Found this site earlier which is very nice. It tests your computer to see if it'll run whatever game you've selected from the drop-down list. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion gave me these results:

According to the recommended tab, I just fall short because of my GFX card. Ho hum. It'll probably be my next thing to upgrade, but not for a long while yet. However, I come nearer the recommended settings for Oblivion than I do for Beef!

Now I thought you were just making that up, a bit at least, but I tried it to see what it says for FEAR on my machine, and I got the same message. Bit of a hussy is that site, hitting on several people at once. *tsk*

Open oblivion.ini with Notepad and find the line:

bAllowScreenShot=0

Change that line to read: bAllowScreenShot=1

Save your changes and play! When you press the PrtScr key, the game will save a copy of the screen as a bmp file starting with the name, ScreenShot0.bmp, into the Oblivion folder. :)

Have you seen this thread?

It could do with updating/tidying up, but its good for geeks to be able to compare girth.

What are your specs out of curiosity?

Edit: That was the same grade I got too, 10 pence (128MB of GFX memory) short :roll:

Athlon 64 3200
1 gig O' ram
Nvidia Quadro FX500

Graphics card lets it down as a gaming machine, as its designed for running graphics software really. The idea behind it was that this machine was for work, not games...*cough*

Heh - for me the idea of having a PC at all was for word processing. The 2 gig'o'ram, 64 bit processor and £100-odd quid graphics card just make it really good at processing them words!

Well before they started ripping features out of it I'd heard it needed at least 2 gigs'o'ram and a mid to high end graphics card to make all its little flashy gismos work properly. Think I'll wait a fair while before getting it after its out because it seems a little unnecessary just now.

I hope Fista fails badly. The interface looks horrible and it has way too much un-needed crap, i've disabled a lot of windows xp's features as it is. Classic windows ftw. Also i bet it'll mean lower fps in games because of all the resources it eats.

In other news: 4h20m till i've swept up oblivion :)
