idles at 10-15%.

Anyone here has a similiar problem?

regards

P.S.: Just tried a bit more, reinstalled the game on a SSD and entered the first dungeon. First it was the same as before, after entering the GPU frequency got to its normal state and i had 60 fps. Being outside again, it stayed at max frequency, but the utilization dropped to a mere 20%. As a result the fps dropped too. Thats very strange...

Oblivion is poorly equipped to take advantage of modern tech. You likely won't get much better performance. However, Streamline is now not recommended. The preferred setup for stability and performance is Oblivion Stutter Remover with heap replacement and Oblivion Reloaded (now on its own site) for memory management. You can turn off any other features of OR that you don't want.
