I am just wondering about this. You guys know my specs, if not, they are...

Nvidia Geforce 6800 256MB

(by the way, how do u unlock the extra pipes?)

Pentium D 3.0GHZ Dual-Core

1GB DDR2 667MHZ

This system isn't bad, so I am wondering why my game runs really slow and kind of bad? When oblivion auto-sets my video settings, it gives me hdr, 1024x768, all high settings. But the only way I can play is 800x600, no hdr, and it still chops! Do you think this is a spyware issue maybe? My hardware is fine! Is there a way to get more out of my dual-core processor maybe? I had horrible spyware issues a while back and I never reformatted my pc, but it seems to be gone, should I format my pc? You think that'll do the trick? Thanks for help!
 
This game is brutal on even hi-end systems. I play 1600x1200, HDR, highest settings and when Im out running around outside in the grass I get about 50-60 FPS, during some scenes it will drop all the way down to 30 FPS!

It's just the game bro, HDR looks amazing, but itf your getting choppy frame rates I would take HDR off and choose 2x AA.

Run fraps so you can tell us exactly what fps your getting.

Below is my system...

Should I unlock the 4 extra pipelines in my geforce 6800? Make it a geforce 6800GT? That would give me a HUGE boost in fps! Is the risk high?
 
I don't think it will give you a large enough boost to warrant the risk of toasting the card.
 
What can it be? My system can run it fine according to specs, and I see people getting great fps with systems with an ati 9800 pro and 2.6ghz.. i dont get it..

There are a lot of people out there that are full of crap. They will brag on forums saying they get 60fps out doors with max settings on a radeon 9500 because it somehow makes them feel better about themselves... The game is highly taxing even on the most high end pcs (talking about dual core 2.8ghz opterons and 7900GTX 512s, the game will still dip to below 20 at times with such a setup)

However there are a few tweaks that might help you.

Read the elder scrolls forum.
 
Yeah and unlocking pipes on my video card will help a lot in doing this!
 
A month back I had huge spyware problems, i never formatted since then. Everything seems to be gone, but I can never know that. So do you think I should format? reinstall direct x and everything? Is there a way to unlock 4 more pipelines in a geforce 6800 pci version? I used riva tuner and nothing came up, it didnt find any pipelines! This sucks, you think the reformat will help for performance in my game? It shouldn't be that laggy!
 
do the normal stuff before reformatting.

Newest Video Drivers
Newest Motherboard Drivers
Newest Sound Cards Drivers
Newest DirectX 9

also might try killing any ant-virus or spyware programs before playing. They can be a system hog if they're messing around in the background while you're trying to play. Just reset your computer after you're done playing so they get reset.

hope this helps.
 
I have newest video drivers. I dont know how to get my motherboard drivers, but do you think that haas to do with it? Because maybe my processor isnt running properly? Idk. Ill try these!
