Oblivion lags
 

System specs are,

Pentium 4 2.8ghz
512mb of ram.
128mb nVidia GeForceFX 5200

Which seems to me, to be pretty much all you need to run the damn thing.

I have everything as low as it will go.

And cutscenes are just fucked up, they skip, and you only get to see one corner of the image, in the top left hand corner, for a few seconds, then it goes to a few seconds of working properly.

And the game itself is just terribly laggy and slow.

Ideas?

What are we? Bethesda?

Really, your videocard is the absolute minimum to play this game, so I'm not surprised.

Not to mention the fact that you have 512 ram. Lol of course it will lag. Closed.

I have 512MB too and the game runs fine.

Then again, I'm not using Pentium.

I can't believe there are people still out there in the world that believe a 5000 series graphic card is adequate for gaming. And yeah, 512 is fine to play the game in lower settings, my friend has a 9600XT and 512mb of ram and he plays the game acceptably. Of course his card can't even run the most recent shader effects so that helps tremendously for speed. It's like running half-life 2 on a low-end card and running everything at max; you aren't running "everything" at max because you can't even enable all of the bells and whistles to begin with.

Yeah, to the point. Get a new PC. Pentium 2.8 is a bottleneck for newer cards, and I imagine you don't even have a PCI-E slot on the machine (so the best you could even do is a 7800GS which is pretty inflated price-wise for it's performance). Really, with the slow processor, the low RAM and the ass video card; was there ever any doubt the game would run like shit?

I wouldn't recommend upgrading the PC just for Oblivion though.

Get a 360 if you aren't interested in PCs. That'll run it nearly as nice as a top-end PC will, for a quarter of the price.

And that's pretty much as far as this little thread that could can go. Your computer obviously isn't up to the task, so you can invest in a better PC or get an Xbox 360. Or play Into Oblivion, on the Commodore 64.
