worm82075 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I just installed my new video card: KFA2 Geforce 8800 GS 1Gb(512 onboard) DDR2 Wow I mean just wow. Settings fully maxed and I mean all of them all up with all the extras at 1440x900/large textures and not a bit of lag. I can't believe I got this card from Newegg for only fifty bucks plus shipping. Can anyone tell me what console command I use to see only my framerate. Curious to know what I'm pulling. Edit: only getting between 11-17 FPS but hey before thats all I could get on low to med at 640x480 Edit2: reduced res to 1280x720, turned off bloom and grass and got an acceptable 21-28 FPS. I am happy with that and if I'm lucky I'll be able to run FO3 on med. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FRAPS does a good job at showing framrates. And you can take screenshots and vids without turning off your anti liaising. Check out FRAPS, it's really cool.

MrCooper2006 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 console type - TDT to see FPS and 11fps is more than enuff for Oblivion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thacrudd Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Good one man, glad you're stoked. I went from an ATI 9600SE to an 8800 GTS and I, too, was shocked at the difference. Just love it. You might even be able to get TQP running on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worm82075 Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 Ive never had a problem playing Oblivion at 11 fps but making high end videos requires as high an FPS as I can get. QTP for sure but probably only for playing and making screenies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksnake89 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I want a higher end graphics card T_T. I can only play at 800x600 with large textures but I need to turn the grass all the way off. Doesn't bother me much though cause I don't lose bandit bodies like that anymore. Unfortunately my main comps in the shop so I haven't been able to play Oblivion for like 3 weeks. My backup comp crashes trying to play the sims 2 for longer than an hour so I'm not even going to attempt to put OB on this beast. Although it does run Dawn Of War at maxed setting w/o lag so I'm happy about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
