fps outside?

[dlandis72]

Hey, I just recieved Oblivion last night and I had a chance to play it for about 20 minutes. I won't be able to play it for the next few days, but I am dying to know how my PC will handle it when I reach the outdoor settings. In the tunnels, I am getting between 25 and 40 fps. How much should I expect that to drop when i get outside?

My specs are:
Athlon X2 4400+
1024 MB RAM
6800 GS 256 MB PCI-Express

Well to give you a hint: I get anwhere from 60-150fps indoors, and outdoors I get 15-35fps. Though I have noticed that being in a city, the outdoor FPS is much more enjoyable at 35+.

thats strange, i get less fps indoors, and i get more outdoors, but this only appied from the indoor starting place, and outdoor in the open. outdoor in cities i get low fps

 

[dlandis72]

well, dumb dude, I hope your experience isn't an indication of my performance because I might need to lower the settings significantly if that's the case.

I'm the same as Dumb Dude.

There are lots of video options you can adjust for the outdoors. Adjusting the grass/tree draw distance would probably help, though if you set them too low the pop-up effect is pretty annoying.

Wait, wait, wait.. You can lower the settings that much? I don't think i'll have problems with my shitty graphics card!

 

[Dumb Dude]

I noticed that if I completely disable the grass (you get used to it after a while) you gain quite a lot of frames. I get 40+ outdoors when I do that.

yeah, turning off ALL the grass period is a good way to give you a BIG performance boost. Trees and buildings in the distance dont really lag you up that much.

I play 1024x768, 2xAA, Bloom and all sliders medium. No "lag" inside or outside. I might get lower FPS (havn't tested) outside but it runs just as good as it does inside for me.

No performance issues what so ever with this game.
