Ah well i could have been worse, i could have written it all h4x0r :). It least my bad spelling makes a little sense ;) LOL.... there's nothing worse that a spelling mistake while you're typing in 1337speak. :oops: Firstly you look like an absolute n00b, and secondly if your spelling is really bad you may as well have encrypted your sentence with a 1024-bit key... coz nobody is going to be able to translate it. :P gR337z 70 4|_|_ //y f3LL0// 13375p34|<3rZ 0u7 7|-|3R3 r34d1||G 7|-|15.

Theres no way its impossible. I just pulled off the craziest wide screen action on Oblvion today. I had it stretched across two monitors (2560 by 1024). Amazingly enough Oblivion actually supports this! (So does World of Warcraft). To get this functional I realy need to get monitors with a slimmer edge, or try to get a third monitor in the mix so the screen isn't split right in the middle. Strangly enough oblivion still ran at 25-35 FPS... The screen shots don't show this as when I took them the computer chunked up and lost at least 10FPS by the time the screen shot was done. (They were 8 megabyte BMPs). So here's the screens if anyones currious: ImageCabin (Working) Widescreen One http://www.imagecabin.com/files/2006/05/20...a85e714fc99.jpg Widescreen Two http://www.imagecabin.com/files/2006/05/20...9c57e5722e3.jpg Widescreen Three http://www.imagecabin.com/files/2006/05/20...289f563294f.jpg ImageHosting (Acting Funny) Widescreen One http://show.imagehosting.us/show/1373689/0..._-1_1373689.jpg Widescreen Two http://show.imagehosting.us/show/1373692/0..._-1_1373692.jpg Widescreen Three http://show.imagehosting.us/show/1373695/0..._-1_1373695.jpg FYI these are in JPG format, medium quality. And, yeah you'll need to scroll to see all of the screenshot My computer specs are: Asus A8N-SLI Corsair 512 MB x 2 Dual Syncronized Ram AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Asus Nvidia 7600 GT 256 DDR3 As you can see my specs are relatively low and it was very playable even with the entire town guard chasing me. |

Not so sure about the dual-widescreen playability (although well done for doing it anyway!), however my system plays Oblivion nicely at 1680 x 1050 I'd even argue that 20fps is fine for Oblivion, but the more the merrier. I have view distance, far off lands & trees etc set to 100% and HDR on, but lots of other effects down to half-way or less, and i think the game looks stunning. |

I agree, an X1900XT will handle 1680 no problem. In fact, I plan on running that resolution on my X1800XT as soon as I get my WS monitor.... right now I'm playing it at 1280*1024, generally high to very-high settings, HDR, etc. very smooth, even outdoors. When AT said "there isn't a single GPU or pair of GPUs today that will run Oblivion at 1600 x 1200 with everything turned on smoothly," first, that's 1,920,000 pixels as opposed to the 1,764,000 of 1680*1050. Secondly, I think by "everything turned on" they mean 6X Adaptive AA, 16X HQ AF, ALL ingame settings to max (which no-one should enable no matter their configuration), etc. Secondly by "smooth" they may mean >60 fps all the time which you don't need in this game. I think they're even referring specifically to that one Oblivion gate in the forest that just brings everything to its knees. :) This game looks great and I can't wait to see it in widescreen!!! :D |

The ATI cards handle this game much better from what I hear. I have an EVGA 7900GTX and I get like 15-30fps with the slider settings only halfway on most of them and at 1680x1050 I only get 15-30fps. |

The newest ATI cards absolutly crush Nvidia's in the outdoor area's. |

ATI has always been better at HDR. |
