Defragged, anti-virus turned off, latest drivers for everything. I've also tried lower resolutions, without any improvement.

So, 1680x1050 w/ 16xAA and 1280x800 w/ noAA perform the same. Weird.

I have most of what you've recommended, along with a few other visual preference mods going, and with my GTX285 and a quad-core 3.5, i'm having some seriously laggy FPS.

I run Crysis and GTA4 without breaking a sweat...consistently in the 40-60FPS range on both games at maxed out settings. Oblivion should be well within my specs, even with all these mods.

I've turned off Qarl's, turned off RAEVWD and cleared my DistantLOD directory back to the original LODs. Turning on 16xAA or turning it off doesn't have any effect at all on framerates. (which is weird.) (and don't anyone give me the line about HDR + AA not working. it works quite well and looks lovely.) But regardless, turning it off doesn't help.

Indoors it's kicking 60-90FPS, but outdoors it's dropping to 12-20FPS, which isn't really acceptable. I've tried streamline, and it buys me maybe 2 or 3 frames.

I've tried on Windows 7 64-bit (4GB RAM) and on XP 32-bit (3GB limited). Not much difference.

It seems like RAEVWD and Better Cities are the worst culprits when I turn mods off to troubleshoot, but it's still not better than a 5 frame difference.

So... I would think my rig could perform better. How does it run on yours with all these mods? Where do you keep your visual settings? Any suggestions on what might be hurting my framerate?

Thanks again.

There is certainly something wrong. My 4850 can easily pull 60fps outside with 2-4x AA.

Spokenfor,

Also realize this game is now a few years old. People are trying to make Oblivion look better using an older engine. While it is commendable and WONDERFUL and I love it it does have a downside using an old engine.

It just wont be optimized like Crysis and other games are. Oblivion would need some major overhauls in how the engine performs to make it run smoother while looking better.

I know it doesn't answer your question (I'm sorry) but it is something to keep in mind. AA slows down my computer at 1680*1050 a bit. The rain slows down things the most though.

I use Bloom not HDR.

Framerates will slow down in certain areas. But the slowdown for myself and others has been acceptable trade-off for the extra visuals.

Use Bloom instead of HDR, and try Qarl's Texture Pack Redimized, it should help with performance. I'm using the Qarl Texture Pack Redimized, Ultra High settings, Bloom and 4xAA at 1680x1050. I'm getting 40-50 frames outdoor and 50-70 frames indoor.

Well, I'm not quite sure what I did, but I fixed it.

1680x1050, HDR, 16xAA + supersampling, all settings maxed, 40+FPS consistent. Sweet.

The only thing I changed is disabling Enhanced Weather and I installed All Natural.

I'm recommending it, because it combines the weather features of Enhanced Weather, the Advanced Weather System and the Natural Environments. It also includes Real Lights, so I disabled that as a stand-alone as well.

Check out All Natural here.

Really! Need to check that one out. Glad you were able to make it work.

Is there a FOV mod for this game? The default FOV is too narrow. I tried typing fDlgFocus=2.1000 in console, but it didn't recognize that command. So is there another way to do it? Thanks.

If you have streamline, it has an option for FOV. Otherwise I'm not sure...
All naturals the best, so is Arthmoor
