I loaded up Oblivion on my new rig... and its great! maxed out all the sliders and its smooth! Last time I played this I had to lower settings to avoid hitches...I'm going to have to play this again...
I'll install that OOO mod too...

I need to play Shivering Isles one day soon...I never did play that one even though it has been sitting on my shelf for a long time

I remember playing this a couple years back on my 6800GT and spending hours tweaking up the ini files for performance... Today I just installed the game, patched it and now I'm playing it at max settings while downloading the OOO mod in the background and its very very smooth... no hitches... it feels like a new game!

I wonder how Morrowind would play?

heh heh...

I think Morrowind came with my geforce 4200. It played it ok, but I fired it up on my 6800 and it was awesome. On a new card, it would smoke!

Ahhh. Shivering Isles. Good expansion.

I'll have to load Oblivion on my new rig and check out the new performance.

Arcane, there are not a lot of alternatives to Oblivion that do not also require relatively new hardware.

One RPG you might consider, which has a less demanding hardware requirement than Oblivion (but not a whole lot), is Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. Rather than being set in a high fantasy environment, it is a "modern" RPG, played out in Southern California. It is somewhat buggy, but the version sold on Steam will run OK as is and there is a "true patch" bug fix available on the Internet that helps it run a little better. Incidentally, you do not have to be a "vampire" fan to like it, although that is the main concept. The story is very well done.
