Not sure if it's been posted but seems to have worked for several ppl on there. Ppl should check it out if you have low-mid end systems. I would backup your ini file first.

Change this is the ini file in the save games in "my documents"

[OPENMP]
iThreads=20
iOpenMPLevel=20

iPreloadSizeLimit=1000000000

 

[StevenYoo]

gotta try this when i gets home

 

[Czar]

mark for when i get the game

Didn't seem like it had much of an effect for me. Thanks though!

Looking through the forums the OP linked too, seems like Intel will get the boost and AMD processors won't.

 

[CalvinHobbes]

Cool! I'm going to try this the next time I play.

Considering most here have AMD it might not do many good. But I am sure there are some Intel ppl here(somewhere).

this worked great on my brother's rig:

64 3000+
9600XT
512MB PC3200

the game lagged on low quality at 640 x 480! now it runs quite nicely. might jack up the settings a bit

Cool maybe it ain't just Intel systems. Maybe you really have to have alot of lag to notice it? Maybe someone with a mid/high end system, try upping the gfx to something that was stuggish before and try using this to see if it helps? Maybe it's just a hit or miss tweak.

Unfortunately it didn't do a thing for me.

 

[platinumike]

im having trouble finding this file, it is in the "my documents" folder? I then click on my games, I click on oblivion and i see my gamesaves but no .ini file.

 

[stnicralisk]

my documents -> my games -> oblivion

Have you launched the title?

 

[platinumike]

sweeet. Gave me an extra 8 fps.

 

[m21s]

nothing extra here.

BUMMER

FX-55
BFG 6800gt OC

Although, I'm running pretty good without it so

my pc chokes at oblivion. i'm playin ultra high, hdr on, 1280x1024. i get like ~20 fps outside i even turned off hdr, and it was still around the same.

opteron 165 @ 2.4ghz, 2gb ram, 7800gt :/

If you turn off the grass you will see an incredible FPS jump up!

eh, its only grass.

 

[Whitecloak]

how do you check FPS in Oblivion?

 

[Erik in sac]

fraps works good.

 

[Greka]

You may be able to run it moderately well.

In the system in my sig, I run at 1024x768 with all settings maxed out and get very smooth framerates. It may drop a bit depending on the scenario, but it is very smooth most of the time.

Bring up the console, and type in 'tdt'.

Wow this helped me out a ton. Runs a lot smoother now.

That's vey interesting. I have the same, but with a gig less RAM and my opty only running at ~2.1ghz and I have no prob running Oblivion at 1600x1200 with max settings. Gets a little choppy if I have a big fight (6+ NPCs), but otherwise very smooth.

 

[StevenYoo]

this fix worked great on my system:

3000+
6600GT AGP
1GB of PC3200
SATA hard drive

I'm running it with conservative settings, 1024x768 with bloom. i'm getting around 60fps.

I didn't notice it do much... if anything, when I logged in the first time after doing this I thought it was slower...
