Oblivion
Just a note:
With the “Chuck” patch in place, you can run AA and HDR simultainiously, but if you have a machine like we built for my friend, with everything turned on, shadows, reflections and the ini file tweaked your frame rate will drop from 20fps to about 16fps, so I would suggest waiting until the official patch from ATI comes out.
We’re also waiting for the first official patch from the programers over at Bethesda.
There are a bunch of mods out, including one that gets rid of the womens bras when you take their clothes off, but I’m told that the overall effect needs work.
The only mod I’m currently running is Oscuro’s Oblivion Overhaul, but there are several hundred listed over at the Oblivion Mod Wiki!.
In the meantime I’m running an untweaked version of Win xp pro, an AMD 4800 with 2 gig of Kingstone ram, an ATI x1900xtx video card and a 200gig sata hd.
I have to remember to turn off my apache web server and practically everything else to keep it from stuttering.
BTW: The 15k Raptors seem to make a difference.
I guess I need a faster box.
