You won't be able to use large texture and mesh replacers such as Qarl's Texture Pack 3 because of the limited amount of VRAM you have, but you should be fine otherwise. The game is very much CPU bound, so your overclocked processor should be more than adequate for anything else.

Is it _really_ 128Mb of Video Ram? You might need texture size _reducers_ ...

No, sorry. That is 1 GB

I looked that card up.. it came in 2 flavors...512/1024...but don't go overboard even if having a Gig of Ram on that card. it has a 64 bit memory bus you would easily saturate that with Oblivion. if you have the fanless version watch temps....

My power supply is 400W from Thermal Lake. Very good cooling system

Thermaltake? Lol. Anyway, I can't tell if this is a joke/troll thread or not but the cooling system on your PSU won't do anything for the temps on your graphics card.

That's actually kind of low, you might want to consider getting a new one. You're probably right on the edge of having enough power, and a loss of performance from your PSU for any reason could damage the rest of your system.

http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp is a nice site that allows you to calculate what wattage PSU would be required for your hardware setup - just fill in the details as best as you can and hit the "calculate button"

Lol...this is looking more like a trowling thread... I read what you typed and thought...Huh..who needs a link...I opened Google and typed "PSU" and Google filled in Calculator. Loading the search gave me my choice from Coolermaster to Newegg...lol Even saw "TT".
