7900GT vs Elder Scrolls 4:Oblivion

This is for a heads up on how serious either the 7900GT is for taming Elder Scrolls or to see how serious next-gen gaming is getting taming the 7900GT

Can the 7900GT handle settings maxed out on a what seems to be DX9.0d??? *because of the tear drop graphics*

 

simple answer - No it can't.

Not even SLI'd 7900GTX can keep the game smooth 100% of the time.

 

the game is lacking optimisations.. that and becoz Bethesda presets the cpu usage and thread limits, means that it'll suck even more.

...if only they had of used a dynamic thread system...

 

lol just go to these forums and you'll see all the problems people are having.

Umm yes it can my 6800GT can play it medium at 30 FPS and the 7900GT owns the hell outta it. I dont know where you get 2 7900GTX's cant.

 

i think Xaser04 was talking about maxed out everythings.

 

Unless your trying to run it at like 2500x1600 then I was too.

 

I even struggle a little with this game, particularly outdoors, fps can drop as low as 30 on max settings + 16HQAF.

 

as low as 30? How is that struggling?

 

I am running it flat out 1600x1200 with hdr 6.3cat smooth as a babys bum having no issues at all in fact i was not aware there was till just now reading this thread very nice looking game is this a nv or ati problem or both??:nerd:

 

I rest my case

 

With a few tweaks, you can get it near max settings. I was getting 35-40fps outdoor but now I get 40-55fps

 

Can you share the tweaks with me?

 

I'd have to agree with Xaser04, I'm running at maximum settings with AA disabled @ 1280x1024 resolution on a 7800GTX and Oblivion runs smooth without any issues.
So from my experience so far, 2 GTXs in SLI should be smooth as butter.

 

share the tweaks with us please

 

Yeah I want da tweaks fur shur

 

Wow... post those tweaks please.

 

Friend of mine runs it at 1280x1024 everything max HDR on no AA, on a 7900GT and its smooth as anything.

Myself, running same settings as phrozin. Everything full wack 1600x1200, HDR on but obviously no AA as a result and the game runs great. Damn fine looking for the most part, especially when u r in the middle of the forrests!

 

Yeah I was kinda disappointed with the performance my 6800GT put out. I heard others getting better performance with a 6600GT but who knows....

 

I can play @1280x1024 just fine. Just disabled self-shadows, grass shadows and applied the tweak that makes the grass scarcer.
If some people can't play right on a 7900GT, they just wasted money on that card
