Turning down your view distance is a sure fire way to increase performance, however the lower your view distance is the more difficult it is to spot landmarks you're searching for. You can decrease things like the distance which characters, items and other objects will appear, giving you better performance, but also putting you at a disadvantage when you're looking for a particular item or when someone is about to attack you.
With Oblivion it's not all about performance and dealing with slightly blurred textures and jagged edges to maintain higher frame rates, the total experience of the game is very dependent on having a powerful system with a fast GPU.
Given the low frame rates that we're talking about already, enabling AA simply didn't make any sense as you will see from the performance results on the coming pages. We would much rather increase detail settings than turn on AA in Oblivion. Setting Expectations While we've been used to running high end SLI setups at 3MP resolutions and still getting reasonable frame rates in games, the same is not true for Oblivion.

It is clearly not a significant digit. Stop writing nonsense. Neiter ATI nor nVidia drivers need to be uninstalled for a very long time now. Aint that right green boy? That sounds about right….
Very poor example. Much different than XP. Then you uninstall all drivers, Catalyst, and ATI tools to be sure. If not lucky,. Then install drivers and Catalyst. Most of the time this would work and then I could reapply any tweaks in Catalyst.
After several frustrating reboots it would finally work and all the installs were up to date. By that time all was working well. Then it started all over again about four weeks later. Yeah, I miss those days.
Now all I do is play games. Everything works correctly and no hotfixes needed. Because nvidia has more money to buy developers support to get their optimizations instantly. They very rarely give me any troubles. Actually, they do make game-specific optimizations, such as manipulating textures or replacing in-game shaders with hopefully equivalent shaders that execute faster on the given hardware.
I hope they fix whatever it is that they broke for Sacred 2. I was having a real good time playing that with the Seraphim, then I downloaded and installed 9. I really doubt they are making optimizations that are specific to a certain title. So they benchmark some game that everybody has heard of and report the improvements there. Perhaps, single-card performance with current batch of GPUs are at their perk with driver tweaks?
Whenever someone says that they switched to Nvidia because ATI drivers crash, I always love to send them this link.
More than any other bug for crashing Vista from any source. Always remember, both ATI and Nvidia have very good drivers. Neither is much better than the other in terms of stability for most users unless you consider the above linked story. That evidence only points to Nvidia drivers sucking well above ATI. So ShadowTiger most likely your problems are specific to you.
I'm not trying to diss you or anything but something else was wrong with your system other than ATI drivers being at fault. Feb 5, 9, 0 AFAIK, you're supposed to install the patch on top of Ati display drivers, not as a replacement for the drivers. Originally posted by: nitromullet 1.
I think the Chuck patch is only meant for Cat 6. Get the latest Cats from ATI, and try again. If you swap different settings a lot, make a profile for Oblivion in the CCC Just choose the settings you want, go to the profile manager, select all CCC settings, name the profile, and you're done. Then, whenever you want to play a certain game just open the CCC and select the profile.
You can even set the profile to launch the game if you want it to. THat's a good possibility. I don't know how old the CD is.
I got the card last month but who knows how long it's been packaged. Is there an easy way to tell which version of Catalyst I have? I am really new to all things ATI; former Nvidia fanboy here. Look in the CCC, one of the screens has that info. Oct 7, 4, 0 0. You must log in or register to reply here.
