Ok, so I know the system requirements, but those are usually incorrect. Anyways, here are my computer's specs.

Intel Pentium D Dual Core 3.4Ghz processor (6.8Ghz total)
2048MB RAM
ATI Radeon X1600 Pro 512MB PCI-E video card
250GB HD

Also, will my FPS be ok?

On Medium settings, you should only lag a slight bit. I have to say, that's a pretty kick *** system you have there! =D I can only go medium graphics if I use Oldblivion. -_- I wouldn't reccomend it if you have that good of a system though, because Oldblivion seems to crash a lot and sometimes it can't handle the physical memory that Oblivion actually runs on...

You kidding me ?! If Oblivion doesn't run well on this specs, nothing will :D

Dude, Oblivion on high end graphics can actually melt Bethesda's computers! O_O I'm not kidding, they had to tone down the graphics because, in the middle of one of their press conferences, the case of the computer actually started to melt, and the computer itself got WAY too hot. He could probably run it with 75% capacity for at least half an hour, but any longer than that would be putting your computer in danger...

You serious?Holy smit!

He is not lying, those computer specs won't be able to do much on Oblivion, the requirements to run it at good speeds with good textures resolution etc.. need a great video card, (ie 8800) the 7900's or x1900's are pretty good as well, processor and ram.. that game is still a monster. I'd say the performance of the game would be bottlenecked by your video card.. unless you dont have a big monitor maybe a small one like 15" to run it at 1024.. then you should be okay..

will it work on mine?
INtel Pentium 4 1600Ghz
Nvidia Geforce 2 MX 400

xD
wont work will it.....
looks like im back to MS :( lol NOT EVEN
i cant beleive my comp can handle GE (it barely lagged)!!!
isnt that amazing!
my computers a friggin miracle lol

Don't kid yourself

Don't kid yourself

Dam it sorry but thats true you can't run *****!!!!


I find it amazing as your computer is pyschotically good

ok, let me put it this way, stop overestimating. Don't worry, you can run oblivion on high settings, perhaps not maxed out, but the diffirence is negligable.

All these people say that Oblivion 'melts' their pc is just plain rubbish. Likely because they can't handle Oblivion on higher than medium and suggest it therefore requires an 'uberpc'. My pc runs oblivion at a solid 45 fps on medium to high settings: AMD 3800+ 1500Mb DDR400 mhz, Geforce 7900GT PCE 256mb. So don't believe that ...


If you want your pc to actually 'melt' right now, try Crysis completely maxed out, perhaps then i will believe you. But i'm tired of seeing people believe is just insane to run because so many reviewers say it's 'So very demanding'
Yes, it is more demanding than most other games due to the enormous amounts of processes at the same time.

But a standard pc these days can run Oblivion just fine in a descent detail, and Slash8915, you're pc is way above the standard, so yes.
Also, the main demand comes from your cpu due to the loads of physics and interaction calculations, and you obviously have enough CPU to supply that bastard.

Neothaka, did you even read my post? I said that it melted Bethsoft's computers, and I never said directly that it would melt his. I said it had the potential if your computer was like mine! But never said it would his.

And no, it's not a lie that it almost melted Bethsoft's computers. They had to tone down the graphics in the completed version of Oblivion! Meaning that the Oblivion they showed at the Press Conference had better graphics than Oblivion has now.

But i'm tired of seeing people believe is just insane to run because so many reviewers say it's 'So very demanding'

I've never read one review of Oblivion. Ever! I just bought it because I'm a solid Bethsoft fan. So don't base my views on bullshit! I took my facts from developer's articles and videos that show the computer itself actually melting.

"Dude, Oblivion on high end graphics can actually melt Bethesda's computers!"
as your reaction to: "You kidding me ?! If Oblivion doesn't run well on this specs, nothing will"
I can only assume you suppose Bethesda's PC's are like the 'ultimate pc's.
If it melted Bethesda's pc, can you tell me how they made the game? the actual development rendering and alpha phases of the game are even more demanding then the finalised product, i can only assume their pc would have melted during the creation.
if you don't want me to misunderstand you, bu slightly more cautious with the words you pick. This is the idea it gave me in any case.

also, to point out, melting computers are long inexistant by now. I'm not sure whether you ever experienced a pc overheating. Your PC will automatically, and instantly close down, way before it reaches a critical temperature, on which those materials can actually melt ....

To melt iron, you need some serious amount of degrees. Sorry, but you still haven't convinced me one single bit a pc actually melted due to oblivion

Edit: i researched this whole melting idea. Today, an actual pc melting cannot be caused due to software, but simply due to hardware funtcion, and i personally believe this has nothing to do with oblivion. If a cooler on your cpu of gpu started malfunctioning during your game session of oblivion, yes, you will reach temperatures to perhaps 70 degrees, even 80 (i'll point out, this is WAY unsufficient to melt pc materials except for wireing cover). And even if that were to happen, your system will still react the same way it would like when i twould overheat on normal circumstances, such as exposed to high outdoor temperatuur combined wiht a high base pc temperature. it will simply lock up.

Bethesda has to have "ultimate computers" to be able to make the things, and do the things, they do. I'm not saying they have the best computer's in the world, but I'm pretty damn sure they're better than anything on the market.

I told you, I took what I know from developer's articles and videos themselves of the computer melting. If I can find one, I'll show it. You seem to know a lot more about computers than me, so maybe I was told wrong. Who knows? I mean, developer's lie about their computer's melting all the time, right? (yes, that was sarcasm :p)

Really what I'm trying to say is that maybe what was written I took out of context, but I dunno. I saw a video of the back of the actual casing just melting and all of the Bethsoft employees were running around frantic trying to stop it. XD

If I can find a video or the aritcle I read, I'll try to post it up.

look, Bethesda and basicly all good developpers use exclusive pc's yes
which are a lot stronger than the strongest publicly sold pc. This makes it even less believable.

If this video shows a pc melting from the inside, that doesn't necesarely say oblivion caused it (due to what i said above). and they could have said that by means of humorising with the demands of Oblivion, such as 'It's so demanding it makes your pc melt!' while the melting just happened to occur during an oblivion session. you see my point?

Yes, I do see your point. It makes sense, but there's also the fact that I took what was written out of context as well. Such as them saying Oblivion wouldn't do that, but what had happened was blah blah blah. You get what I'm saying?

He is not lying, those computer specs won't be able to do much on Oblivion, the requirements to run it at good speeds with good textures resolution etc.. need a great video card, (ie 8800) the 7900's or x1900's are pretty good as well, processor and ram.. that game is still a monster.

I can run the game with no lag with everything maxed out :p

of course, i wasn't flaming or anything. Just 'making sure' that people wouldn't amplify the 'ZOMG, Oblivion is teh h4x0rz, it burns yr PC c4use is s0 he4vy'

I tend to get annoyed by that, next to the use of l337spe4k alltogether

I only use leetspeak when I'm joking around. :p Hell, I hardly even misspell things in all! O_O

And don't worry, no offense taken. Hope I never gave any either.

It would be quite funny if the computers managed to catch fire to something else and set fire to the building. Ok maybe not.

i believe you can yes, oblivion takes a very tough load on your CPU, and the one you are using is more than sufficient. Also i reckon 1024mb DDR2 is the same as 2048Mb DDR PC3200, the videocard is also fine for doing that.

So you see, his pc isn't really the ultimate one available, but can run oblivion at high settings easily.

i run this game just fine on high setting but dont know if anything bad going on in the background but sure i did play for 2 days +sleep with out exiting the game :)

im jealous. i can run oblivion on low/medium graphic settings and it still lags a ton :-\

Dual core does not mean double frequency...

Anyway, should run fine.

For all those asking if it can run, use this site.

Not a guaranty however, it should give some idea.

My specs -
Dual core 2.8Ghz Pentium D.
2048MB RAM
Geforce 8800GTS 320VRAM.


I run fine on highest, however I need a new processor some time...

Quad-core, maybe.

I have Intel Pentium IV 2.66ghz
1.12gb ram
ATI radeon 9200
and etc anyway long story short I got oblivion but my graphicxs card aint supported so I got white screen lolz

O really? i didn't have any problems on high settings XD I thought it looked kinda sucky for such games XD it looked so fun till you come at the start screen and you can choose your race and face -_-" ow well i only played for a hour before i unistalled it tho...

Pentium 4
512 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X

With specs like those, I'm STILL able to run Oblivion at lowest settings with slight lag...o_O
