TES IV: Oblivion (Pentium M 730, Geforce Go 6600, 2 GB DDR2-533)

I suggest watching this in HIGH QUALITY.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on my laptop. I just wanted to make a little demo of Oblivion. Please do note that I added several graphic enhancing mods to make Oblivion look more photorealistic and prettier. These mods can be found at www.tesnexus.com. These mods may potentially reduce the performance of the game, especially if you're using a video card below the minimum requirements (i.e. Geforce 5 series and older, Radeon 9xxx series and older).

Sorry for the bad video and audio quality. My camera is not good for shooting video.

Laptop specs:
1.6 Ghz Pentium M 730
2 GB DDR2-533 RAM
Geforce Go 6600 256 MB
15.4" WSXGA+ 1680x1050 matte LCD
2.5" 160 GB 5400 rpm IDE hard drive

I've put my laptop out of commission when it comes to gaming. And regarding the VRAM thing, I was reply to his comment which stated he had a Geforce Go 6600, same as mine, but with 64 MB of RAM. He removed it, unfortunately. The reason why, I don't know. Anyway, I'm talking about comparisons between same GPU models but with different configs. I'm getting tired of all the crap I hear that people think more VRAM = more performance without any regard for the type of memory being used.

BTW, your last suggestion of OCing = big no-no. It's already clear that I'm using a laptop. You want me to fry my GPU? Thanks, but no thanks. I'm not that desperate for performance. For gaming, 70% of the time is spent on the Xbox 360 and PS3 while the 30% is spent on my relatively decent Athlon X2 7750 BE + Radeon HD 4770 equipped PC which I usually use for online games and the occasional PC exclusive or games I'd like to play on the PC (mostly RTS and RTT titles).

how can you have 265 mb video card when i have the same card but have 128 mb, can you tell me how?

[fire1202]

Not all Geforce Go 6600s are the same. Some have 128 MB while some have 256 MB. Mine just happens to be the 256 MB version. They both use the same memory type though, DDR.

[arjunkie12]

so that means that there where 2 versions 6600s and i have the ****** 128 mb version and there are not the same :(

[fire1202]

The GPU's RAM doesn't matter anyway unless you play at high resolution. It just happens to be that my laptop's resolution is 1680x1050 so the additional VRAM helps. Once you make a small bump in resolution and notice a big hit in FPS, it's the VRAM being the bottleneck. DMC4 for me. Jumping from 1024x640 to 1152x667 cuts my FPS nearly half. Despite the small jump, in resolution, the FPS drop was relatively big.

i can play on High Settings?

Windows XP, SP2

Intel Pentium 4 3,20 Ghz HT

2GB DDR2-667mhz

Geforce 7600GS 256mb

HDD 80GB

Depending on your visual settings, I'm somewhat doubtful your VRAM amount is being a real limitation. If VRAM really was such a limitation, the 320 MB 8800GTS i had in my last desktop wouldn't have ran Crysis at high settings at 1440 x 900 while maintaining decent FPS like it did because there is alot more data in Crysis being shoved through the GPU than what Oblivion is doing, BY FAR. Also your memory speed might be holding your 6600 back a bit, maybe try OCing it a bit?

[mobius1aic]

You have to remember that the ROPs are having to deal with a big load too, it's not always a VRAM issue. Going from let's say 1280 x 800 resolution (1,024,000 pixels) to 1440 x 900 (1,296,000 pixels) doesn't seem like much, but it's a 30% jump in resolution increase for the ROPs to render. If they were already pretty much bogged down at the lower resolution, they are going to suffer more the higher you go, whether you have the VRAM or not.

I even have a 64MB Nvidia Geforce go 6600 in my laptop ^^

[Siasio]

I have gf6600 256 GDDR2:)

[PlayStationMidget]

man im really amazed to see this running with such a low spec pc and it runs so well xD

[arjunkie12]

who can help me with something

if i play oblivion it wil lag sometimes but i play medium settings what can i do to play it smooth just like the video, and i have the same specs just like fire1202
