Laggy Oblivion on new laptop :<

[tawnylee]

I had been running Oblivion fine on a laptop old as Jesus for about 3 years, then I got a brand new vaio which SystemRequirementsLab deems optimal to play Oblivion with and it lags and spazzes all over the place D:

 

 

OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium

Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601

System Model VPCSB11FX

System Type x64-based PC

Processor Intel® Core i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz, 2301 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)

BIOS Version/Date INSYDE R1031H4, 4/25/2011

AMD Radeon HD 6470M

Adapter RAM 512.00 MB (536,870,912 bytes)

 

I don't have any mods added, I was planning to, but if vanilla spazzes like that ... >>

 

And I've tried running it at all resolutions including my monitors as per someone else's suggestion

 

Thanks in advance :3

Vanilla is lagging? How? Doing what?

 

Also, make sure you have the latest drivers for your videocard.

512MB Vram is not optimal, but for vanilla it should do. Also, the extra cores of that i5 will be mostly sittling by doing nothing while one of them does most of the work. That's Oblivion's age showing. But also there, it should be able to run the vanilla game without to much trouble. Does the GPU get recognised?

Check this site for ways to optimize what you have. http://www.tweakguides.com/ :thumbsup:

 

First optimize the system, then the video card and last the game.
