I guess the Betheseda rep saying it ran great on his 4 year old machine was full of shit...

 

[Suikoguy]

Damn I spent too much on my computer, that is exactly my system (except I just added 512mb or ram)

 

[olimario]

I have an Athlon 4400 x2
And a 6800GT
1 Gig

Will I be able to chug along?

 

[demi]

Oh man I just barely scratch the surface...

512MB
1.9GHz AMD
Radeon 9700 Pro 128MB

I can probably run it at like 800x600

 

[LAMBO]

That's pretty much my PC too, but i'll beef it up when certain vid cards and processors get cheaper. Shadows off!!

 

[BlackSalad]

3700+ @ 2700mhz
6800 GT @ ultra settings
2 gb ddr 400

:S

please run decently!

 

[VibratingDonkey]

Guess it's low-med for me then, considering system requirements usually are horrible lies. But at least I'll be able to play the damn game.

AMD64 2800+
1GB RAM
6800GT

 

[Ark-AMN]

I think I'll be fine:

3.6Ghz P4
2GB 677MHz DDR2 RAM
256MB 7800GTX

 

[GashPrex]

looking at these makes the 360 version look far more appealing(especially from a mass consumer perspective), even though I am currently building a new comp that exceeds the recommendations

 

[bengraven]

So close to going gold.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

I'll probably be OK.

eVGA Geforce 7800 GT
Athlon 64 Venice 3000+ @ 2.52 GHz (315x8)
2x1GB of Corsair Value Select @ 2.5-3-3-7 1T, 157 MHz

The 7800 is running at stock everything right now, so I can overclock it if I need to.

 

[FacelessSamurai]

I am getting a new MacBook Pro soon. Is this game gonna be released on Macs?

 

[Mejilan]

YES! I make the recommendations!

3.8Ghz Pentium 4
1GB of DDR2 RAM (probably gonna double that before the game hits)
ATI Radeon X850 XT

 

[demi]

I am getting a new MacBook Pro soon. Is this game gonna be released on Macs?

2009

lol

 

[Stryder]

Perfect, my system is pretty much the recommended one.
P4 2.8, 1gb of ram and a 6800GT.

Now to choose between which I will get, X360 or PC version.

 

[LAMBO]

Well "mass consumer" is a term that has nothing to do with pc gaming. the 360 version will outsell and be the commonly referred to version no matter what. I'm just thankful to the devs that this game is comming to pc with mod tools like they did with morrwind.

 

[FacelessSamurai]

2009

lol

Yeah, that's the kind of reply I thought I would get. Guess I'll need to buy myself a 360 then!

 

[Leonsito]

What ??

Where is the Nvidia 6600GT?

 

[FallenOne666]

So close to going gold.

Should be any day now. They said they wouldn't release PC requirements until it was finalized. It must be going through certification and such now.

 

[Raistlin]

P4 (w/HT) @ 3Ghz
512 MB RAM (dual channel DDR2 I believe) - I'll probably double this soon.



See, the problem is - I have a Dell Dimension 3000. And with it, that crappy old Intel MoBo. :\

PCI ftl

I have an Nvidia 6200 PCI (128MB) arriving in a couple of days. Unfortunately, that about the best you can do for PCI.

 

[Slo]

I guess this makes Oblivion the second game that my PC will never play. :-\

 

[Red Scarlet]

Whoa..I'll have to pass.

 

[AZ Greg]

Intel Celeron 2.2 GHZ
256 MB Ram
No Graphics Card




My Xbox 360 FTW!

 

[Coin Return]

My AMD processor is listed at being clocked at 2.0 GHz. I've heard that the clock speed on AMDs are really lower than what they actually are. Any truth to this? My specs:

AMD Athlon 64 3200+
1 GB RAM
X800 pro 256mb

 

[Lukkas]

amd64 3800 venice
2 gig ram
7800gt

Should be able to run it fine

 

[brandonh83]

I'll be alright! 256 MB RAM FTW BITCHES

Yes. My 3800 is clocked at 2.4 ghz. But it doesnt matter, they actually operate faster than the intels.

Maybe at max!

[emomoonbase]

Aww shit, I was hoping I could get by with my ram and cpu and just have to upgrade the video card. NOPE! Poor people can't be pc gamers anyway I guess.

How can you afford next gen consoles then where you need a 1000 dollar t.v. at min to even tell if the game looks next gen or not

 

[Minotauro]

Oblivion 360 reqs also announced:

* Xbox 360
* controller
* electricity
* television

An Xbox 360 and I'm all set! Woohoo!

those recommended requirements will probably be cheaper if you buy the parts on new egg than the television alone youll need for the 360 so the game doesnt look Fable on the Xbox 1.

 

[demi]

* television

That's the minimum requirement

Maximum requirement to get the most out of Oblivion is a 62" WideScreen HDTV!

 

[FallenOne666]

You honestly believe that? :lol

Who the fuck said I was buying any of those either douchesack? Did I wrong you in a past life?

 

[Lukkas]

You honestly believe that? :lol

Ive seen it. I saw Kameo running on a SDTV and it looks no better than Conker for Xbox. DOA4 on a SDTV looks EXACT minus some nicer looking textures to DOAUltimate.

My friend isnt planning to get any new 360 games until his family buys a HDTV or he can get a flat plasma with a vga plug. Either option will be very expensive.

 

[Vorian Atreides]

athlon xp3000 check
1gb ram check
geforce 6800gt check

so no problem here, nice !

Yeah, the problem with that is that those games are not Oblivion (a true next-gen game). You think Fight Night 3 will look like FN2, or MGS4 like MGS3 on a SD tv? Don't be silly.

ofcourse not. but the whole focus of these new consoles, x360 and ps3 atleast, is that youll only get their true visuals is with a 1000 dollar tv, pretty much fucking over 90% of the people that buy them.

instead of focusing so much on running these games in 720p and 1080p devs are sacrificing lots of detail and effects in order to get these games to run at those resolutions for only a fraction of the market userbase.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

My AMD processor is listed at being clocked at 2.0 GHz. I've heard that the clock speed on AMDs are really lower than what they actually are.

If you mean that the number in the product's name doesn't match up to its speed in MHz, then this is true. My Venice 3000+ is only 1.8 GHz at stock. Even overclocked it's still well below 3000 MHz.

 

[black_13]

wait so what is the AMD 64 3700 equivilant to in Pentium terms?

Aside from that I seem to meet or exceed every other requirement.

 

[LAMBO]

Pc gaming is for the few willing to pay and configure for the hope of wider range of control, graphics, and user created content creating years of enjoyment.

If freespace 2 came out for xbox or ps2, sure it would have been easier to get working and cheaper in terms of required hardware, but freespace 2 came out for the pc in 1998, and it is still getting better!!!

If the mod community is strong enough i could still be playhing Oblivion years from now.

 

[Slo]

~ Pentium @ 3.7 Ghz

 

[radios shipping overview]

Pushing the limits of sanity with my 3-year-old mobo:

Athlon XP 2400+
1.5GB DDR
X800 Pro

I should at least be able to run it as fast as I can run Morrowind on this system! Ha! Haha! Hahahahahahah!

 

[Lukkas]

a 3700 can either be 2.4 clocked or 2.2. Most likely 2.4 but with a smaller l2 cache then the 3800.

But in Petium terms thats exactly what its equivilant too, a 3700. The actual clock speed cant be compared to the Intels because the way they work is different. Thats why AMD puts the higher numbers first and the clocks second in little letters.

 

[EternalDarko]

cool, sounds good to me.

A64 X2 4200+
X850 XT PE
2GB Ram

should be able to run it with full gfx quality and hopefully some form of AA and AF.

 

[Lukkas]

WTF happend to this game ? Did they downgrade the graphics ? I havent looked at any shots of it for awhile and these are the latest I find.

I hope these are some very bad shots caught at very bad angles and the game still looks like this

That happens with every game. The first screenshots are heavily touched up and then later near the release, you get what it really looks like.

 

[Mejilan]

According to SteveMeister, the only real graphical downgrade was that they killed the uber-expensive self-shadowing on all world objects. Characters and monsters still self-shadow, IIRC, but things like apples, cups, etc (everyday items) do not anymore. This is true of both PC and X360 versions, btw.
