Which mods are the most FPS-lowering : IV

» Fri Sep 30, 2011 7:22 am

Hi. My oblivion is 18,2 GB. I have ~220 mods installed. It's a 'little' bit unplayable. I can't enjoy the best game ever (with the best mods

) due to very low frame rate. What are the main reasons of the FPS drop? Is it caused by running too much scripts in the background? Or maybe it's caused by overloading the graphics card? I don't have any texture overhauls. Perhaps loading too many objects to the RAM?

My computer specs:
Alienware M17X10
Intel Core i7 CPU Q740 1.73 GHz
4 GB RAM
Windows 7 64bit
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870

Which mods should I remove to improve performance? Which ones are known to be FPS intensive? I don't want to delete the following (it's almost everything ;/):
-FCOM
-All Natural
-UL
-Better Cities
-Integration and its requirements

I am using Streamline and Oblivion Stutter remover.

Better Cities and Unique Landscapes take their toll. However bear in mind it's almost impossible to not have FPS slowdowns when playing Oblivion.

Depends. Where are you getting the most lag?

Also, something I read here a while back here suggested that removing some mods that use OBSE can help with performance. I suggest trimming down your load list for ANYTHING you don't need.
