Yeah I have tried just about everything ... :roll: ... I hope they sort it out in a patch.

What do you recon to my textures ?
They don't really impact on fps but the game looks loads better ...

Yeah spooted the links earlier :wink:

Downloaded them ready, ill try them out tomorrow :) Your tweak looks pretty cool, cant wait to see the improvement it makes! Thats the only thing taking away from Oblivions beauty!

Oh, that and the fact, that where the textures are poor, the trees are also sprites :) I happened to notice cause i turned the details all the way down, and then even the trees in the foreground are sprits :)

I guess it would be very very difficult to render all those trees as full polygonal models.

Nah, it wouldn't be hard, but it would be absolute murder on framrates... ;)

Hi Guys ...
I finally got my game running without all the jumps and stutters ... 8)
Without lowering the quality... apart from the Grass Density ... and in some instances I was able to improve the image quality over and above the defaults ... :D
It took me a couple of hours of testing each variable ... but it was worth it in the end ... :lol:

Here is the Tweak Guide I used and the best Tweak Guide site out there ...
http://www.tweakguides.com/Oblivion_1.html

There is info in there about Hyperthreading/Dual Core ... :wink:

I have a 6800GT. I found by turning everything OFF and everything else to their lowest setting, the game ran smoothly....... for the most part. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

i'm gonna go play Far Cry... at least that stays above 15fps. :lol:

Nice link Paddy!

I really like that site. I didn;t know that ATI released a beta driver with Oblivion optimizations. HDR + AA now possible! Sweet!

Paddy, what tweaks did you find that made a substantial difference in terms of performance. I will try a lot of these out tonight (as well as the new driver), but I still would like to hear what you found that "works"

Careful with this tweak, as it can cause your character to get stuck in certain situations, and suddenly start jumping non-stop. It's hard to get out of it, and it's pretty annoying.

I'm not really sure/ can't rember ... I just went through them one by each time checking to see if it made much difference ... by the end it was a lot better ... 8) ... also I imagine it would be different for you as you have an ATI card.

What tweak are you talking about ?
