8800GT - Oblivion - Gigabyte Odin GT 800 Watt - FRAPS

[flamingaxe791]

I love you

[almrls]

hold on, only around 20 FPS? thats what it says in the corner

[evilpunisher]

FRAPS!! -.-

[jabcreations]

Anti-Aliasing. Look it up on Wikipedia.

[pwnagizer1]

Yeah, with a single 8600gt 256mb @ stock i get 30fps MINIMUM in this game. I got a core 2 quad @ 3.825ghz and 4gb of ddr3 on a 790i motherboard. I usually have 8800gt SLI but PALiT sucks and both of my 8800gt's fried 2 days after the warranty expired...Soon to be getting an evga 9800gtx so i can step-up to whatever comes after the 280's because they are too expensive to manufacture and will soon be replaced....that or I'm going to get a 4870X2.

You: Yes there is--

[acidheadx]

Graphics card aren't everything oblviion is a cpu hungry game

[FrosDOwnz]

It's true, I have a Pentium 4 541 Prescott w/ HT 3.2 @ 4 ghz and a eVGA 8600GT SSC @ 720/1728/882 and I'm only getting roughly 40% GPU usage in 640x480, that's about half my potential framerate. The bus bandwidth size on the 8600GT is only 128 bits though, it is a limiting factor in higher resolutions, so remember to overclock that memory.

1024x768 - 1280x1024 are reasonable resolutions for the 8600GT, with 1600x1200 limiting the framerate about 30-40% especially outdoors. 8800GT = 230% better.

[Urzu3]

why Oblivion such a heavy games? the graphic doesn't look better than Call of Duty 4

[GaribondTheFierce]

the physics and the scale of the world and all of the stats that it has to create in real time makes it take a more beefy pc.

[illmagnified]

I have the EVGA 8800Gt SuperClocked and im playing at 1680X1050 and with everything maxed out on the highest settings with HDR and Force Anti-Aliasing and im getting between 45 to 55 FPS. Why is your frame rate so low?

My System:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 OverClocked

Nvidia EVGA 8800GT SuperClocked

4GB Performance Ram

500GB Hard Drive

Dual Displays: 22" High Definition WideScreen LCD paired with a 19" HD WideScreen LCD

[illmagnified]

man u suck at Oblivion bro- when u fight the knight and the archers- you basically get owned- learn how to fight and block properly before making another annoying video showing ur awful skills in melee combat...

[TehRamones]

It's singleplayer. It so f*ckin doesn't matter how good you are.

[TheGreatH4x0r]

I know nothing about computers. Would this run well at all (don't care if it's on low or high settings) on an 8600GS?

[zakkafakka]

yeah, it should run nicely

[TheGreatH4x0r]

Really? Someone else said it wouldn't run at all.

[zakkafakka]

Take a look on this vid: watch?v=1QQNfz224Ik. This guy is running it on 8600GT and I think it's not bad at all.. Your 8600GS would have slightly less performance, but I think, you'll be able to play it at 1280x1024 + medium details. Sorry for my english :)

[TheGreatH4x0r]

Okay, thanks for the help.

[illmagnified]

It should run at a low resolution with low to medium settings, and u should be alrite.

[illmagnified]

TheGreath4x0r your name implies that you can speak 1337 a little bit and you dont know about comps and if ur 8600GS will play Oblivion? And yes it will, i played Oblivion when it first came out on my AMD Athlon FX-53 and an ATI X850XT which was fast as hell in its day with everything cranked to max at 1024X768 with no lag at all so i think your 8600GS should be able to play it fairly well at 1024X768 depending on your ram and processor spec.

[TheGreatH4x0r]

Well it was the only name I could think of. My 1337 speak is actually pretty crappy. Thanks for the help though!

[gamershell]

What kind of processor did u use?

[jabcreations]

I save the FRAPS videos during recording on D:\ while the game plays from C:\.

[4Love10]

i have a question do you have qarl textures pack 3 in this game

[jabcreations]

If it's not part of the default then no.

[Xtremefight1]

nice performance ...

[ozpreyarnold]

Without recording the video AS WELL as playing the game i'm sure that it would gain 5 to 10 FPS easy. Life sucks.

[jabcreations]

FRAPS *and* webcam versions of games will be posted. Even the webcam will have a hit on the FPS. Everything I enjoy playing works fine for me at 1024x768 with everything maxed out so I'm happy and that is what counts. :-)

[Lokabergslagen]

FRAPS eats 35-40 fps due to added load on the entire system.

[V13t5ta]

audio syncing seems to be a little off

[wizkid22]

fraps does that is really a annoyance

[nvmthen]

Why are you getting only 20-25ish FPS in foliage area? What's your CPU?

[fleetwoodsucks]

his recording too, thats power hungry

[AirPlus1]

Have you seen the test for the upcomming G92 GTS? I might get one if they will ever be stock... maybe on the 11.12.

[NoRogeR]

Power Supplies do not limit your videos cards.

You are CPU limited.

[omg5501]

lol your cahracter look nearly same as you xD

[Entropy56]

Just ordered an 8800GT at Amazon but have to wait until it is in stock. I got it specifically to play Oblivion at higher resolution than my 8600GTS.

I just started playing Oblivion and can't do a 360 view like you did at 7:25. How did you do that? I also can't steer a horse with the mouse I have to use the keypad and it isn't easy. How do you steer a horse?

[jabcreations]

What resolution are you playing at with the 8600GTS when you do a 360? The 8600s are probably the worst cards besides the 8300/8400s because it already has a high clock but only a 128-bit memory interface. I still had an ATI-All-I-Wonder 9700 Pro when I first got Oblivion, roughly 14FPS @ 800x600 but at least a 256-bit memory interface. What FPS are you getting?

[Entropy56]

I have been playing only a couple of days. I have a 4:3 19 inch monitor that is 1280x1024. I tried both 1280x1024 and 1024x768.

Along with my new card I ordered an HP W2207 22" widescreen flat panel LCD Monitor.

But my question has to do with how you rotated the view so that you could see your face. Moving the mouse moves my character so I always see his back.

[Entropy56]

Current card has 256MB.

Been playing at 1280x1024 for the last day with high settings to see the eye candy. It is definitely jerky, but in some areas where there is no grass and trees it plays surprisingly smooth(er).

My current LCD monitor is 4.5 years old and has a 25ms refresh rate which ghosts. When I decided to upgrade my monitor I knew I had to get the 8800GT card also because the higher rez monitor would make my old card suck even more. One thing leads to another...

[jabcreations]

TAB key, it is what I have set to "change view" option under controls. Not sure what the default is.

[uselessbass]

hold down center mouse button :)

[Entropy56]

Thanks for the info about "change view" but it has to do with first person vs 3rd person.

I don't have a "center mouse button" but a wheel. Clicking the wheel doesn't do anything. Tried Goggling before raising this question but did not get any answers. No biggie.

Oblivion control setup says nothing about it.

Appreciate the help.

[uselessbass]

well if you mouse buttone center wheel isnt a button to i dont know what to tell you but on mine i click the center mouse button and it switches view hold it down it will let you look around

[jaciusceed]

Wow the video and sound are not even close to being in synch.

I hate fraps.

I like to use game cam.

[omg5501]

solution is simple..at Movies tab you must set fps to 25..or 24.5 for longer videos..and for strucking sound quality you have too mute your microphone option

[evilcrow1001]

Your going to be losing a few fps by recording the vid with fraps, better of just using your cam and just having fraps show the fps in game to get an accurate fps rate.

[jabcreations]

Oh man, the compression sucks! I'm going to post a downloadable version on my website for those who would like to see it in much higher quality.

[AirPlus1]

i notice my videos improve a little in quality, when I make the vids shorter and try to use the full 100 MB from youtube.

[semplew]

Nice!

[jabcreations]

Thank you!
