Crowsnose,
Try renaming the oblivion.ini file in My Documents\ My Games\ Oblivion\Oblivion.ini.
Let the game make a new ini for the game. If you have tweaked your ini you will have to re-tweak. I'm running a Q9650 with all cores on and have no problems. Just thought I'd throw this idea up at...
Mine was making a high pitch squeal when I first got the cards. I was using Furmark and RivaTuner to set the overclocks. But now they are silent. Not sure but maybe it was the caps squealing?? Worried me a bit at first, but all is good now.
I did have the matching card in my cart at newegg and was about to make payment and my phone rang..... after answering phone I tried making payment and couldn't.. someone bought it!!! the last one!!! So I threw down for this. Girl friend will love it. :D

Well after a few weeks of playing with this card I've settled it in at 1.35v 1000:1150. Runs nicely in game. No overheating problems. I like this card so much that yesterday I bought another one...:D. Partly due to a new build with a UD3P, OCZ Blades and a PC-P&C 860. I don't want to risk...
I played Oblivion for quite some time (770+ hours) before getting my hands on Fallout3. Fallout3 wore out for me much quicker than Oblivion even with many added mods and DLC's.
I'm probably a bit bias towards Oblivion because my Girl friend is involved with working on many mods for the game and...
