Hi, all... A couple of weeks ago I upgraded my graphics card from NVidia geForce 6200 to geForce 6800 (Golden Sample = 512MB). I was getting very low FPSs on Oblivion. Now, despite my drivers being definitely updated, defragging, using the Tweakguides.com guide re. the ini settings and running the various video options such as trees distance etc. at mid range (shadows at zero) and resolution at 800/600, I am still getting only around 8 to 10 FPSs on an average, i.e. when riding along roads and in the country in general. In the towns i still hit only around 10.
I have 1G RAM and an Athlon 2400. I suspect the 2400 might be bottlenecking the graphics card but it isn't really THAT low to do that so much, is it? I would really appreciate some worthwhile advice re. this very frustrating problem. Thank you very much. ... By the way, I did think of using cooltips and/or Riva Tuner to overclock my card but decided not to because, 1. It whacks the warranty and 2. I don't think I should have to go that far, since I am really a novice at that sort of thing. The card should perform well enough, in my opinion.
