Hi.

Just wondering if I'll be able to run the game at some of the lower screenshot qualities we've seen. My system is fine, but i just dont know how well my graphics card will be able to run it with only 128mb DDR3.

P4 3.2 Ghz
1024 MB RAM
6600 GT OC 128MB

PS: I really like this site, in the past few months the qaulity of disccusions on the official forums has degraded to the point where I barely go there anymore. Glad to see some mature disccussions taking place

[I Mosh to Mates of State]

I know I should upgrade, but I can't so-I'm hoping for low settings, as long as it's playable. I'll upgrade eventually but that doesn't have to stop me from starting the game now...does it?

2.6 ghz Intel Processor
768 mb of Ram
and the real kicker...a Geforce MX440 (AGP8x)

I'm not even sure if the card is supported, but anyone think I might be able to manage on very low-to complete minimum specs and get a decent framerate?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I doubt the game will run at all. I have never even heard of that series of graphics card.

Your card should give you no trouble at all. Remember, on the list it supports "as low as" the 6200.

EDIT: PS: You're totaly right about this site, it is great!

ok i dont know if mine will run

144 GB of free space

Intel ® Pentium ® 4 CPU 2.80 GHz

504 Mb RAM

HP Pavilion 061

PC109A-ABA A630N

Direct X 9.0c

I know my computer will run it well, just at what settings?

Pentium D 3.0ghz dual core
2gb pc3200 ram (I think)
evga 7800 gt

at 1280x1024 what kind of graphical settings could i have?

[1234king]

can somebody tell me if my comp will run oblivion

Good ones.

Okay. Your RAM might need a bit of upgrading, but I would doubt it. As for your graphics card, I really have no clue what all of those letters and numbers mean! What kind of memory do you have on it? If it is 128 Mb or higher, then you should be alright.

That site should be able to say if you can run it and if not, what you need.

Just click on the drop down list ----Select a Product---- and go down till you see The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion

Hit scan, and click YES to the software download.(It is safe I'm pretty sure, downloaded it multiple times and nothing terrible has happened to my comp >.>. Nothing new picked up by norton anti virus.

It'll scan and give you a tab for min requirements, and a tap for reccomended.

[1234king]

thanx for that website i only need to upgrade my viedo card

[The Wolf]

Just my luck.... Posted the questions just before closing of the thread. So now I'm gonna repeat it.

I've got 1 GB System RAM, ATI 9800 Pro and a 2,8 Ghz processor. Do you think it's enough?

[Frugal]

That should be enough. Your video card is on the supported chipsets, and 1 gig of ram and 2.0 ghz is required.

if you wanna be sure though

=) Its probably the easiest way to find if you comp works with it.

[Zebadee]

Will mine run the game ok at lower settings with a decent framerate?

Pentium 4 3.2Ghz Processor
ATI RADEON X600 256mb
1GB RAM

[1234king]

ok my comp needs some work. i need a new video card, Video HW transform and lightning and a vertex shader version 2.o does anyone know how much money this will cost

well the very lowest I would go (and only if you can't afford better) would be a nvidia 6200...

NewEgg 6200's start at $54

Find out what type of GPU interface your motherboard supports.

[Dragostas]

How well will I run
My comp:
Opteron 148 (2.5 Ghz)
1.26gb ram
X800GTO 256MB

Im getting Ob of course and was wondering if my GPU temp being at 44-54 and cpu at 29-39 and my MB is 38-45, are any of those temp ok? I heard they were alright but wouldnt wanna get OB and burn up my comp. Im using EVEREST to see my temps I heard they werent that accurate.

I have a x1900 XTX ATI radeon 512mb

AMD Anthlon 64 X2 DUAL 4200+ 2200MHz, equivalent to 4.2GHz

and a 550w Antec SLI PSU

People on a hardware forum might be able to give you a quicker and more reliable reply, but your GPU temp is very cool (If thats full load) Mine runs around 57-59 on full load, and I'm happy.
