I have been playing Oblivion and The Witcher games on this computer for awhile on 1600X1200 setting, but I have been getting lags and stutters here and there (sometimes badly). I am wondering if there is anyone who has a system similar to mine and played games I played there. Some suggestion on what resolution to use, AA, anisotropic recommended would be helpful. I mean, I don't care to make it look perfect at the cost of performance sacrifice, but eye candy is always better than none Thanks in advance.
I never experienced any slow down or stuttering and with your setup you shouldn't have any issues for this game (check out the GPu charts for Oblivion).
It might be your CPU is overheating and the motherboard is throttling it back to stop it from falling over itself so it might be worth removing the HSF and reconnecting it. Also check the airflow in your case, and clear any dust you see.
for oblivon, i would just play about with the settings till it is fine for the witcher, i have not worked out that one apart from the draw distance, only real way of ensuring smooth play but then again, your system is better than my own so i am surprised you suffer stutter, i think it is just both game engines ain't the smoothest, pretty inefficient on both counts i would say.
