That's totally weird. Must be the programming of the game then. :shock:

I just read this on IGN.com ... :cry:

Bethesda recently announced that the PC version of ES4 cannot have both HDR and AA, but it looked quite nice with just HDR. Load times are faster on the PC, but the visuals are about equal. The 360 version of Oblivion does both HDR and AA

WTF, why is that. Did they just cut it out for the PC version. :evil:
!@#$%^&* I can't stand that attitude, it's just a stupid marketing trick.
The pc version is cool, but if you buy a 360 you get better graphics.
So come on stupid consumers, all buy a 360. !@#%^&* :evil: :x

From the previews that I have read, the consensus is that the PC version looks better than the 360. This is, of course, on a very high end PC... but nothing better than a lot of people have here.

I guess I will see the PC version tomorrow (if I can find it!)

Royal, are you running with 84.21? I was playing for several hours last night at 1920x1200 with HDR on and didn't notice hardly any lag except at nighttime in an area with lots of flora. Needless to say, this game can be played well in high res with lots of goodies.

That's good to hear, blueyedsoul. :)

Can't wait till Friday... :(

Hello.

Oblivion appears in Germany on March 24th. Still three long days. :wink:

Yes, I'm using 84.21. I read a large thread over at oblivion boards saying ati is getting higher performance. This guy said that with his 7900GTX he's getting 30fps on average at 1600 x 1200 and can go a bit lower at certain times which is my case (sometimes it'll go 15fps). Dunno what specifically I have set that is causing the fps loss but hopefully the drivers will clear it up. If not, then Ill turn down some stuff and see if I can get better framerates.

I just encountered something weird. When I was playing, my computer froze and many of the oblivion textures turned blue. I had to force restart. Perhaps a bug. I doubt it's overheating since I have very good air cooling and I can play any other game for hours without this happening.

Dude that sucks. I can imagine how bummed you must be to have prepared and waited for the game and then have these bugs. What are you using to measure fps? I have the same gpu so I'd like to be able to compare and see if we can figure out where the problem is.

I'm using FRAPS. Can you do some screenies of your video options?
