    Terrible performance with 8800 GTS

    I'm a little confused here, some people are saying get a new PSU, and some are saying get a new intel processor, but as some may be aware, i only have a socket AM2, and i'm not about to buy a new motherboard and create a whole new mess of problems. I could, however, buy the new AMD phenom...

    Terrible performance with 8800 GTS

    Just an update, someone said it could be from my 667 mhz ram so if anyone knows something about that, don't hesitate to post because i will check back every so often.

    Terrible performance with 8800 GTS

    I'm going out tomorrow to see if i can buy this . If it works, it works. If not, then i needed a new PSU anyway and i will buy one more 120 mm fan for the case to keep things cool.

    Terrible performance with 8800 GTS

    As far as i know, my processor should work perfectly with oblivion as it is above recommended... Maybe it's an overheating issue or something, or maybe i screwed something over while editing the configuration file. I only followed what oblivion tweaking guide told me to and checked it over...

    Terrible performance with 8800 GTS

    At least i'm only 1000 points or so away from the guy's score who ran oblivion on 1900 x 1200 with the 8xAA and 16xAF on max, and i would like to know if buying a new power supply would put me closer to 9000 or if it will have an effect at all. According to this score though, you can all agree...

    Well, here's the GPU-Z screenshot... Here's a link to the 3dmark diag page, hope it works for you guys.

    I am only forcing AA and AF in nvidia control panel for Oblivion so i don't think it would affect this but i will let it be program controlled and see what happens.

    Terrible performance with 8800 GTS

    My system tested 6643 on 3dmark 06 which is appropriate based on how it plays oblivion. Why it's this low, i have no idea. Could someone try and explain this to me? Also, my framerate during the cpu test was either 0 or 1, whatever that means.

    Terrible performance with 8800 GTS

    Ok, i just ran oblivion with 1600 x 1050 with 4xAA and 16xAF with everything high and HDR on and i went into bravil during daytime, only to have the framerate plummet to 7... It never went above 20 in that town until i turned actor fade,object,and item fades to 0 on the slider (lowest setting)...

    Terrible performance with 8800 GTS

    Okay, i'm going to try and end this right now. I'm going to download a free 3dmark06 and see what rating i get. If it's anywhere near 9000, then i know everything is fine, and the problem somehow lays in oblivion.

    Terrible performance with 8800 GTS

    I doubt that, the source engine doesn't (shouldn't) take a lot to run and as far as i know, everyone i've asked about this gets around 80 frames on TF2 on my resolution and more importantly, a smooth framerate in oblivion. I've been disappointed with the performance of some games which don't...

    Terrible performance with 8800 GTS

    Yes it came with the case and it is very generic. Deer or something like that, but again, i don't understand what that has to do with anything. My friend had a crap PSU and he upgraded and it didn't do anything for him.

    PSU and Video card relations

    I need someone to clear something up; how heavily can your power supply influence your video card or the performance of your computer if only the Amperes on the 12V rail aren't enough? This is directly related to my video card topic but i need the advice of the people who know PSU's. You can...

    Terrible performance with 8800 GTS

    Before we start, i will outline the fixes i have tried for my problem. These include: -Reinstalling newest 196 drivers(officially and with driver cleaner) -Frames to render ahead fix -Older drivers -Bunch of other nonsense. -Asked the people on the nVidia forums (useless) Now that...
