I found this bit of info on the official forums. I gave these tweaks a try and indeed did gain 5-10 FPS in the game. I am pretty sure that this is only going to net gains on multi-threaded compatible CPUs.

First off, these tweaks are for your Oblivion.ini file in "My DocumentsMy GamesOblivion" NOT the Oblivion.ini in the game directory.

Try changing these values:

[OPENMP]
iThreads=10
iOpenMPLevel=10

iPreloadSizeLimit=1000000000

I imagine you can test higher and lower values to try and tweak performance more, but I just did it exactly as stated above.

It would be a good idea to back up you Oblivion.ini file before fiddling just in case.

Apparently these tweaks were handed down from one of the developers.

Good luck and I hope it helps some of you!

I love games that are highly tweakable. :twisted:

I already tried this tweak ... thanks Gabbo ... 8)

Unfortunately it didn't help me get rid of the jumps/stutters ... :(

You've got jumps/stutters Paddy? That's not good. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that's not very good at all. Which system of yours are you playing it on?

The FX-60 ... the frame rates are fine but it jumps and stutters ... even if I drop the res right down ... :?

Tweakable is fine, but requiring you to make tweaks and hacks to get a decent performance is just lazyness on the developer's side.

I hope Bethesda's already working on a patch to make some tweaks for us.

I did the tweaks and didn't see an improvement at my normal settings so just for kicks I turned on distant land, trees, etc and suffered no drop in frame rates at all. Steady 30 - 50 indoors and out accept in the battle at the end of the Paradise level. I had a signifigant drop there for a few seconds.

Even if you max out the grass and tree distance?

Yeah ... but I do have the density of the grass tweaked down ... can't remember the setting in the config and I have just reinstalled windows so I don't have the game on the system at the moment ... :roll:

I had the same problem until i maxed everything out.. although it was much worse on my X2 compared to this processor.

I assume youve tried all the nvidia tweaks from the eldar scrolls forums already yeah? I hope they release a patch soon to fix all these issues people are having.
