Hi all,

I just bought a new computer and am getting kind of annoyed at how slow Oblivion is working for me. When I start walking or looking around, I kind of get kind of stuttering/jumping that seems to happen way too frequently. I have tried enabling the multithreaded options for blood and whatnot, and have no no real difference in performance. I can turn down the sliders in the video options and it makes no difference. I am trying to run it in Ultra High. I have Catalyst 10.10b drivers.

I have a powerful computer, and I am able to play games like Crysis in Enthusiast perfectly fine. My PC consists of the following:

Intel Quad core i7 3.2 ghz
12 GB DDR3 Crucial Memory
AMD HD 6870 1 GB DDR5 Overclocked to 965mhz core
Western Digital SATA III hard drive

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much.

Oh yea, forgot to mention that I am running at 1680x1050 only.

Post a dxdiag.
XP: Go to Start->run, type “dxdiag” and hit enter. Click the Save All Information button near the bottom right. This will save a Dxdiag.txt in C:\ by default. Then open the dxdiag.txt and copy/paste the information into your post.

VISTA/Windows 7: Go to Start->Search, type “dxdiag” and hit enter, click the Save All Information button near the bottom right. This will save a Dxdiag.txt in C:\ by default. Then open the dxdiag.txt and copy/paste the information into your post.

Also post your average FPS.

Sounds like a sound card driver (codec) problem -- to test go into the oblivion.ini and disable music (benablemusic=0) and see if the game runs better afterwards -- If it does then try installing the K-lite code pack and have it repair broken codecs as part of the install - reenable music and see if things run better still.

Thanks for the replies. Disabled sound and music and it was still stuttering like crazy. I'll get my average FPS after work. Here's a copy of my dxdiag:

Very high page file used. (Its recommended to keep it around 1000 used for Windows 7) Try booting into a clean boot and playing.

2 GB out of 22GB is a lot? My memory isn't even close to paging. Usually I use about 2.5 GB's of memory and have 10 GB's free. I can't believe any page file is being used actually. I shouldn't ever see a page fault haha.

Here are my mods that I am using to make sure I give you guys all the information:

For grins, try Starforce's suggestion. Remember Oblivion is a 5 year old game, doesn't like to share, and is limited to about 2.5 gigs of address space.

Hmm, it does seem to run faster after I rebooted and turned my page file off. I am still getting significant stuttering when walking around and crap. It's like, if I start at the ground at a 45 degree angle and walk forward, it seems like it skips 5 frame in a row per second. I don't get it! Thanks guys for the replies so far.

Holy crap,I love you guys. I can't believe this worked. Windows 7 must have terrible pagefile management with a large amount of RAM even though it is supposed to be better optimized than Windows XP. Logically, it makes no [censored] sense why it was even using the page file. Turning off the page file has made it run at a smooth 60 FPS anywhere except when it queues an I/O task. Man, if only I could make it queue those tasks earlier in the background, my game would run perfectly. Is there any settings I can tweak for this? Thanks for all the help thus far.

Unfortunately, there really isn't much you can do about the loading stutter. That is more a factor of harddrive throughput, than anything else. The game can only svck the data off the drive so fast...... Some folks have reported success with using an SSD drive to install the game to, others have seen very little, if any, difference by doing so. Just one of the game mechanics.

Damn, thanks. I seem to have figured out the root of the problem. It all boiled down to the SuperFetch service fetching 10GB of data that it might need into the remaining 10 GB of RAM that I had free. So essentially, my RAM was full even though Windows 7 wasn't telling me about it. Apparently, it's not optimized to handle giving up some of it's memory when a game needed it, so it caused me to swap some/all the game's working memory. Disabling the service has stopped the problem and allowed me to turn paging back on. For anyone else having problems, remember that this service is on by default in Windows 7.
