My current PC runs Oblivion just fine with mostly maxed settings, 1680x1050 (native res), 2xaa and 8xaf. I'd like to run Fallout 3 using these same settings. If Fallout 3 runs just as well then I won't have to upgrade the 8800gt to a gtx 260. Actually I've heard a few rumors that Fallout 3 is even better optimized than Oblivion.

So, how does the performance of these 2 compare? Think I need to upgrade the 8800gt yet?
 
So far, I've been playing nearly identical settings between Oblivion and Fallout 3 and getting the same results, so I would say your 8800GT should be absolutely fine for 1680x1050. I play at 1920x1200 with mostly high settings.

What are your pc specs?
 
FWIW, my 8800GT plays the game beautifully at 1680x1050 on High w/ 4xaa and 8xaf.
 
Intel E8400@3.6
2GB GSkill ram at 1000
EVGA 8800GT SSC

Runs like a dream.
 
It seems to me like Fallout 3 is running even better than Oblivion for me...it has no skipping or stuttering really and I'm getting a smooth 60fps capped at max settings.
