Building/Upgrading a PC for TS2
veilchen:
That doesn't bode well. Those are some nice specs Joe, and it still didn't play it? Bummer. Maybe in that case the Mobile Nvidia 8600 geoforce would be a better idea then. I might have to forgo BV, but I'll still be able to play sims and my other games? I hope so, I truly do.
Zazazu:
NWN2 actually ran almost perfectly for me. Maybe one area was slightly choppy...the battle at the very, very beginning. But Oblivion - blech. I forgot how much the FPS annoyed me when I reloaded it for a second playthrough. For some reason, rats and wolves really make it stutter. Finally decided I wasn't trying to finish it and the EP until my upgrade.
jsalemi:
Yea, it got real annoying when the Oblivion FPS slowed to a crawl in the middle of a raging fight -- made it hard to actually win them sometimes, no matter how strong the character. Just got too frustrating for me.
Zazazu:
Try it as an mystic archer. (Custom class, marksman/destructive mage). As a swordsman it's not bad, you mainly position yourself in some approximation of where the enemy is and click a lot. Aiming during stuttering sucks.

Dear sweet Christ! What sort of specs do you need to run it smoothly? Not an Oblivion player myself, but I didn't think dual core 3Gig and 1-2Gig of RAM was that far behind the times. It's fine for anything I've thrown at it. Shows what I know about the current game options, I guess.
I'm exercising my inner OCD child with TS2 anyway, so I'm not in the market for new shinies - the implied resource needs you describe for this just surprise me. I'll just bask in my ignorance of how far behind I actually am.
