Oblivion Frame Rate Problems

Did you update drivers recently? It's possible there's a bug or an improper install.

I didn't know of driver clearner pro. I uninstalled the NVIDIA drivers, rebooted, and installed the ATI. I guess something got corrupted, because I fixed this in the most round about way possible.

since this is oblvion, you can rest assured it is the game and its very nature to be screwed up.

relax. happens all the time or it does to me. i can be riding my horse through an area and get one frame rate. save it, load it up and get another. hell, even without saving i can ride through an area, fast travel to somewhere and ride back through that area and get a different frame rate even though any changes are minimal.

it is just the flaws of the engine. some say it is the way it is cause of the size of the game but really the game engine aint good enough to actually do what the devs want it to do.

true, you may have other issues but too many people have these "issues" for it be an anomaly.

farcry, may not have been the best of games but it sure could do draw distances well, unlike popup crap you get in oblivoon where fully rendered objects jump out of nowhere and cause frame rate spikes.

don't get me wrong i like the game and will play for hours but it is not a great game in alot of ways due to a poorly thought out distance rendering.
