I suppose you mean Oldblivion...as I said in another thread, there's no guarantee that someone would release such a patch. Personally I think it makes little sense now to release it, as the gap between consoles and PC's is much wider now than in Oblivion' times, and many, if not most people have GPU's capable of running Skyrim smoothly at least at Medium settings.
As I said, that card supports DX up to 10.1, so technically it'll run Skyrim, but at least in some time, until someone decides (IF someone decides) to release such a patch, you'll be on your own, sort to speak.
Is there any reason you're not upgrading? If your bucket is your concern, you can always look at some good deals in the second-hand market...
I got an all-in-one PC a year ago, so I'm unable to upgrade. Besides that, I haven't purchased a computer game
since Oldblivion. I couldn't bring myself to spend even close to a c-note to upgrade for just one game. I'm not a big fan of newer games, and I hate spending money.
I do have an Xbox 360, but I like to create my own races and, of course, use all the great mods.
I suppose I'll have to see about borrowing a copy to make sure it runs before I buy it.
I don't know much at all about ATI cards. But here's two simple things I'd say.
- If you can get a better video card for ~$60, then what you have is garbage. (I live in Australia so what you can get for $60 in the USA may be a hell of a lot better - not due to exchange rate but because things tend to be more expensive out here)
- If you could barely scraqe by in Oblivion, you're probably sunk when it comes to Skyrim. I doubt they'll scale that low. Might be time to save your pennies for a new rig.
Oh, my PC can run Oblivion on max settings now. That was my old PC that couldn't run it. I actually played Oblivion that way until about a year ago when I got my new PC.
Thanks for the replies.
