People with outdated Graphics cards..., YOUR SOLUTION IS HERE! Options

I was just surfing on the web and I found this:


Oldblivion

At first I was pretty sure it was too good to be true, but then I had my friend (with an FX 5500) try it out, and he now gets 16-28 FPS in forests and no lag.

What Oldblivion does is replace sm 2.0 with sm 1.1 and it makes a BIG difference with the framerate.

The water, unfortunately, looks pretty bad with Oldblivion, but that's a small sacrifice; the other graphics look fine.


If you're not convinced, here are some screens taken on a comp with a GeForece 3 and 512 RAM:

Holy moly! Whoever did that thing sure deserves credit!

Damnit..And I bought this shiney new computer! *kicks shiney new computer out of the window*

Nah, if you have a shiny new computer, stick with that....wish I had a shiny new computer...I'm right above Oldblivion helping me and right below the good cards, I call it the 6200 "limbo".

On the site I saw that only the unstable version is available...what exactly does that mean?  Does it mean that it crashes alot or just that there are alot of bugs? 

Very interesting stuff...

Some minor bugs, but they're fixing them for another version, there were some blobs in one, I think, but not too many crashes from what I've read. It's still worth it if you have an FX card or a radeon below 9600.
