The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Video Card Performance

jmke · 27th April 2006, 08:36

At the very high end, in our most strenuous benchmark, $1200 of graphics cards will buy you less than 50 fps on average. It doesn't actually matter which vendor you go with, both ATI and NVIDIA offer similar performance at the very high end with one very important exception: ATI seems to offer much higher minimum frame rates than NVIDIA at the very high end in this test. We tried adjusting the render ahead setting but couldn't improve the situation any for NVIDIA, so while both ATI and NVIDIA's best performers offer similar average frame rates, the ATI Radeon X1900 XT CrossFire setup is better overall thanks to higher minimum frame rates.

more on the cpu subject at firingsquad!

allow me to say HAHAHAHAHAHA
(in repetition lies wisdom)

quote : "Oblivion also ran faster with the AMD CPUs with 1MB L2 caches. Here the performance difference wasn’t as significant, but we still saw a nice gain of about 3-5%(!!!!!!!!!!) at 800x600.(!!!!!!!! :d)

Oblivion also plays nice with processors that run at higher clock speeds as long as you keep the screen resolution and graphics settings low(!!!)"

moehahahahhahaha!
