» Mon Jun 15, 2015 8:14 pm Why hello there.
I recently decided to start playing Oblivion, so I installed it a few days ago. By reading the official system requirements, my rig should run it on maximum, but it isn't.
I am not talking about massively low fps, but pretty decent drops. For example, when I look at the Vilverin area, outside, the fps drops to 25, but when I look at less complex stuff, it goes back to normal, about 60 fps. I have to also mention that inside buildings, I get 100+ (i don't use VSync). Also, at the beginning, when the Imperial Guards are fighting to protect the Emperor, lag strikes again. So I realised that looking at NPC faces also causes it. On other forums, I read that this could be related to the processor.
Here is my rig:
Processor: AMD Athlon™ 7750 Dual-Core Processor, 2700 Mhz, 2 Cores;
Video card: AMD Radeon HD 5750 1GB;
Ram: 6GB DDR2;
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit;
I don't see why other details would be necessary, but feel free to ask.
The funny thing is that a couple of years ago, when I tried it out, it was running perfectly (to be honest, I don't really remember the settings), but back then, I hadn't even got a Dual-Core processor.. Also, a much weaker GPU. Could possibly be a compatibility issue?
I remember loving this game, and I was expecting to be able to even install graphic mods.. well, my dreams seem to be fairly ruined 
It's quite weird that I can run Skyrim on Medium-High with almost no problem, Crysis on max and other pretty demanding games for my rig, but can't run Oblivion.
Edit: It's surely not malware, because I just formatted my whole pc. Tried to reduce distant view, but, instead of appearing fog, a weird unnatural blue appears where the shape of the trees should be, while reducing my lag by just a tiny little bit.
Thank you for taking you time, I would really appreciate your help.
