I'm not sure what is causing the problem, but whenever I get into combat or hurt my fps drops from normal down to like 2-5.
I think it's when the motion blur or whatever tries to come into effect. the mod's I'm running (not in order)

Thanks

well rather than just posting a random list of mods, how about a Load Order as well :hehe:
I would strongly doubt the Load Order could cause any real problems with fps, but it is always a good thing to have as reference for anyone who has the ability to help you.

Since this is also about FPS, We need system specs as well.

EDIT:
Another thing you should take a look at, is http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1064823-tesivpositive-performance-optimization-info/ floating around very close to your post. Tomlong's website has just about every bit of information you need to make Oblivion run great.

Don't know how to make one.

Specs - i7 920 / 4.2ghz / 6gb ram / gtx 275 / windows 7 premium, latest updates.

I'm going over those optimization links now. It happens whenever the motion blur tries to come on

Your load order is a disaster. Run BOSS on it. I have to go, but I think a lot of the problems are obvious to many others...


Edit: http://sites.google.com/site/oblivionpoinfo/finishinstall/loadorder

Which version of Quarls are you using? It's highly recommended to use on of the Redimized versions.
Also, are you sure Streamline is working correctly? If set up wrong it can do more harm than good.
With your rig and relatively few mods, of which none are big overhauls, you should get decent FPS...Maybe chech that you have at least 20% room left on the hard drive and do a defrag.

I'm using the QTP 3 / uh normal one I guess.
I've got a lot of HDD space left and it's defragged. And I'm not sure if Redimized is working or not.

Could be some processes on the PC. You have the latest video drivers? Disable AV before running Oblivion?

When it slows down do you see your HD light blinking alot?

No there was no excessive HD use. I've got latest drivers.

I've just uninstaleld the game, spent enough time already trying to get to work. Thanks for the help all.

Well good luck to you. Maybe next time will be the charm

After going through those links, IWR and Natural Vegetation should be removed and/or supplanted.

What type of sound card do you have..Onboard sound cards can sometimes cause this problem slowdown during combat, and even older sounds cards has well. Try using quiet feet max mod to see if help any.
